7MS #443: Cyber News - Thankful for Patches Edition

Happy Thanksgiving! While the turkey and pie settle in your belly, why not also digest some fantastic security news stories with our pal Gh0sthax?

  • As a follow up to a story from last month, ransomware was not to blame for the death of a woman in Germany.
