This week we look at last week's monthly Patch Tuesday and its collision with third-party AV add-ons. We examine four years of Kaspersky unique web user tracking. We look again at Tavis Ormandy's discovery of the secret undocumented CTF protocol, wondering WTF is CTF? We note a new and devastating strategy in the ransomware battle which hit Texas last Friday. We also have the sad demise of Extended Validation certificates, the further removal of FTP support from web browsers, Google's campaign to still further reduce web certificate lifetimes, and Netflix's discovery of eight implementation flaws in the new HTTP/2 protocol. We'll cover a bit of miscellany, update on my file syncing journey, touch on SQRL news and SpinRite, then conclude with a look at the most recent attack on Bluetooth pairing negotiation which renders all Bluetooth associations vulnerable to a trivial attack.
