About this episode

This episode discusses security signals, a new Android malware, and the risks of free VPN apps and sharing house key photos online.

This episode covers six security signals that dropped overnight, including a new Android malware called RedHook that exploits wireless debugging features to gain shell access without triggering USB prompts. Adrian also digs into why free VPN apps are mostly trash and why posting photos of your house keys online is a very bad idea.
