For the 127th episode of the Kaspersky Transatlantic Cable<\/em> podcast<\/a>, Dave and I start by looking at a story about an interesting unsecured server. Unlike many recent stories that mention insecure AWS or Azure servers at random companies, this one comes from Microsoft\u2019s support.<\/p>\n

Although the server has since been secured, it is worth double-checking that you are really chatting with the company should you be looking for support.<\/p>\n

Following that story, we look at some vulnerabilities in Apple\u2019s anti-Web-tracking features.<\/p>\n\n

The third story is about Mozilla\u2019s recent move in its battle against malicious browser extensions: banning about 200 add-ons from Firefox. From there, we jump into the dating pool with a story on Tinder\u2019s panic button. It sounds like a good idea, but the app, Noonlight, is separate \u2014 and it\u2019s sharing data with third-party brokers. So, in a nutshell, big data + dating = big marketing.<\/p>\n

To close out the podcast, we head to the state of New York, where a proposed bill looks to ban municipalities from paying the ransom from ransomware attacks.<\/p>\n
