The SAS is here \u2014 digitally, of course; it is 2020, after all. To kick off the latest iteration of the Transatlantic Cable<\/em> podcast<\/a>, Dave and I chat about a topic presented at the conference.<\/p>\n

We begin with Mark Lechtik, Igor Kuznetsov, and Yury Parshin\u2019s research on MosaicRegressor. This new malware uses a UEFI foothold to plant a second, more traditional piece of spyware on a target computer\u2019s hard drive.<\/p>\n

From there, we jump to the state of New Jersey, where a hospital hit with a ransomware attack paid a partial ransom.<\/p>\n

For our third story, we head over to the world of dating apps and discuss a vulnerability in Grindr. It\u2019s been patched, but it was pretty bad.<\/p>\n

To close things out, we look at the misuse of Excel in the UK when it comes to COVID-19 case tracking.<\/p>\n
