In today's podcast, we hear about a new campaign that targets humanitarian organizations with North Korean phishbait. Memcrash is now being exploited by criminal extortionists. Equifax losses from last year's breach are said to mount. Germany says it detected the compromise of a secure government network before too much damage was done. They don't offer official attribution, but everyone else says it was the Russians. The Russians say they didn't do it. President Putin deplores "yelling and hollering" in the US Congress. Ben Yelin from UMD CHHS on section 702 reauthorization.
