367: Temu App is Spyware?! (Plus, More Nintendo Lawsuits!)
Gamers rejoice: we've got news on Xbox, Nintendo, and Apple retro game emulators on this week's Technado! In some of our biggest stories this week, there's a new Google Chrome 0-day, Temu's getting sued, and millions of OpenSSH servers may be vulnerable to an attack. We also cover PortSwigger's very first outside investment, a biometric MFA token that doubles as a ring, and Grasshopper: a group of hackers...or pentesters...or hackers pretending to be pentesters. In other news, an Australian man was caught red-handed harvesting credentials while on a flight (yes, DURING the flight), Kadokawa Group got hit with a ransomeware attack, and Sophie and Daniel have some strong opinions on AI-generated commentator Al Michaels.

366: Julian Assange Released?! (Plus, Biden Bans Kaspersky!)
This week on Technado, we've got breaking news: there's a new MOVEit bug, Apple released a firmware update for AirPods, and we've got robot skin to fuel your nightmares. In one of this week's biggest stories, Julian Assange has been released and is homeward bound. SolarWinds is back in the headlines, this time with an exploited Serv-U bug. Apple, Microsoft, and several other big tech companies are in hot water for violating the EU's Digital Markets Act. Hackers are using a Windows XXS flaw to execute arbitrary commands. And to wrap the first half of the show, we take a look at the alleged breach of the US Federal Reserve and the group that's supposedly behind it. After the break, it's time for Deja News: NVIDIA's short-lived time at the top has come to an end as they suffer the biggest short-term loss in history. We may finally have an answer to the Apple-Kaspersky debacle: the Biden administration has banned the software in the US and sanctioned a dozen Kaspersky execs. Then, Google's Project Naptime is using AI to let engineers take more siestas. The ever-litigious Nintendo has officially shut down Yuzu and Citra, two big Nintendo emulators. And the CDK hack affecting car dealerships nationwide is still ongoing - and recovery may take years. Like what you heard?

365: Windows Wi-Fi Takeover Attack! (Update NOW!)
This week's Technado starts strong with some breaking news: Nvidia has surpassed Apple and Microsoft to become the most valuable company in the world! Of course, we had to talk about Nintendo Direct, and we even took a look at the upcoming Spaceballs sequel. After our breaking news segment, Daniel warns us of a Wi-Fi takeover attack affecting Windows Users. Then, the feds are suing Adobe for some sneaky cancellation fees that are costing users hundreds. CISA conducted its first AI IR tabletop exercise, and we take a look at not one, not two, but THREE cybercriminals in Behind Bars. Following a quick break, we take a look at a bug that lets users spoof MS security team emails. Then, it's patches on patches on patches: VMWare fixed some RCE and privesc bugs, ASUS corrected a critical auth bypass flaw, and Apple dealt with their very first visionOS-exclusive vulnerability. To wrap up the show, Daniel and Sophie learn about a new mandatory program at First Horizon Bank that forces stressed employees to stop work and...look at family pictures.
