SN855: Inside the NetUSB Hack

from Security Now - 16k MP3 Hosted by TWiT

This week we briefly touch on the ongoing Log4j background noise. We look at the result of the insurance industry's pushback against ransomware coverage and at the resulting changing cyber-insurance landscape. We look at another WordPress add-on problem and a supply-chain attack on a very popular add-on provider. We also wonder whether WordPress still makes sense in 2022? We cover the EU's quite welcome major bug bounty funding, and Kaspersky's discovery of a very difficult to root out UEFI bootkit. We'll share some interesting questions and topics suggested by our listeners, then we're going to take another of our recent technical deep dives to examine the precise cause of that pervasive NetUSB flaw – it's really fun and completely understandable!
