This week we start down the road of your data collection and discover ways and places it’s being shared that you might never have suspected.

Next, we learn who’s included in the hubbub about ransomware and what the ransomware baddies are doing to build greater efficiencies into their exploits.

From there we move on to companies with more leaks than a wicker canoe, a submarine screendoor, or a porcupine’s raincoat.

We have a great story about how one company has finally made it to the top, and how sometimes it’s not as great as it’s made out to be.

We end with a warm and cuddly way to go invisible and perhaps the perfect holiday gift for those in the Northern hemisphere.

Layer up and let’s go have an adventure!

Allegations of TikTok’s Chinese monitor, e-mail proof that Parler shares monikers while France fines an unrepentant photograph chronicler.

We have programming language standings, new Australian fines landing and the malware that Qatar is demanding.

And if that bad rap came through clear, we promise it only gets better from here.

This week we start in the air and end in the air, with not a care while we are there.

We have Shein getting the boot, hackers for hire facing a suit, a duck update for your next reboot and new AI that identifies a woodland hoot.

So put away that squirrel suit, don’t head for the roof, you’re safe with this update, and here is the proof!

James Bond, Mata Hari, and Papa John?

This week we look into what today’s liars and spies are up to; from fishing to card sharks, wiretaps to deauthers, stolen keys to firewall upgrades.

And in the face of that, we are presented with an Operating System that is bundling higher security and application updates and … supporting it all for 10 years. Publicity stunt? Maybe, but it got our attention!

Finally if clutching your wallet and your phone as you hit that last 76-meter drop on Tarragona Spain’s “Shambhala” roller coaster, you notice the emergency medical services waiting at the bottom, it may have less to do with the person next to you who blacked out and more to do with your latest toy.

Mata Hari’s got nothing on you. Quick, jump into the Aston Martin, and let’s roll!

This week we start out fine but falter somewhat when we hear how many healthcare facilities have been breached in the first six months of 2022.

Spirits lift with an Uber joke and the reassurance that if you lose your phone but are one of ten thousand lucky travelers across, around, and near, US borders each year, Uncle Sam might just have a full backup of it.

We hear how one guy who ran a farm has become a victim to hackers, and this time we hope he suffers a good crop rotation.

There is a new data protection bill from the world’s fourth largest country… And we’re betting you can’t guess its name.

Finally, we end with why that long commute to planet WASP-39b might not be such a good idea after all.

You want it? We got it. Come get it! Oh, and then there is Brad.
