Protip for my listeners: If you want to skip over the introduction, the headlines will generally start at 1:15, and the commentaries will start at 6:18, unless there is a programming note (as in Ep. 45) or a cold open (as in Ep 44) in which case it will be pushed back by a few seconds, but should still be pretty close.
Headlines: latest ransomware victims, cybersecurity from the federal government view, AI botches COVID predictions, barcodes and the EICAR string. PwnedPiper vulnerability on pneumatic tube systems. Secure disposal of old computers. Let’s not return to the office.
