Apple just rewrote the rules of device security with a chip-level upgrade that could wipe out most iPhone vulnerabilities overnight. Find out how "memory integrity enforcement" aims to make exploits a thing of the past—and why it took half a decade to pull off. Are Bitcoin ATMs anything more than scamming terminals. Ransomware hits the Uvalde school district and Jaguar. Did "Scattered LapSus Hunters" just throw in the towel. Germany, for one, to vote "no" on Chat Control. Russia's new MAX messenger has startup troubles. Samsung follows Apple's WhatsApp patch chain. Shocker: UK school hacks are mostly by students. HackerOne was hacked. Connected washing machines in Amsterdam hacked. DDoS breaks another record. Bluesky to implement conditional age verification. Enforcement actions for Global Privacy Control. Might Apple have finally beaten vulnerabilities Show Notes - https://www.grc.com/sn/SN-1043-Notes.pdf Hosts: Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte Download or subscribe to Security Now at https://twit.tv/shows/security-now.

Is the U.S. on the verge of legalizing "hack back" missions, turning private companies into sanctioned cyber warriors? Steve and Leo unpack Google's plan for a cyber disruption unit and why the lines between defense and digital retaliation are suddenly blurring. My experience with 'X' vs email. Google TIG blackmailed to fire two security researchers. 1.1.1.1 DNS TLS certificate mis-issued. Artists blackmailed with threats of training AI on their art. Firefox extended end-of-life for Windows 7 to next March. Is the renewal of cybersecurity info sharing coming soon. Should security analysis be censored due to vibe-coding.
