Speak of the devil... printers around the world get hacked! Vizio's TVs really were watching their watchers, Windows has a new 0-day problem, Android's easy-to-hack pattern lock, an arsonist's pacemaker rats him out, a survey finds that many iOS apps are not checking TLS certificates, the courts create continuing confusion over eMail search warrants, a blast from the past: SQL Slammer appears to return, Cellebrite's stolen cell phone cracking data begins to surface, some worrisome events in the Encrypted Web Extensions debate, Non-Windows 10 users are not alone, a couple of questions answered, my report of a terrific Sci-Fi series, a bit of miscellany... and a fun story about one-armed bandits being hacked by two armed bandits.

We invite you to read our show notes.
