Description:

Cisco's routers just exposed more than two million networks thanks to a "security optional" SNMP setup that's being actively exploited—Steve and Leo break down why this is a worst-case scenario for the industry and how easily it could have been avoided.

  • Gmail's spam filtering false-positive spree.
  • iOS 26's Safari randomizes its fingerprint by default.
  • Cisco's SNMP stands for "Security Not My Problem".
  • Windows' "stuck" Extended Security Updates (ESU).
  • Europe complains, gets 1-year of ESU with no strings.
  • Where to get $6 TLS certs (really) while they last.
  • The lessons to learn from Jaguar Land Rover's mess.
  • The NEON app: get paid to have your voice recorded.
  • Bluesky's age verification, now coming to Ohio.
  • What is "Kids Web Services" for age verification.
  • More than 10K Ollama instances publicly exposed.
  • GRC's DNS Benchmark reaches "release candidate"
