Hello folks, welcome to program 192 of the security box. This week, its going to be an open forum. We'll cover the news, we'll answer any questions that people have, and we'll traverse the landscape. No major topic, but a big piece of news about an arrest.
News, Notes and the landscape
Incognito
The biggest news coming out of the landscape is incognito's demise for good. the main man was arrested at a New York Airport. If convicted, he's going to spend a lot of time in jail. Each article is written a bit differently, and we want to be fair in our coverage and give you different perspectives.

  • 23-year-old man accused of running $100 million online narcotics marketplace | Ars Technica. Ars Technica
  • AI CSAM
    This blew my mind. I don't know about anyone else, but this was wild. FBI Arrests Man For Generating AI Child Sexual Abuse Imagery comes from 404 media. This will prove that doing something like this, even if you start with other perps will eventually get you in trouble.
    An Arrest out of Arizona
    Arizona woman arrested and charged in North Korean IT worker scheme comes to us from Cyberscoop. She was not alone, there's another suspect mentioned and it goes in to details on who gets what if convicted.

    • Our Things to ponder segment
      It seems as though Better Help is more in trouble than we thought. Besides the potential breaches, we spotted a video that talks about all kinds of stuff. Its 16 minutes, but I feel that this is of value. This is the link to the Youtube Video that we linked to from our blog post. If you want to see it, you may. This came from the mastodon account, Today I learned. Also read: Better help shares data to facebook as this is mentioned in the video.
      Our complete moron of the podcast
      This has to be the moron of the podcast. While you can carry around cards like drivers licenses digitlly, this guy who is named in the article did not. He also either stopped after starting a chase, or the owner was able through the app to stop the truck. Besides theft, the suspect has no license at all. Nice going!
