Risky Business #505 -- Sanger vs FireEye, Reality Winner cops a plea

Confusion reigns in David Sanger vs FireEye spat
Reality Winner pleads guilty
PEXA property settlement platform users fleeced
US Supreme Court decides location info requires a warrant
The Apple unlock bug that wasn’t

Kim Zetter on Twitter: "I wonder if Congress will hold a hearing to discuss the issue of a private US company taking on the role of the NSA to hack foreign military computers.

Kim Zetter on Twitter: "Sanger's description of what he says Mandiant did vs. what Mandiant says it did.

So many questions. https://t.co/q60mrH7IPg"
