Hacked by Cosmic Rays

March 9, 2021 By Marc Laliberte

Hacked by cosmic rays

This week on the podcast we cover Gootkitand Gootloader, two oddly-named pieces of an evasive trojan that researchers have been watching evolve into a fileless threat. We also discuss the security benefits and drawbacks of Apple’s closed-door approach to security. Finally, we end with some research on what happens when a cosmic ray causes your computer to load up the wrong destination for a network connection.

    There was an interesting episode of Radiolab call Bit Flip which included a 2003 national election in Belgium gone wrong because of a cosmic bit flip.
