CISPA, Game Dev Breaches, and Android Plane Hack

This week I cover some Bitcoin mining malware, CISPA returning from the ashes, some game related network attacks, and most interestingly, an Android smartphone hacking an airplane. For the details, watch the video below.
By the way, I apologize for the shaky camera. I forgot my tripod on this trip and shooting video with a busy schedule has its challenges. Don’t forget to check out the Reference section if you want to learn more.
