Per the beginning of the video, it's out late, I'm jet lagged, all my clothes are dirty and I've had to raid the conference swag cupboard to even find a clean t-shirt. But be that as it may, I'm yet to miss one of these weekly vids in the 2 and a half years I've been doing them and I'm not going to start now! So with that very short intro done, here's this week's and I'll try and be a little more on the ball for the next one. [https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/troy-hunts-weekly-update-podcast...

After a mammoth 30-hour door-to-door journey, I'm back in the USA! It's Minnesota this week and I've just wrapped up a couple of days of Hack Yourself First workshop followed by the opening keynote at NDC followed by PubConf. All great events but combined with the burden of travel, all a bit tiring too (plus, it turns out that emails don't stop coming in when you're busy...) There's a real crypto theme to this week's update courtesy of some of the contents in my keynote, a really ridiculous arti...

It's the last one from home for a few weeks, both for Scott and myself. Whilst I head off to the US for a couple of weeks, he's back home to the UK before other Europe travel then we'll both end up back on the Gold Coast in a few weeks time before the AusCERT conference. This week, we're talking about how kids are so good at circumventing things like parental controls and how maybe - just maybe - talking to your kids and using some social techniques is a better (or at least complimentary) appro...

Scott is still here with me on the Gold Coast lapping up the sunshine before NDC Security next week so I thought we'd do this week's video next to the palm trees and jet ski ? But, of course, there's still a heap of stuff happening that's worthy of discussion, everything from the UK gov's NCSC doing good work to the Reply All podcast I was on this week to new data breaches to the ongoing shenanigans involving kids "smart" watches. And oh boy, the communications strategies of a couple of these in...

It's another episode with Scott Helme this week as he's back in town for NDC Security on the Gold Coast [https://ndcsecurity.com.au/] (still a got a week to get those tickets, folks!) The timing actually works out pretty well as there was this week's announcement around Let's Encrypt transition of their root cert which is right up his alley. There's also the whole TicTokTrack kids watch situation which aligns very well with many of both our prior experience. And just on that, when we recorded th...

Do you ever hear those stories from your parents along the lines of "when I was young..." and then there's a tale of how risky life was back then compared to today. You know, stuff like having to walk themselves to school without adult supervision, crazy stuff like that which we somehow seem to worry much more about today than what we did then. Never mind that far less kids go missing today than 20 years [https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/about-us/cjis/ncic/ncic-missing-person-and-unidentified-...

That's the second update in a row I've done on time! It's also another one with a bunch of other things in common with last week, namely commentary on yet more data breaches. It's not just the breaches in HIBP, but the ones I'm busily trying to disclose. This is really sucking a lot of time right now and frankly, well, I summed it up here earlier in the week: > Currently going through the process with 4 breach disclosures. 3 of them I just can’t get a response from and the one I can really does...

Wow, a weekly update back on the normal schedule! I also realised when watching this back how less tired I look compared to the last few weeks. Travel takes its toll so I touched on that a bit in this week's update, along with the usual raft of new data breaches to go into HIBP. Plus there's Facebook's incidents, both the one they're not directly responsible for and the one they are responsible for, but is also both a bit of a non-event and something that's reflective of broader issues in the in...

From last week's update in Seattle to home to Sydney to back home and a late update (again). But regardless, I'm committed to continuing the cadence of doing these updates each week and 132 of them in, I'm yet to miss a week. This week it's a combination of more of the same (travel, events and data breaches), as well as more thoughts on the future of HIBP and Cloudflare's role when it comes to nasty content online. That last one in particular is a really tricky discussion and it's one that tend...

So firstly, sorry for the audio quality. I'm pretty damn frustrated with those Instamics right now between the flakey firmware upgrade process and the unexpected loss of recording today. I'll make sure I get on top of it for next time. I'm sitting at the gate in Seattle right now about to board so I'm going to cut this intro short and jump straight into the vid. Here's this week's which has a bunch of different things in it I found interesting including the usual raft of data breaches and other...
