Schneier on Equifax (1x637)

Air date: Nov 14, 2017

Mr. Schneier Goes to Washington. This week we discuss why Steve won't be relying upon Face ID for security, a clever new hack of longstanding NTFS and Windows behavior, the Vault8 WikiLeaks news, the predictable resurgence of the consumer device encryption battle, a new and clever data ex-filtration technique, new anti-Malware features coming to Chrome, an unbelievable discovery about access to the IME in Skylake and subsequent Intel chipsets, a look at who's doing the unauthorized cryptomining, WebAssembly is ready for prime time, a bit of miscellany, some closing the loop feedback with our listeners... and then we share Bruce Schneier's congressional testimony about the Equifax breach.
