Topics covered
- The FBI paid a visit to the "researcher" who revealed (and tinkered with) the hacked Yahoo! servers - we discuss the various aspects of this case, which we've been going round and round on lately
- US Cyber Security Czar Michael Daniel wants us passwords gone, replaced by .... "selfies"; We wish we were making this one up or the link was to an Onion article, but sometimes the jokes write themselves in a sad, sad way
- Pres. Obama has issued an executive order that all government payment cards now must be "chip & pin"; once again underscoring that "just do something" may be worse than actually doing nothing -- we'd love to hear your thoughts?
- Notable data breaches discussed:
- POODLE, the latest OMG SSL vulnerability; is this really that big a deal that there is a public vulnerability in a protocol that should have become extinct at the turn of the century? (Hint: Sadly, yes)
