Bottom Line I.T. with Mike Maddox and Erik Jacobsen

RECORDED at ASK

May 7 and May 14, 2019

Segment 1

The Internet Couldn't Handle All the Data From the First Black Hole Photo

https://www.inverse.com/article/54833-m87-black-hole-photo-data-storage-feat

Remember that one time when a company tried to upload images so big it broke the internet? Well, it didn’t really break the internet, but the image was so big that the internet literally couldn’t handle it. So how big was it really? Eight telescopes were placed on 5 continents to take a picture of a black hole, of which was 5 petabytes. How big is 5 petabytes? It is equivalent to 5,000 years of MP3 files, or half a ton of hard drives. Like technology or not, it’s really hard to deny that something of this magnitude is not mind blowing.

Segment 2

Kaspersky: 70 percent of attacks now target Office vulnerabilities

https://www.zdnet.com/article/kaspersky-70-percent-of-attacks-now-target-office-vulnerabilities/

There are misconceptions that Microsoft has all the ducks in a row and that once you have Office you’ll have smooth sailing (maybe there is some sarcasm in that statement…). All jokes aside, there truly is a misconception that Microsoft has all the bells and whistles in place to make sure your data is backed up, secure and always available in the cloud. Listen, we love Microsoft and are avid users of Microsoft 365 and other applications, but it’s not always bundled in a pretty bow ready to go. There are vulnerabilities and weaknesses – some are in the works of being fixed. But what about those that aren’t? Making sure your applications are updated is a basic task that is often overlooked, and if not done, is one of the biggest risks your company runs.

Segment 3

Hackers publish personal data on thousands of US police officers and federal agents

https://techcrunch.com/2019/04/12/police-data-hack/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Goodness. Just when we thought data breaches couldn’t get any worse, the FBI was breached. This time it was pretty good too. Any by pretty good – we mean pretty bad. Accordingly, to a TechCrunch article, a hacker group breached a number of different FBI websites and uploaded their data to the web. About 4,000 unique records were exposed including personal and government email addresses, postal addresses, phone numbers and job titles.
