Description

In this week’s Symantec Cyber Security Brief we discuss authorities' pursuit of Webstresser users, Japan allowing officials to hack civilians’ IoT devices in an attempt to improve security, and the much-discussed Apple Facetime bug. We also chat about the Razy malware attempting to steal cryptocurrencies, an evolution of business email compromise (BEC) scams, and a bizarre sting operation targeting the Citizen Lab internet watchdog group.
