Security Now (Audio)
• The expressive power of the social media friends we keep
• The persistent DNS hijacking campaign which has the US Government quite concerned
• Last week’s iOS and macOS updates (and doubtless another one very soon!)
• A valiant effort to take down malware distribution domains
• Chrome catching up to IE and Firefox with drive-by file downloads
• Two particularly worrisome vulnerabilities in two Cisco router models publicly disclosed last Friday
• The state of the industry and the consequences of extensions to our web browsers.
