SN886: Wacky Data Exfiltration

from Security Now - 16k MP3 Hosted by TWiT

This week we begin by discussing the implications of last week's LastPass breach disclosure. We look at some recent saber-rattling by the U.S.'s FTC and FCC over the disclosure of presumably private location data. We share pieces of a fascinating conversation with a Russian ransomware operator, gaining some insight into the way he conducts attacks and the way he views the world. We tell everyone about a new tracking-stripping and privacy-enforcing email forwarding service that's just come out of a yearlong beta from the DuckDuckGo people. We have another big and widespread IoT update mess to share. I have some welcome progress to report about my work on SpinRite, and some listener feedback. Finally, we're going to look at some recent goings on at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, which never fails to entertain.
