China's arested 15,000 that "jeopardized Internet security" tho that does not mean what you think it means. Patch WordPress, there's some nasty exploits.

Christian Fernandez yeah is ironic all this security researchers using 90% of their time Kali linux and they have it on a VM... makes more sense in my book to have Windows on a VM for apps that do not run on linux(not many security apps do not run on linux) and linux as the main system... heck the whole internet runs on linux... seems to me this people is more scare of a change than anything else..."drug addicted" of popular propaganda(OSX,Windows)

August 19, 2015 22:38:47 · Reply

Christian Fernandez like really in 2015 there is no excuse to not run Linux, is even easier and supported and the only few apps that does not like most MS and OSX apps will if it was more used.. so the more people on Linux the more you get your propietary (bad) software on linux..

The US Secretary of State is worried about China and Russia hacking his email. OwnStar is expanding to add BMW, Mercedes, and Chrysler virtual keys on iOS, Oracle's Chief Security Office -and EULA- gets mocked for telling security researchers, "Don’t, Just Don’t,” and the NSA loves AT&T for the "ability to spy on vast quantities of Internet traffic passing through the United States."

Automotive hacking is in its infancy, and already you can see a clear path to failure... just look at how Tesla responsds to hackers compared to Chrysler. Ars Technica calls it: Android updates are a complete failure when it comes to patching security flaws. Ubiquiti Networks makes awesome networking gear... and got taken for $46 million via a simple, but effective, “business email compromise" con.

We will be giving you an epic roundup of all the news coming out of LAS when we get back! Due to prepping for the convention and because we aren't fully funded for 3x per week, we've been posting 1-2 episodes per week. Keep sharing the show with your friends and family!

Windows 10 Upgrade Ransomware, Thunderstrike 2 Mac Hack, New TOR Anonymity Attack - Threatwire



Don’t click on links in email. Ever. Especially if they claim to be Windows 10 upgrade links, ‘cause CTB Locker Ransomware hurts. Does the latest TOR attack spell DOOM for privacy, or is it overrated and fairly easy to spoof? The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit reversed a lower court decision tossing out a class action lawsuit over at 2014 data breach at Neiman Marcus, and, hey, how much is your stolen identity worth, anyhow? Meanwhile Thunderstrike 2 takes the Mac OS X firmware attack to the next level. Watch the video to find out more!
