Security Now 567
Hacking Certificates
Steve and Leo discuss in detail how to avoid ransomware for your phone, Androids (FDE) master keys, Travis Ormandy, and a judge in Brazil.
Leo and I catch up with another packed week of security news, including an update on mobile ransomware, the successful extraction of Android's full disk encryption (FDE) master keys, Google's Tavis Ormandy finds horrific flaws in all Symantec traffic analyzing software, a Brazilian judge is at it again with WhatsApp, this week's IoT horror story, some miscellany and errata, and finally a look at a horribly flawed attempt to copy Let's Encrypt automation of free SSL certificate issuance.
