Something New Is Tried

Be gentle, this "security briefing" is a new format.

Hi folks, Dave here. I've set up a new short security news briefing format for a weekly update in addition to our main podcast. This is just a test balloon for this week. I plan to get it smoother for next week.

  1. Starting off this week...
  2. News news news...

    3. And if you've got commentary, please sent it to [email protected] for us to check out.

    DISCLAIMER: It's not that explicit, but you may want to use headphones if you're at work.

    ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER: In case it is unclear, this is the story of 5 1 opinionated infosec pros who have sufficient opinions of their own they don't need to speak for anyone except themselves. Ok? Good.
