This week we'll note that the new Edge browser's Super Duper Secure Mode has been deployed and can be enabled by security-conscious users. We touch on sci-fi and SpinRite, then we look at new research into an entirely new class of cross-site privacy breaches affecting every web browser including a test every user can run for themselves on their various browsers.
GAME CIH 2.0 WINDOWS
Microsoft softens the glue between Windows 11 and Edge, bad guys find a new way of slipping malware into our machines, a botnet uses the bitcoin blockchain for backup communications, and HP has 150 printer models in dire need of firmware updates. We look at the horrifying lack of security in smartwatches for children (smartwatches for children?!?), and at the next six VPN services to be banned in Russia. This week Tavis Ormandy finds a bug in Mozilla's NSS signature verification. Then, we'll roll up our sleeves and by the end of today's episode listening will understand exactly how, why and what happened with Log4j and Log4Shell. We have a single item of closing the loop feedback about today's main topic, a bit of Sci-Fi and a SpinRite update. I need to correct the record over my undeserved praise, last week, for Windows 11 and its loosening grip over its Edge browser association, and we need to warn all WordPress site admins about a new and serious set of threats. But first we're going to talk a bit about last week's massive Amazon network services outage and the unfortunate but probably inevitable abuse of Apple's AirTag ecosystem. This is at the far other end of that spectrum.
Log4Shell is not like Spectre or Meltdown, which were academic theories. This week we will, of course, be discussing what's being called the worst Internet-wide security catastrophe in recent memory. We'll touch on a sci-fi reminder and a SpinRite update, then dig into what's happened since last week on the Log4j front. We have a new and interesting means of increasing the power of fraudulent cell tower Stingray attacks, and a continuing threat from cross-radio WiFi-to-Bluetooth leakage.
GAME CIH 2.0 PATCH
But before that we'll look at what will hopefully be Chrome's final zero-day patch of the year, Firefox's surprise refusal to take its users to, and Mozilla's decision to protect its users from Windows 10 cloud-based clipboard sharing. So this week we'll look at the further consequences of the Log4j vulnerabilities, including the two additional updates the Apache group have since released. There was no way that a massively widespread vulnerability in Java with a CVSS score of 10.0 would be wrapped up in a week.
