Network Break 246: Cloudflare Dumps 8chan; Cisco Settles Whistleblower Suit

Take a Network Break!

Capital One gets breached, exposing credit card applications from 106 million people in the United States and Canada; Microsoft prepares to put Skype For Business out to pasture; and Google and VMware form a cloud partnership to let customers run VMware workloads in GCP.

A VXWorks vulnerability lurks in lots of older devices, Fortinet announces new NGFWs, and Cisco settles a security whistleblower lawsuit for $8.6 million.

Cloudflare reverses its position on 8chan and stops providing hosting and DNS services to the hate site, and we get financial results from Fortinet, Extreme Networks, and Arista Networks.
