Steve and Leo tackle two new and interesting threats to Internet security. First, the newly discovered “Flame” / “Flamer” / “Skywiper” malware dwarfs Stuxnet and Duqu in capability and complexity. Then they examine the work of two University of Michigan researchers who have detailed a collection of new ways to attack the TCP protocol. They inject malicious content into innocent web pages and add malicious links to online chats.
