In other breaking news, Black Basta threat actors may have exploited a Windows 0-day, and Fortinet has patched multiple vulnerabilities in FortiOS. And WWDC isn’t the only Apple news this week: the tech giant is refusing to pay a $1 million bounty to Kaspersky labs for some iOS zero-days.
After our Apple tirade, we cover some malicious VSCode extensions with MILLIONS of downloads. Then, we take a look at not one, but TWO 4chan data leaks of some major companies: the New York Times and Disney.
Following a quick break, we say hello to an old friend in this week’s D’oh! Segment: it’s LastPass! The company essentially DoS’ed themselves thanks to a faulty Chrome extension.
