@TechJournalist a5 - i’m still …concerned about weaponization of meltdown/spectre attacks (Intel CPU flaws). Very difficult to detect, patching has been hard..so when/if real world attacks emerge…could be…trouble.
@techjournalist to @editingwhiz A3) - LACK of updates /plenty of weaknesses (ranging from lack of encryption, to default password use) make IoT an attractive target/ in terms of protections…network based stuff (where traffic is filtered via DS) can be a real help
From Sean Michael Kerner @techjournalist: Replying to @editingwhiz a4 - The basic idea behind a ‘sandbox’ is to isolate running processes/ from the rest of a system. Makes a lot of sense and is a common practice across the best tools i know.. #eWEEKchat
