Security Now 608: News & Feedback Potpourri


Listen Later

This week Steve and Leo discuss another new side-channel attack on smartphone PIN entry (and much more), Smartphone fingerprint readers turn out to be far more spoofable that we had hoped. All Linux kernels prior to v4.5 are vulnerable to a serious remote network attack over UDP, a way to prevent Google from tracking the search links we click (and to allow us to copy the links from the search results), the latest NSA Vault7 data dump nightmare, the problem with punycode domains, four years after the public UPnP router exposure, looking closely at the mixed blessing of hiding WiFi access point SSID broadcasts, some miscellany, and then a collection of quick "Closing The Loop" follow-ups from last week's "Proactive Privacy" podcast.

We invite you to read our show notes.
