WatchGuard Security Week in Review: Episode 21

June 8, 2012 By Corey Nachreiner

Huge Linkedin Password Leak, Flame Updates, and Microsoft Patch Day

Need a quick video summary of the biggest security stories of the week? Well, you’ve come to the right place.

This week’s news includes interesting new analysis of the Flame worm, a major Linkedin password leak, and some information about new software updates, including Microsoft’s upcoming Patch day. Check out the video below for all the details, or follow the links in Reference section if you prefer to read.

By the way, I apologize that this week’s episode is coming out later in the afternoon than normal. I finished it early this morning, but my hotel network severely limited my upload speed, which delayed this video post.

(Episode Runtime: 10:45)
