Show Notes

Catch up on the cybersecurity and tech news of the week with Don, Dan, and Sophie as they cover the latest. This week in tech, Microsoft is beta testing a taskbar workaround that allows users to bypass the task manager program to shut down applications, a blogger discovered a Bitcoin easter egg left behind in Apple’s MacOS systems, and Cisco revealed in a financial report that as its organization was exiting Russia, it destroyed $23 million in equipment. In security news, for our “Doh!” segment, multiple vulnerabilities with Nexx devices were discovered that allow hackers to gain access to smart home systems like doorbells, alarms, and garage doors. In this week’s “Who Got Pwned?” segment, Western Digital’s My Cloud went offline after hackers gained access to its systems. Finally, for Tinfoil Hat, the FBI warned consumers about “juice jacking”, where criminals infect mobile and other devices through publicly available charging stations.
