The ongoing application spoofing problem, a critical IP address leakage vulnerability in TOR and the pending major v3 upgrade to TOR, a Signal app for ALL our desktops, an embarrassing and revealing glitch in Google Docs, bad behavior by an audio driver installer, a pending RFC for IoT updating, two reactions to Win10 Controlled Folder Access, a bit of miscellany, some closing the loop with our listeners, and, three weeks after the initial ROCA disclosure I'm reminded of two lines from the movie "Serenity": Assassin:"It's worse than you know." Mal:"It usually is."
