iOS Charger Hack, Mac Virus, and NetTraveler
After a week hiatus due to WatchGuard's Worldwide Partner conference, I'm back with another video summary of this week's biggest security news.
Join me this episode, where I highlight an upcoming Blackhat talk about an iOS charger vulnerability, warn of a proof-of-concept (PoC) OS X virus, and share news about a new APT threat that seems to be stealing important intellectual property. I even throw in the latest software updates as a bonus. For the latest InfoSec news, click the play button below.
