(Although there are an unbelievable FIVE Sharknado movies, this will be the first and last time we use that title for a podcast!) This week we have another update on Marcus Hutchins, we discuss the validity of Wikileaks documents, the feasibility of rigorously proving software correctness, nearly half a million people need to get their body's firmware updated, another controversial CIA project exposed by Wikileaks, a careful analysis of the FCC's Title II Net Neutrality public comments comments, a neat two factor auth tracking site, the stupid patent of the month, an example of a vanity top level domain, a bit of errata, where did SpinRite come from?, and ... utterly unconscionable security mistakes made by AT&T in their line of U-Verse routers.

We invite you to read the show notes.
