This week, Jeff, Ahmed and I start off by looking at Facebook apparently shelving the idea of an Instagram for children following mounting pressure from privacy advocates.<\/p>\n
From there we look at a bizarre story involving a hamster and cryptocurrency, quickly followed by news from China that crypto is effectively banned in the country.<\/p>\n
Moving on, we take a look at two stories from the Washington Post<\/em>, the first a concerning story about office workers being put under increased surveillance on their work laptops, and the second looking at why the FBI held back a decryptor key to the recent REvil ransomware attacks.<\/p>\n Also included in this week\u2019s episode is two interviews with GReAT, the first looking at the story of a modern-day rootkit with research teammates Mark Lechtik, Aseel Kayal, Paul Rascagneres, and Vasily Berdnikov and the second about a possible connection between the DarkHalo APT and Kazuar.<\/p>\n If you liked what you heard, please consider subscribing and sharing with your friends.
