Current and former tech workers with the No Azure for Apartheid coalition continue to disrupt business as usual at Microsoft's global headquarters in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide, and in protest of Microsoft's contracts with the Israeli military to provide tech that Israel uses to surveil, kill, and retroactively justify the killing of Palestinians. In this episode of Working People, which is a critical follow-up to our last episode, we speak with a panel of five tech workers and No Azure for Apartheid coalition members who have all been fired by Microsoft in the past year in response to their protest actions: Anna Hattle, Joe Lopez, Hossam Nasr, Nisreen Jaradat, and Riki. Even after losing their jobs, however, these workers have vowed not to stop organizing and protesting until Microsoft meets their demands to “fully and perpetually divests from Israel's economy of occupation, apartheid, and genocide.”For full show notes and episode transcript, click here.Credits:Audio Post-Production: Jules TaylorHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

The Pentagon has officially mandated the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) for defense contracts, transitioning from a policy framework to enforceable requirements. This regulation, set to take effect on November 10, 2025, requires contractors to meet specific cybersecurity benchmarks based on the sensitivity of the information they handle. With three certification levels, the CMMC aims to ensure that defense-focused providers adhere to stringent cybersecurity standards. This shift presents both opportunities and challenges for managed service providers (MSPs), as some small and medium-sized businesses may opt out of defense contracts due to compliance costs.In a significant development, researchers from New York University have demonstrated the feasibility of AI-powered ransomware, dubbed Ransomware 3.0. This proof-of-concept malware utilizes advanced large-language models to create targeted attacks, making it more difficult to detect and defend against. The incident underscores the growing trend of cybercriminals leveraging AI tools, raising concerns about the potential for real-world applications of such technology. Meanwhile, Microsoft has made multi-factor authentication (MFA) mandatory for Azure portal sign-ins, aiming to enhance cybersecurity and reduce account compromise risks.The podcast also highlights KnowBefore's new white paper on human risk management in cybersecurity, emphasizing a people-centric approach to bolster security culture. Additionally, Secret Double Octopus has launched a program to help MSPs eliminate passwords entirely, moving beyond traditional MFA solutions. Ignite has introduced AI agents tailored for the architecture, engineering, and construction sectors, streamlining documentation tasks and reducing project risks. Sentinel-1's acquisition of Observo AI aims to enhance security operations by improving data management capabilities.Apple recently unveiled updates to its operating systems and new hardware, including the iPhone 17, which features significant security enhancements like Memory Integrity Enforcement. The company is shifting to a year-based version numbering system for its OS updates, aiming for consistency across its ecosystem. While Apple introduced exciting new features, concerns linger about its AI capabilities compared to competitors like Google and Samsung. The podcast concludes by emphasizing the importance of security improvements and the potential support challenges that IT leaders may face as clients compare Apple devices with Android alternatives.

Apple's so-called ‘Awe dropping' event is tomorrow and the company is all but certain to unveil the iPhone 17 line. The keynote will be livestreamed on YouTube Tuesday at 1PM ET from Cupertino. Three Engadget team members will be reporting, liveblogging and providing their hands-on impressions from Apple Park. Also, Microsoft said its Azure cloud platform has returned to normal service after an incident of cut underwater cables that played out over Saturday. The tech giant reported "undersea fiber cuts" in the Red Sea on Saturday morning, which disrupted Azure service throughout the Middle East and led to potential "increased latency" for users. Microsoft said that the latency issue was resolved by Saturday evening and was able to reroute the Azure traffic through other paths. And for most Hollow Knight: Silksong players, the combat is challenging and the boss fights are punishing.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana, Chika, and Ravengriim discuss episodes one through three of Nina the Starry Bride! In episode four, Nina and Azure's feelings for one another deepen. In order to protect him, Nina decides to leave for Galgada to fulfill her duty and become their queen. In episode five, Nina arrives in Bastia and tries to win over the cruel Prince Set. Things escalate as Nina defends Anne, who works for Prince Set, for “stealing” when an aggressive guard captain accuses her, and Prince Set slices Nina across the chest. Despite the dreariness of her circumstances, Nina chooses to smile and steel her resolve. In episode six, Nina wins over the staff in Bastia by putting the aggressive guard captain in his place while Prince Set is absent. The prince unexpectedly kisses Nina despite being hostile towards her thus far. Later, Nina's carriage falls off of a cliff, but luckily she and Set's bird, also named Nina, survive.Grab your spoon, and let's dig in!Follow our wonderful guest, Ravengriim!http://youtube.com/dakotaalexandra https://www.tiktok.com/@ravengriim http://instagram.com/ravengriim This episode's audio was edited by PJ of Kawaii Desuppointment!https://beacons.ai/kawaiidesupod EPISODE 4[0:47] About Ravengriim[10:18] Soft Serve Summary[10:54] Sprinkles on Top[13:41] Floats Your Boat[19:53] Banana Split[25:02] Rocky Road[28:38] Nuts[33:07] Hot Fudge[33:54] I Scream, You Scream[36:31] Cherry on TopEPISODE 5[37:35] Soft Serve Summary[37:47] Sprinkles on Top[39:43] Floats Your Boat[43:26] Banana Split[47:57] Rocky Road[48:09] Nuts[49:31] Hot Fudge[52:55] I Scream, You Scream[56:14] Cherry on TopEPISODE 6[57:02] Soft Serve Summary[57:29] Sprinkles on Top[58:28] Floats Your Boat[1:03:01] Banana Split[1:04:31] Rocky Road[1:07:53] Nuts[1:08:41] Hot Fudge[1:09:11] I Scream, You Scream[1:11:55] Cherry on TopAbout Shoujo Sundae:Shoujo Sundae is a podcast safe haven for fans that are in love with shoujo anime and manga.

Tech workers at the heart of Microsoft are waging one of the most significant and undercovered labor battles in the US right now. For the last two weeks, members of the No Azure for Apartheid coalition, including current and former tech workers at Microsoft and community allies, have been taking bold, continuing, and escalating actions to disrupt business as usual in solidarity with Palestinians facing genocide and in protest of Microsoft's contracts with the Israeli military to provide tech that Israel uses to surveil, kill, and retroactively justify the killing of Palestinians. Those actions have included establishing a “liberated zone” encampment and even occupying executives' offices at Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, WA. In this on-the-ground episode of Working People, recorded at Microsoft headquarters on Aug. 19-20, we take you to the front lines of the No Azure for Apartheid struggle.For full show notes and episode transcript, click here.Credits:Studio Production: Maximillian AlvarezAudio Post-Production: Jules TaylorHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Interview with Dave Lewis on Security's Role in M&A Due Diligence In this episode, Dave Lewis from 1Password discusses the critical importance of security in mergers and acquisitions, from due diligence through integration. He explores common pitfalls, essential security assessments, and practical strategies for security leaders to protect organizational value throughout the M&A process. Topic: The Challenge of Breach Transparency Every industry concerned with safety has a process for publishing the details of accidents, incidents, and failures. Cybersecurity has yet to reach this milestone, and hiding the details of failures is holding us back. This talk will argue for the need for breach details to go public, and share strategies for finding and using some little-known sources of detailed breach data.

General News 01:02 AOL is finally shutting down its dial-up internet service | AP News AOL is discontinuing its dial-up internet service on September 30, 2024, marking the end of a technology that introduced millions to the internet in the 1990s and early 2000s. Census data shows 163,401 US households still used dial-up in 2023, representing 0.13% of homes with internet subscriptions, highlighting the persistence of legacy infrastructure in underserved areas – which is honestly crazy. Here's hoping that these folks are able to switch to alternatives, like Starlink. This shutdown reflects broader technology lifecycle patterns as companies retire legacy services like Skype, Internet Explorer, and AOL Instant Messenger to focus resources on modern platforms. The transition away from dial-up demonstrates the evolution from telephone-based connectivity to broadband and wireless technologies that now dominate internet access. AOL’s journey from a $164 billion valuation in 2000 to being sold by Verizon in 2021 illustrates the rapid shifts in technology markets and the challenges of ada
I remember the court case years ago when the US government wanted to access data in Azure that was physically stored in Ireland. I wrote lightly about this and linked to the article back in 2020. This has typically been more of a concern for the EU (and other countries) than the US, but I'm sure there are organizations in the US that use the cloud and don't want their data accessed by other countries' governments. Recently, a Microsoft executive was asked about this in the French Senate. The Microsoft response was that they (Microsoft) cannot guarantee data sovereignty for French customers. If the US government served a warrant under the Cloud Act, a US corporation would have to turn over the data. Read the rest of Data Sovereignty in the Cloud

Send us a textWhat happens when three major cloud providers each reimagine network design from scratch? You get three completely different approaches to solving the same fundamental problem.The foundation of cloud networking begins with the virtual containers that hold your resources: AWS's Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), Azure's Virtual Networks (VNets), and Google Cloud's VPCs (yes, the same name, very different implementation). While they all serve the same basic purpose—providing logical isolation for your workloads—their design philosophies reveal profound differences in how each provider expects you to architect your solutions.AWS took the explicit control approach. When you create subnets within an AWS VPC, you must assign each to a specific Availability Zone. This creates a vertical architecture pattern where you're deliberately placing resources in specific physical locations and designing resilience across those boundaries. Network engineers often find this intuitive because it matches traditional fault domain thinking. However, this design means you must account for cross-AZ data transfer costs and explicit resiliency patterns.Azure flipped the script with their horizontal approach. By default, subnets span across all AZs in a region, with Microsoft's automation handling the resilience for you. This "let us handle the complexity" philosophy makes initial deployment simpler but provides less granular control. Meanwhile, Google Cloud went global, allowing a single VPC to span regions worldwide—an approach that simplifies global connectivity but introduces new challenges for security segmentation.These architectural differences aren't merely academic—they fundamentally change how you design for resilience, manage costs, and implement security. The cloud introduced "toll booth" pricing for data movement, where crossing availability zones or regions incurs charges that didn't exist in traditional data centers. Understanding these nuances is crucial whether you're migrating existing networks or designing new ones.Want to dive deeper into cloud networking concepts? Let us know what topics you'd like us to cover next as we explore how traditional networking skills translate to the cloud world.Purchase Chris and Tim's new book on AWS Cloud Networking: https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Advanced-Networking-Certification-certification/dp/1835080839/ Check out the Fortnightly Cloud Networking Newshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1fkBWCGwXDUX9OfZ9_MvSVup8tJJzJeqrauaE6VPT2b0/Visit our website and subscribe: https://www.cables2clouds.com/Follow us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/cables2clouds.comFollow us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cables2clouds/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cables2cloudsMerch Store: https://store.cables2clouds.com/Join the Discord Study group: https://artofneteng.com/iaatj
