It's Monday April 22nd, 2013, and here are the topics from the last 2 weeks James ( @jardinesoftware ) and I ( @Wh1t3Rabbit ) will be talking about as we Monday-morning-quarterback the last 2 weeks in Information Security... Fair warning, we have way too many topics to fit into 20 minutes... so went a little bit longer but both feel it's well worth your time. Laugh, cry, and be informed.

Topics Covered

• Microsoft rolls out 2-factor authentication - James points out that Microsoft has rolled out authenticator-agnostic, robust 2-factor authentication... if only I could figure out how to use it?

• Oracle dumps a 42-patch bundle - Oracle has dropped a massive patch bundle, many of these are remotely exploitable Java issues, and it's not a walk in the part for Enterprise Security folks.
