Episode description

It's all about RCE this week on Technado! First up, in our Rapid Fire segment, the new "GhostRace" attack can bypass security checks to access sensitive info. In the ongoing WordPress saga, some miniOrange plugins have a critical flaw - including its malware scanner. Over 130k Fortinent boxes are still susceptible to a month old (already patched!) flaw, and AT&T suffered a breach exposing 70 million customers' data - or did they?

For fans of Esports and Apex Legends, an RCE flaw forced ALGS finals to shut down - but no one seems to know whose fault it really is. And in our Behind Bars segment, a Moldovan national will serve 42 months in a US prison for selling 350k+ stolen creds.

After a quick break to discuss Robocop (Sophie's latest movie assignment), it's time for a Deep Dive! Daniel takes us through a breakdown of an attack campaign designed to use Captchas, HTML, and other legitimate services to steal information. Finally, Fortra FileCatalyst has a flaw in its file uploading feature. Patch now!
