Show Notes
In this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we discuss some cutting-edge intel coming out of LimaCharlie's community Slack channel.
- The spectacular headline announcing a DDOS attack that involved 3-million electric toothbrushes.
- A hardware attack to bypass TPM-based encryption which is used on most Microsoft Windows devices.
- CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat.
