Show Notes

This week we examine the intended and unintended consequences of last week's Windows Patch Tuesday; and, speaking of unintended consequences, the U.S. government shutdown has had some, too. We also examine a significant privacy failure in WhatsApp, another ransomware decryptor (with a twist), movement on the DNS over TLS front, an expectation of the cyberthreat landscape for 2019, a cloudy forecast for The Weather Channel App, a successful 51% attack against the Ethereum Classic cryptocurrency, another court reversing compelled biometric authentication, and an update on the lingering death of Flash, now in hospice care. We then look at a bit of miscellany and errata and finish by examining the implications of the recent increase in bounty for the purchase of zero-day vulnerabilities.
