SN721: Exposed Cloud Databases
from Security Now - 16k MP3 Hosted by TWiT
This week we track further occurrences of ransomware in Florida and elsewhere. We check in on the state of the "going dark" anti-encryption debate. We look at a stunning new BlueKeep proof-of-concept demo produced by the guys at SophosLabs. We update some miscellany and present some closing-the-loop feedback from our terrific listeners. Then we examine the nature of the continuing problem of massive publicly exposed databases. In the third example of this just this week, we discover a prolific Chinese IoT manufacturer who is logging more than a million of their customers' devices into an exposed database of two-billion-plus records - which returns us to the dilemma we have with the utter lack of oversight and control over our own IoT devices, and the need to soberly reconsider what "IoT" stands for.
