SN 894: Data Breach Responsibility

This week we note the release of an updated Firefox browser and Google's welcome and interesting announcement of a super-secure-by- design open source operating system project. We look at the latest cryptocurrency craziness and at a new Windows 0-day which bypasses downloaded executable file security checks. And speaking of 0-days, Apple just patched their iPhone and iPad OS's against their 9th 0-day of the year. We then take a look at the forces driving the evolutionary demise of previously rampant banking malware and at today's critical VMWare update. Then, after sharing and addressing some interesting listener feedback, we'll take a look at new Australian legislation aimed at punishing data breaches and consider the ethics of Australia's proposed new heavy fines.
