Mass WordPress Site Hacks, OS X Update, and Major Verisign Breach
This week’s WatchGuard Security Week in Review comes to you from on the road in Texas. I’m travelling this week to speak at various WatchGuard security events, but was still able to record an episode using my iPhone. You’ve got to love technology!
That said, due to my travel schedule on Friday, I had to produce this episode on Thursday. That means this episode could miss any big security stories that come out today. If that’s the case, I will update this post later to let you know about it
As usual, if you prefer text to video, check out the reference links below. We also love to hear from you, so if I can do anything to improve these weekly summaries for you, let me know in the comments section below. (Video Runtime: 4:21)
