Epic Games isn’t happy about how Google handled the disclosure of the serious security vulnerability in Fortnite.
Fortnite players are told they’ll have to disable a security setting on Android, the FCC finally admits that it wasn’t hit by a DDoS attack, and Verizon’s VPN smallprint raises privacy concerns. All this and much much more is discussed in the latest edition of the award-winning “Smashing Security” podcast hosted by computer security veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by David Bisson.
Encouraging Android users to download apps from non-official sources is not a good idea from the security point of view, but Epic Games wants to maximise its profits.
