Beers with Talos Ep. #61: Hacking for good is a bad idea
Summary: Beers with Talos episode No. 61, recorded Aug. 30, 2019, covers Retadup and why it is a bad idea to execute code on other computers without permission when you do not know what that computer is doing. The episode also covers WannaCry-related headlines that the hosts say are not actually WannaCry and not news, and Google's Project Zero announcing several iOS vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild, with some exploit chains leveraging zero-days.
Key Takeaway: Project Zero found iOS exploits already in use in the wild, some chained through zero-days, meaning the attacks were live before any patch existed.
