Episode 106: Admin Password Resets, Blockchain Botnets and a Central Management RCE

WordPress 5.7 is due to be released on March 9, and it will allow administrators to send password reset emails to users.

Android users now have an easy way to check password security. We talk about the ramifications of vulnerability disclosures and how last year's File Manager vulnerability did not have long lasting effects on plugin installation base or growth. We also discuss how investor data breach fatigue has reduced the stock price of cybersecurity failures.
