SN 665: VPNFilter

This week we discuss Oracle's planned end of serialization, Ghostery's GDPR faux paus, the emergence of a clever new banking Trojan, Amazon Echo and the case of the Fuzzy Match, more welcome movement from Mozilla, yet another steganographic hideout, an actual real-world appearance of HTTP Error 418 (I'm a Teapot!), the hype over Z-Wave's Z-Shave, and a deep dive into the half a million strong VPNFilter botnet.

We invite you to read our show notes.

Hosts: Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte
