The Security Box, podcast 142: The New U.S. Cybersecurity Strategy highlights


Listen Later

This show has sections of strong language, but not a lot. The disclaimer is in there just in case, but it is not much in the wake of strong language.



Welcome to the Security box. This is program number 142 of the series and this time, we've got a topic which hasn't been covered before at least on our podcast. The topic covers a very interesting endeavor by the government to deal with Cybersecurity. Besides this, we'll see who gets a moron, we'll cover the landscape, and we'll see what else is of value. Hope you enjoy the program!


Morons of the podcast


One may not completely be a moron, but it qualifies as a group not just what the first item covers. The second, however, you'll just have to read to believe.


1. I'll put this one as a moron, but I really don't understand what seems to be going on over at schools lately. Its ok to keep information on children that have nothing to do with you giving them an education, and that information may include behavioral issues, SSN's and more.

blog post


Brian Krebs boosted (retweeted) the following to his followers. Note that my blog post has the linked article, so I'm not going to link it within this section. It says:


Doug Levin: NBC: Students’ psychological reports, abuse allegations leaked by ransomware hackers https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/students-psychological-reports-abuse-allegations-leaked-ransomware-hac-rcna79414 #edtech #databreach @brett via @kevincollier



2. Our second moron is more of the moron than the first, but here's a blog post titled T-Mobile, do you still want me as a customer? I don’t think so! which has the latest on what they have been up to. It links to yet another article, talking about yet another breach. Should we be surprised in this industry?



Topic: Highlights from the New U.S. Strategy


This is a Krebs on Security article that we're taking from. He was tooting (tweeting) about this on Mastodon.


The article is titled Highlights from the New U.S. Cybersecurity Strategy and it was interesting. I wonder what will eventually happen with this? Haven't seen anything since this article was written, but maybe they're working on it and we'll see something soon. Only time will tell.
