Fans of the Chet Chat may have noticed that I missed a week... I don't have planned breaks, so on occasion travel and sickness combine in one ugly week and disrupt my good intentions.
Fortunately for me, Paul Ducklin stepped in to help this week and agreed to not only be my guest, but to edit the podcast as well. Thanks Duck! Paul applied the same precision scalpel he uses when editing the 90 second news, bringing you the best bits of our conversation in under 15 minutes.
Paul and I talked about the new technical paper published by SophosLabs on the Popureb rootkit and the risks and benefits of jailbreaking your iDevice using jailbreakme.com.
We also discussed the failure of many WordPress users to secure their blogs. To wrap up the podcast we had a long chat about password security in the wake of the Twitter accounts of Fox News and PayPal UK being hacked.

Sorry everyone, typos happen... All fixed now.
Good episode!
Surprising to learn of Sir Duck's preference for a jailbroken iOS device. Then again, if I could somehow force myself to enjoy the "i" devices, I'd probably want to jailbreak them as well.
You guys are awesome, keep up the good work.
