The Other Side Of The Firewall

Sidewalks and Ransomware


Listen Later

Happy belated Thanksgiving, everyone! In this episode Ryan, Shannon, and LeVon discuss; the lack of diversity in Silicon Valley, Amazon Sidewalk's controversial rollout and how to disable it, 2020's Rise of Ransomware, and introduce a new segment called "Patch Notes". This week's Patch Notes focuses on a GTA style vulnerability affecting Tesla's Model X and a bug that allows attackers to ease drop on Android Facebook Messenger users. Near the end of the show we also take a stroll down memory lane and try to figure out what happened to third-party accessory maker Mad Catz. Please enjoy this jam packed show and leave us your questions, comments, and concerns via the Patreon, Instagram, FB, Twitter and email. Thanks!
