Labor Day Weekend is the most active weekend for criminal crime on the internet, dark web, and hacker's lairs. We have three large comprises, and we talk about Technology in Afghanistan falling into the wrong hands. Air Date: 9/4 - 9/10/21

1 hour 52 minutes

This week on the show, we solve one of Technology's Greatest Mysteries today with a breaking news report at 4:30 PDT. First, WhatsApp faces a $267 million EU fine, and Facebook AI mislabeling a video as "primates" was "unacceptable. Next, we have Tesla cars driving into the police officer, and we have three scary security breaches, one that has Microsoft looking for answers. Finally, we have "Mike's Mesmerizing Moment" brought to us by StoriCoffee® along with our NFT and Whiskey Tastings, all of this on the first hour of the show.

On the Second Hour, we have a "Back to School Part II" segment. We have our Microsoft special "What was Microsoft like back in the 90's" as your host looks back at his time working at Microsoft during 1999. But our main feature this hour is a focused interview with Nic Espinosa from Security Fanatics discussing what happens to a county like Afghanistan in the field of technology when a regime like the Taliban comes in and takes control. What happens to the IT infrastructure, servers, data warehousing, and social media aspects? What about the hardline internet throughout the country?
