Zero-click Exploits Attacking iPhones, PC Motherboards Downloading Malware, and a New Dutch Mandate

This week on Hacker And The Fed we discuss another zero-click exploit attacking iPhones via the iMessage app, millions of PC motherboards may be downloading malware, the FTC slams another company for violations, security researchers find a vulnerability in Gmail's checkmark system that is already being abused. And the Dutch government now mandates an easy way to contact website administrators.
