Patches abound on this week's Technado! In our Rapid Fire segment, we kick things off with the UK ban on weak default passwords. Then, a warning from Okta on cred-stuffing attacks, and a critical bug in R that exposes orgs to supply chain risks. Collection agency FBCS got pwned this week, with millions of records being exposed - but in happier news, the Japanese police are starting a new effort to keep elderly citizens from falling prey to payment card scams.
The ArcaneDoor was a big story this week, as was yet anothrer WordPress plugin vulnerability - and in this week's D'oh! segment, the popular iSharing app was found to be sharing users locations (even when services were disabled). FInally, in our deep dive, we take a look at new Android banking malware Brokewell.
