Steve announces the release of his new freeware utility ValiDrive for detecting fake drive capacities. 23andMe claims a recent data breach exposed customer info due to credential stuffing attacks. Key stats from Microsoft's 2023 Digital Defense Report on cyberattacks, including increased attacks on open source software, growth in business email compromise, and more password attacks. Brave lays off 9% of its staff amid the tough economic climate, despite its efforts to diversify revenue with new search features. Google Docs exports replace links with tracking redirects, enabling Google to monitor clicked links from exported documents. The MOVEit breach impacted Sony, exposing employee and family data. Firefox 118 now supports Encrypted ClientHello for hiding site requests from network surveillance. Google will provide 7 years of updates for its new Pixel phones, up from 5 years previously. The MACE Act passed overwhelmingly in Congress, allowing agencies more flexibility in cybersecurity hiring. Median dwell time for ransomware dropped to less than 1 day, with human-driven attacks deploying it faster. Steve digs into the top 10 cybersecurity misconfigurations outlined in the new NSA/CISA advisory.

Apple has quietly removed support for Postscript in macOS Ventura over security concerns with the outdated interpreter language. China has formally accused the NSA of hacking and maintaining access to Huawei servers since 2009, based on documents from Edward Snowden. A misconfigured Azure Shared Access Signature token resulted in 38TB of sensitive internal Microsoft data being exposed, including employee backups with passwords. The Signal messaging platform has added a post-quantum encryption protocol called PQXDH, combining its existing X3DH with the believed quantum-resistant CRYSTALS-Kyber system. A zero-day iOS exploit chain was used to target Egyptian presidential candidate Ahmed Eltantawy, redirecting his traffic to install spyware after visiting a non-HTTPS site. Steve gave an update on the status of his forthcoming ValiDrive USB validation utility, explaining delays due to challenges working at the USB level under Windows. A blog post argued that the complexity of modern web browsers has made it impossible to create competitive new browsers from scratch. An emailer claimed to have a mathematical algorithm that can generate truly random numbers. Another emailer asked whether encrypting and deleting a hard drive could substitute for overwriting with random data. There was an explanation of how public key encryption can be used bidirectionally for both encryption and authentication. Listener questions whether all stolen LastPass vaults will eventually be decrypted.

Steve provides an update on ValiDrive, his new freeware utility for testing USB drives. It identifies bogus mass storage drives and performance differences between drives. There has been another sighting of Google's Topics API, this time on Android phones. It allows apps to get information about users' interests based on recent app usage. Apple has opened up their iPhones to security researchers through their Security Research Device program since 2019. Researchers get access to customize kernels, entitlements, and other low-level features without compromising security. Research reveals vulnerabilities in browser extensions that allow them to steal plaintext passwords from a website's HTML source code. Even sites like Google, Facebook, Amazon, IRS, and Capital One are affected. Feedback from listeners on topics like Apple's stance on scanning iCloud data for CSAM, Microsoft's broken TLS timestamp implementation, using VirusTotal to check downloaded files, ReadSpeed limitations, and downloading malware for VirusTotal checks. Apple publicly shares a letter from a CSAM activist demanding they implement scanning to detect child abuse images in iCloud Photos. Apple responds clearly stating they will not compromise user privacy and security to do so.
