Security Briefing: April 12th

I’m back from the dead. At least that’s how it feels. For the last 10 days I’ve been flat on my back thanks to pneumonia of all things. It smacked the stuffing out of me. Glad to be back among the living.

In other news, our very own James Arlen will be speaking at Black Hat Europe this week. The talk will be on April 14th at 3:15 pm local time. Hopefully, he won’t manage to cause an international incident. 🙂

cheers,
Dave
