This year Black Hat US really has a large number of mobile related talks!

There is not too much to talk about otherwise. I still have to read all the stuff about Android M, some stuff is covered in the links section below. Make sure to checkout some of the HITB Amsterdam 2015 slides. Some good stuff in there for us mobile sec people.

I was really amazed how much publicity the iOS messaging crash got. Yes, it was easy to trigger. But yes, this kind of stuff happened before.
