Episode 176
This week the update gets dialed in:  First via a new spy tool called Patternz then via a photo contest where we share who rates what in the race at the top.
From there we have an update on the “Mother of all breaches”  a newly surfaced collection of over 26 Billion records for you to wonder if you are part of.

It’s onto the the US’ efforts to thwart Chinese hacking within critical US infrastructure before we read  a letter from a US senator to the NSA asking why they are buying up phone data on US Citizens.
Then there is an update about Chat GPT placing random private conversations (including PII) in one users conversation list.
Britain gives us a timeline for the development of AI ransomware and Russia goes dark.  


This week’s update might have you reminiscing about the physical security of an old payphone, but we’ll  get you reconnected.
