SN870: That "Passkeys" Thing

from Security Now - 16k MP3 Hosted by TWiT

This week we look at a patch to Android to thwart an actively exploited vulnerability. We briefly revisit Connecticut's new privacy law and we take a quick look at the raft of recent ransomware victims. The U.S. State Department has added another ransomware group to its big bounty list and we look at what's being called the biggest cybersecurity threat facing the U.S. Meanwhile, the White House issues a memorandum about the threat from quantum computing and we have the discovery of a new and pernicious DNS vulnerability that's unlikely to be fixed in our IoT devices. And after looking at F5 Networks new and quite serious troubles, we close the loop with some listener feedback, briefly discuss the past week of Sci-Fi news, then finish by looking at the past week's most Tweeted-to-me question: "What's that passkeys thing that Apple, Google and Microsoft are adopting?"
