This podcast network will have my main tech program when something comes out which is not security related. Sans News Bites, The Security Box, and other tech nuggets will also be here too. Some adult language may be possible in content, and a disclaimer plays on TSB as its a show on the mix. Enjoy!

Welcome to TSB, episode 265. The Trivia Question this time is:Let’s get this Monday moving, Jared. You know how sometimes a name change can make everything feel new? Like when The Artist Formerly Known as Prince became a symbol, or when Dunkin’ ditched “Donuts” and got all minimalist on us. Well, Mark Zuckerberg had a major rebrand moment, too, swapping out “Facebook” for “Meta” to match his metaverse vision. But in doing so, he triggered an awkward translation situation. Meta, in Hebrew, means what? A) Chaos, B) Nightmare, C) Dead or D) Broken. The answer is chilling at the end. Please feel free to call and leave your guess at (888) 405-7524 and give us your name or name you want to go by as well as your guess. Since we've been gone, we're trying to catch up the blog with podcast announcements with full length show notes of past programs including Sans and TSB.Also, as we announced, we're going to change this show to every two weeks. We're doing this because this will give us more time to find something to talk about, but yet we won't feel burned out. Here are things we might talk about during this open edition of the program. Here we go … another click fix attack Update on Crypto Currency thefts and an old breach Covenant Health is covered in recent breaches of the week The Stupid fucks of the year Diatribes of 2025 Disney to pay a pretty penny for Coppa violations Health breaches and denmark goes digital? 6 ransomware strains decrypted, hundreds detained

Hello folks, welcome to another Sans episode with Jared Rimer.Today, we have Ouch, the newsletter for January 2026. In it, it talks about technical support scams. I've even heard some discussion on other podcasts including Scam Squad, so this means that they're back with a vengeance. The problem is, they don't use the same tactics, techniques and procedures they used to. While the example herein is a popup from a website, it may arrive in an unsolicited text message, or even on social media. I don't think it has hit social media yet, but it could go there, so just be on the lookout.We have headings that are within the newsletter. They include: How a “Helpful” Call Turned Costly What Are Tech Support Scams? What Are They After? How These Scams Work How to Protect Yourself Final Thoughts Each section listed above has something for you, and of course the newsletter is now part of San's podcast series. Here are other links you'll need. Here is a link to the Ouch Podcast on Sans Institute's web site Fake Tech Support: The Only Thing They’re Fixing Is Your Bank Account written by Jennifer Cox Thanks so much for listening, and make it a great day!

Incogni claims that it can remove your personal info. How? We'll talk about it with an article that talked about them and I'll talk about where the JRN first heard of this valuable service. We'll also talk about the news, any notes, we've got corrections to xposedornot.com and the work I'm doing with them as testing is going well, and more. Xposed or not I'm not employed at Xposed, but I found some thing that got fixed. The table as well as tree view of the exposures page not properly giving correct dates, I.E. the table was showing 2023 items while the default view was not quite showing current dated items added to the site. We learn about the news page and its purpose while asking questions. We found a very interesting post about data exposures and their categories. At the time of writing, I don't have a blog post on this yet. Incogni I earlier blogged There are many data brokers, only one company that might help which links to an article titled Your data, their profit: the data brokers you know nothing about goes in to what's going on and who might be able to help. Yes, Incogni might just be the one that might do the job. Step on forward and learn.
