A zero-click exploit affects iPhones belonging to Kaspersky employees. A GRU cyber campaign incorporates novel malware. The Indian government targets Apple over hacking attempts. Microsoft disables App Installer. Australian courts’ AV is compromised. A BlackBasta decryptor is released. Cyber Toufan claims attacks against Israeli targets. Patients in Oklahoma face online extortion. LoanCare customers’ data is at risk. Google settles a private browsing lawsuit. Barracuda patches a zero-day. That Chinese spy balloon was making a local call. And then Caleb Barlow, a friend of our show, shares password security tips you should know.
