Beers with Talos EP 17: Greek Gods, Trojans, and the Spice Girls as Spirit Animals
Summary: Beers with Talos podcast episode 17 covers hosts assigning each other Spice Girl personas, a discussion of search results delivering a trojan payload when users look for banking forms, and the misnaming of troll farms. The episode also covers patching and proper network segmentation, and raises the question of whether Joel intentionally broke the uploader to delay the episode by several days.
What's compelling: The episode's concrete security point is that searching for banking forms can return a trojan payload rather than the page a user expects, which puts routine employee search behavior in scope for the same controls as any other malware vector.
