#102 - Intel Chat: toothbrush DDOS, TPM-based encryption bypass & HijackLoader

In this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we discuss some cutting-edge intel coming out of LimaCharlie's community Slack channel (slack.limacharlie.io).

  • The spectacular headline announcing a DDOS attack that involved 3-million electric toothbrushes.
  • A hardware attack to bypass TPM-based encryption which is used on most Microsoft Windows devices.
