Jared's Technology Podcast Network

Hello everyone, welcome to the Security bbox, podcast 103.

With only one week missed due to commitments, we've reached the two year anniversary of this program on the mix. I hope that we can continue to provide plenty of material as this community still needs to learn what is out there to protect themselves. Nobody is perfect, even yours truly has made mistakes. The question is, do you learn from yours?

As we reflect, podcast 52 which was on July 14th of last year, delbt with the water hacks which could have done some serious damage. While we overcame that and learned from that, we've got a bigger issue and that has been the war that Russia has been involved with as Ukraine was its first target and now they're going ahead and targeting other nations. We talked about this war and its potential impacts on this very program and other rooms on Clubhouse. Now, some of what you might see and discussed on this and other circles will be coming true as predicted. No expert said when it would happen and if, but it seems that it is.

With that said, today's main topic is going to cover two articles and one man.

The first article is titled Meet the Administrators of the RSOCKS Proxy Botnet which was quite a read if I should say so myself. The second one even gets more interesting. Its titled The Link Between AWM Proxy & the Glupteba Botnet and maybe you'll have comments on this.

Besides that, we'll have other topics that may not be listed here in our notes, like for example, things that caught people's eye from our list and or blog.

I hope that you enjoy the program as much as the JRN and its participants enjoy bringing it to you. Remember, we can learn together.

Thanks so much for listening, reading, and participating! Keep learning!

Hello everyone! Welcome to podcast 102 of the podcast. On this edition of the podcast, we'll step through one of the best emails I've ever seen. I saw this at the end of June, and it woke me right up. It is the best email that would prompt an issue that may not be the case, if you actually stop, look and do your due dilligance. blog post

As our topic, we're going to talk about the Cyberscoop article Lawmakers want to restrict user data sales to nations like China, Russia which was read. The article will end up getting blogged, so check the blog for thoughts on this one.

We'll also see what else comes up in the landscape that people want to talk about as well. Hope you enjoy the program!

Welcome to podcast 101 of the Security Box Podcast series. On this podcast, we did find another "Asshole of the podcast" award. We also are going to talk about Google finding something very interesting in their research department.

Asshole of the Week

This time, our Asshole comes from an article by Brian Krebs of Krebs on Security titled “Downthem” DDoS-for-Hire Boss Gets 2 Years in Prison which was quite interesting. Wondering why only two years when DDOS is quite significant and can cause a lot of headaches among what's going on and how to fix it?

Google

This time, Google reveals sophisticated Italian spyware campaign targeting victims in Italy, Kazakhstan comes from Cyberscoop. Found this article quite interesting, and I bet you do too.

Besides that, we'll see what the people on the Clubhouse have to say as well as possibly other things that might not be blogged or sent to the list.

Thanks for listening to the show, and we'll see you on another edition!

Welcome to podcast 100 of the Security Box. I can't believe this series is already at 100, and its been growing strong with lots of discussion, and of course comments on things that people have found of interest.

I hope that the show can continue to grow, and with partners in the industry, we will continue to bring you things that might not be covered elsewhere in much detail if any.

Today, we're going to bring the bonehead award, with an article we'll summarize in a segment called interestingly, the "asshole award of the podcast." For this podcast, the article U.S. marshal used controversial cell phone location service to illegally access data, DOJ says from Cyberscoop. The Marshall definitely needs this award, and you never know who will be next. Don't abuse the privelage of the access you're granted to do your job or you'll possibly get caught.

On this episode as well, we'll cover two different topics. The first, Privacy legislation might provide a powerful guard against online identity fraud might have some teeth if everyone is on board. I definitely think that this should be covered because we talk about the fact that companies have our data with no recourse if something goes wrong.. Maybe that'll change?

In a related note, we've been getting calls from various folks about vehicle warranties, other notices from companies that don't identify themselves and the like. In an article titled INTERPOL raids hundreds of scammy call centers in sweep it talks about how many different people have been picked up due to the number one thing that gets people, social engineering. If you've not read this article, you should. It might be a start to something that hopefully should go down at some point.

Of course, we'll have comments from others who participate in the taping and live broadcast on Wednesdays, and possibly other topics not listed here too.

Thanks for reading, participating, and listening! I greatly appreciate your support.

Welcome to the security box, podcast 99. We're excited to bring you another great show.

First, in our chat section, we're going to talk about KrebsOnSecurity in New Netflix Series on Cybercrime which I've already bookmarked as I signed up for Netflicks. I also watched another movie titled Cyber Hell. (subscription required) Movies and documentaries like these are great to get out in the community, and the Cyber Hell movie I heard of somewhere, probably on clubhouse. There's more including one I talked about some time back, but this will get us started.

If people have things they want us to talk about during other news, we can definitely talk about it.

In our main segment, we're going to talk about Shields Up. No, not GRC's program, no not a submarine shield, but our shield. 'Shields Up': the new normal in cyberspace is our Cyberscoop article.

All this, your thoughts, comments and other things on this week's edition of The Security box. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Security box, podcast 98. This is a bit of a technical difficulty show, starting with Clubhouse having some sort of trouble, and then the software too. Despite these, the show went on.

We had a chat session that talked about social media and Paypal, see the blog for Paypal.

The main topic is Chinese state media propaganda found in 88% of Google, Bing news searches which we step through.

If you have any questions or comments, please reach out. Thanks so much for having an interest in our show, and we'll be back next week!

Hello everyone. Breach Fatigue is probably on everyone's minds, and I think its time that we talk about it. Luckily, there's an article titled Combatting Breach Fatigue comes from Lastpass and I thought it should be talked about.

Even though last week's podcast had some good content and could in some minds be non-security related, between all of that stuff and this, who could blame me for last week?

Besides all of that, we will see what people have for what they want to talk about in the news notes section.

All of this and other thoughts will be part of the program. Enjoy what we have for you and I hope no tyraid today. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to podcast 96 of the security box podcast series. We're going to bring back news notes for this program, and we've picked out some good stuff. Some may be on this blog, other may not be on this blog.

Our main topic is going to talk about the Health Care Industry and whether it is as secure as possible. The reason why we're going to talk about it is plain and simple, there have apparently been two more attacks on the health care industry, yet, one of them is a non-profit.

The article is titled Ransomware group strikes second U.S. health care system in the last two months. I bet that there will be a lot of talk on this one, even as we read the notes on this.

I've got plenty more things lined up for the podcast, so please feel free to stay tuned and learn with us. Some may be a bit older, but yet worth talking about.

Remember to subscribe to The Security Box list as we post items and you're welcome to discuss them on list.

We thank you for listening to the program and we'll see you on another edition of the program next time!

Hello everyone, welcome to the security box, podcast 95. On this program, we're going to talk about one vulnerability that affects big internet appliances at a CVSS score of 9.8.

We'll see what else comes up including some Crypto news and things posted to our list and what type of order it'll all be in.

The main article we'll be covering is titled Hackers are actively exploiting BIG-IP vulnerability with a 9.8 severity rating which comes from Ars Technica..

Ars is probably not going to be the only one covering this, there will be others out there too.

The JRN hopes you enjoy the program, and thanks for listening!

Welcome to podcast 94 of the security box. On this edition of the program, we're going to talk about emergency direct requests (EDR's) as there are now actors out there that will use Fake EDR's for getting what they want.

There are two articles, both which I read.

I read the Krebs article first, and some time later, I found the Cyberscoop article which was quite interesting.

Besides that, we'll be seeing what others have read, although I've been working and not blogging much between podcasts.

I hope that you enjoy the program as much as we are putting it together, and thanks for listening!
