This week we examine how Estonia handled the Infineon crypto bug, two additional consequences of the pressure to maliciously mine cryptocurrency, 0-day exploits in the popular vBulletin forum system, Mozilla in the doghouse over Mr. Robot, Win10's insecure password manager mistake, when legacy protocol comes back to bite us, hole to bulk-steal any Chrome user's entire stored password vault... and we finally know where and why the uber-potent Mirai botnet was created, and by whom. We also have a bit of errata and some fun miscellany.. then we're going to take a look at BGP, another creaky yet crucial -- and vulnerable -- protocol that glues the global Internet together.

We invite you to read our show notes.

Top 5 Microsoft stories of 2017!

MJF's picks - stuff that fell under the radar:

• MS reorganizes sales staff

• Big bundles
• Everybody's a friend, nobody's an enemy

PT's picks - hottest stories:

• Windows as a service
• Progressive web apps
• Xbox One X
• AR and VR
• Windows 10 Snapdragon

More information and more questions since last week's event. There are obvious issues, but this is the future of the platform and it matters. Snapdragon 845 is huge, but how will these new features impact the PC? MS is working on more eSIM and power management capabilities for Always Connected PCs. Microsoft Edge usage is apparently even worse than we thought. Cortana now works with Google Calendar. Windows 10 whiteboard app is now in public preview. Microsoft claims education gains, but are they true? Team me up, Scotty! Teams is starting to get some of the advanced calling features MS promised, but full guest access for Teams is delayed until next year. MS Quantum Computing dev kit is here minus the quantum computers.

Tip of the Week: 12 Days of Microsoft Deals. Today's deal is $200 off Windows Mixed Reality headsets.

App Pick of the Week: Stardock Groupy is here and PUBG arrives on Xbox One!

Enterprise Pick of the Week: Biz users beware of possible Microsoft support price hikes.

Codename Pick of the Week: Cobalt.
