Summary

In today's podcast, we hear about possible patriotic hacktivism in South Asia. IoT devices are being exploited as proxies, and exploit kits continue to serve up ransomware against poorly managed systems. Market volatility puts cyber stocks on a roller coaster.

We welcome our newest Academic and Research Partner, Ran Yahalom, Project Leader at the Malware Lab of the Cyber Security Research Center at Ben-Gurion University. LastPass' Amber Steel shares the results of their recent password security survey. And criminal cartels use in-game currencies for money laundering.
