Here's the latest episode of our weekly Naked Security Live video series.

It's usually somewhere between 18:00 and 19:00 UK time, which is early afternoon/late morning on the East/West coast of North America.

For those of you who [a] don't use Facebook, [b] had buffering problems while we were live, [c] would like see subtitles or use the option to speed up playback, or [d] simply want to catch up later, we also upload the finished videos to our YouTube channel.

Here's the latest video, where we advise you about the Windows bug CVE-2020-16898, informally and more catchily known as a Ping of Death.

Thanks for watching hope to see you online later this week!
