SN 1019: EU OS - Troy Hunt Phished, Ransomware List, InControl

  • Summary

    • Kuala Lumpur International Airport says no to a ransom attack, switches to whiteboard.
    • A tired and jet-lagged Troy Hunt got Phished then listed himself on his own site.
    • Cloudflare completely pulls the plug on port 80 (HTTP) API access.
    • Malware is switching to obscure languages to avoid detection. FORTH, anyone?
    • Password reuse doesn't appear to be dropping. Cloudflare has numbers.
    • A listener shares his log of malicious Microsoft login attempts. Why no geofencing?
    • 23andMe down for the count (reminder).
    • A sobering Ransomware attack & victim listing website. Gulp!
    • "InControl" keeps VR planes aloft.
    • And the European Union gets serious about a switch to Linux
