Hello folks, welcome to the security box. On this edition of the program, we're going to talk about your security posture. We've got two bonehead of the day awards and plenty of discussion both in news and our main topic! Stay tuned for our next podcast, we'll be here again soon!

On this podcast, learn about the domain registry, a company who basicly lied to me and told me something I couldn't even do to begin with. Turns out this company is a liar, possibly a scammer and no, they won't be linked as their web site is not all that accessible as I asked.

Welcome to podcast 125 of the Security Box series. On this edition, let's talk about a new book we found during the break, one in which might be of interest since we're going to talk about security posture later. The book is titled The Ransomware Hunting Team: A Band of Misfits' Improbable Crusade to Save the World from Cybercrime by Renee Dudley and Daniel Golden. While it doesn't cover your posture per say, it does cover a team who is behind you in the fight and understands the struggles. You see, its not all your fault, we understand that. You could even do everything right, including having the right training.

Next, we're going to cover two articles that cover the year end review and what is coming up in predictions for 2023.

We may have blogged these, but if we haven't, they'll be blogged as part of the podcast show notes which these are.

Besides that, we'll have plenty of things in news if we can remember it all, and of course, we'll have lots of discussion on things that might not be in the roundup. We hope you enjoy this edtion of the podcast, and thanks for listening!

Welcome to the Security box, podcast 124. On this podcast, we've got news coming out of Security Now about another root Certificate company that is no more. We've got news and notes from around the landscape, and Ransomware payments have hit at least a billion dollars. All this, including questions, comments and other miscellanious activity on today's show.

Trust Core

Security Now podcast 900 is full of questions. One of which for this podcast talks about another trust certificate authority that isn't. The apparent company is called Trust Core. This reminds me of the Hong Kong post office and why they were a trusted certificate authority. We've never covered certificate authorities and maybe we need to. Let's just say that they intercepted traffic and installed malware.

EUFY not telling the truth

I don't have any articles, but SN 900 covered this and I saw a notice from Malware Bytes. They say that footage from their cameras are not send to the cloud, but an Ars Technica article mentioned by Stieve indicates otherwise. The company Anker (not to be confused with Anchor) says this is not the case.

Ransomware costing a billion dollars

Ransomware costs top $1 billion as White House inks new threat-sharing initiative is a Cyberscoop article and our main topic. If we can share intelligence, maybe we can better defend against these problems and maybe Ransomware can be slowed down. We'll see how it goes.

I'd personally like to thank Herbie Allen for his time running the stream during our internet outage today. Thanks friend!

Below, please find the show notes for today's program. I hope to see you all next week!

Welcome to the security box, podcast 123. Today, we're going to cover the psychology of passwords 2022 report. We'll also have the news from around the landscape, maybe an asshole award of the podcast if one is warranted and much more. I hope you enjoy the program as much as I enjoy bringing it to you.

The Psychology of Passwords report

The article we're going to take from this time is New Report: 2022 Psychology of Passwords from Lastpass.

Wile most people receiving some cyber security training during the pandemic probably learn a few things, 62 percent still reuse passwords. The article links to the full report but we'll only talk about what is in the article itself. Maybe we can apply it to this community and give our thoughts on how this community should shift its thinking.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Security Box. We did get a callin that we didn't know wanted to call in to let us know some things, but we got it all working out. This may affect may different people and we hope that this is a learning experience for you. Please stay safe.

Welcome to the Security Box, podcast 122. On this podcast, we will be covering some news that came out of Freshbooks on Wednesday, November 23, 2022. We'll also be covering Card Skimming and how it disproportionately is a disadvantage to people who use EBT cards. We'll also have plenty of news and notes from around the landscape and we'll also see what else people want to talk about as we return from our Thanksgiving break.

Freshbooks

As we blogged on November 23, 2022, Freshbooks became victim to Phishing. The company itself did not get phished, but people who are customers and non-customers were hitting Freshbooks's Twitter asking if emails were real or not. Freshbooks reports that these emails are fake, and said that emails come from freshbooks.com or any of its properties and not from anywhere else. The technology blog and podcast's coverage of this event

On November 29, 2022, they indicated to the JRN that while there was no incident, the phishing uses other domains that is outside of Freshbooks itself. They linked to an FAQ titled What Emails Are Sent Out of My Account? Please read this FAQ if you're a freshbooks customer or get email from them as a customer of someone who pays to send invoices.

EBT cards are now a target

In our main topic, we're going to talk about EBT cards and what is happening with them. We also learn that there's a lawsuit to get states to actually do something if something goes wrong. You'll understand why as the discussion is done. Here are the articles:

We thank each and every one of you for listening, participating and most of all, reading the blog. Without your participation and listenership, this program wouldn't be what I'm trying to make it.

Remember to check out email host security which is a site that'll help you navigate the Phishing landscape. This site is sponsored by the Jared Rimer Network and I hope people will learn what it is about, check out the companies and resources and of course the terms.

On TSB 121, we're going to talk about whether it is a good idea to be using various services like 4sqare, facebook and other check in services to check in to places and post to social media. This started after someone complained on Facebook about how the auto checkin broke, and how they wanted to have it work so their friends on the other side of the world can be confident he made it OK. We'll also have news, notes and conversation about other things that people want to talk about as well. Thanks so much for listening!

Asshole of the podcast
