MH370 Scams, Google Play DDoSed, and Operation Windigo
Each week I summarize the biggest information security news in a short video, so you don’t have to go searching for it yourself. If you’re interested in the latest infosec updates, be sure to watch each Friday.
Today’s late episode covers a few cyber security stories around the disappeared MH370 flight, news about a penetration tester downing Google Play, and a report about a cyber attack campaign that hijacked 25,000 Linux servers. Watch the video for the full scoops, and check the Reference section below for more info.
Have a great weekend.
