Show notes

Iowa Democrats continue to count their caucus results, and blame for the mess is falling squarely on Shadow, Inc.’s IowaReporterApp. Bitbucket repositories are found spreading malware. The attack on Toll Group turns out to be Mailto ransomware. The Gamaredon Group is active, against, against Ukrainian targets. Charming Kitten’s been phishing. And there’s a new legal theory out and about: the pain-in-the-ass defense. (We know some colleagues who’d plead to that.) Justin Harvey from Accenture on DNS over HTTPS (DoH). Guest is Peter Smith from Edgewise Networks on defending against Python attacks.
