Description
In this week’s Cyber Security Brief podcast we discuss our newly-published research into the SamSam ransomware, exposed Docker APIs being used for cryptojacking, and some new activity from the Emotet botnet. With the midterm elections in the U.S. fast approaching we also take a look at some of the election security stories that have come up in the last week. Finally, we discuss a cautionary tale underlining why you shouldn’t use your work laptop to visit “adult” websites.
