RIP Denver video rental scene
Can you believe we're already in June? Us either. Summer is upon us... kids are out of school and robotic security guards are coming to get you. Join us this week as we plumb the depths of security in the Colorado community and find a few nuggets worth discussing. My favorite is Coalfire's anatomy of paying a ransom. But don't miss the news of the death of Denver's last video rental store.
