The Q&A returns for August with a variety of topics including pet-related tech mishaps, the contentious multimeter pronunciation debate, arcade boards and Super NES expansion chips, the return of physical keyboard phones, and an accidental grip of AI-related questions about web-scraping statistics, podcasters putting on new vocal identities, cyberattacks on infrastructure, and the growing societal backlash that might (maybe) blunt all this at some point.

I'm probably covering 1% of the world events when we conduct these briefings, so please remember that if I left it out, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's unimportant. Also, remember that I do these briefings quite often, so I might have covered an issue previously that you might not see if you are only watching our most recent videos. I'm also doing this in my spare time, so again I fully admit that these briefings aren't even close to being perfect; I'm going for a healthy blend of speed and quality. If I were to wait and only post a brief when it's "perfect" I would never post anything at all. So expect some minor errors here and there. If there is a major error or correction that needs to be made, I will post it here in the description, and verbally address it in the next briefing. Also, thanks for reading this far.

In this episode, we're diving into the critical world of freight cyber security with my guests from the NMFTA, Joe Ohr and Ben Wilkins! Joe and Ben share the upcoming NMFTA Cybersecurity Conference happening in Long Beach from September 29th through October 1st, which is an invaluable event for anyone serious about protecting their business. Cargo theft in the transportation industry is becoming incredibly sophisticated, with bad actors executing targeted hits on high-value technology shipments that push the average value of stolen freight to over half a million dollars per incident. We break down exactly how these cyber criminals are breaching our systems through social engineering, unauthorized access, and exploiting new hires, emphasizing why we must share both our wins and our losses to harden our defenses across the board. Tune in to get the actionable insights you need to secure your supply chain, combat cyber crime, and keep your customers' freight moving safely!

A cyberattack on Suisun City over the weekend forced the city to shut down its network infrastructure and declare a state of emergency. City hall services remain closed. In March, Foster City also declared a state of emergency after a similar attack. And two weeks ago, seven states across the country reported tampering with local water systems, a cyberattack attributed to Iran.

Cybersecurity in healthcare is no longer an IT issue—it's a patient safety issue. In this episode of Med Tech Gurus, we sit down with Skip Sorrels, Field CTO and Chief Information Security Officer at Claroty, to explore how cyber threats are evolving from data breaches into full-scale clinical and operational disruptions. With a unique background as both an ICU nurse and healthcare cybersecurity leader, Skip brings a rare perspective on what actually happens inside a hospital when systems go down. From electronic medical records shutting off to clinicians reverting to paper processes, these events don't just slow operations—they fundamentally impact patient outcomes. We dive into the growing risks tied to connected medical devices and hospital infrastructure, including operational technologies like HVAC systems, water filtration, and building controls—areas increasingly targeted as the "path of least resistance" for attackers. Skip also shares why healthcare organizations must begin treating cybersecurity like disaster preparedness, focusing on operational resilience, recovery planning, and real-world readiness—not just prevention. For MedTech innovators, this episode delivers a critical message: security is no longer a feature—it's a requirement for trust, adoption, and patient safety. If you're interested in healthcare cybersecurity, medical device security, hospital operations, digital health risk, or MedTech commercialization, this episode offers a powerful and timely perspective on one of the most important challenges facing healthcare today.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) argued that a major political shift is underway in the United States, driven by the growing voting power of millennials, whom she described as a “generational tidal wave” that is increasingly shaping election outcomes. Suisun City, California, declared a state of emergency after a cyberattack forced officials to shut down the city's information technology network. The city is located in Solano County, about 55 miles northeast of San Francisco.

Iran just told Trump: reopen Hormuz on our terms, or it stays shut forever. Who's actually calling the shots?Mark Zuckerberg published a 6,500-word AI manifesto today that doesn't beg government to save the world from his own product — a first for Silicon Valley. In this episode, Yaron breaks down why that's a genuine breath of fresh air, and the one line buried in it that undercuts the whole thing.Then: Iran believes it holds every card in this war, and it's hard to argue they're wrong. 440.9 kg of 60%-enriched uranium — enough for ten bombs — is unaccounted for. The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. Tehran is studying North Korea's playbook, not Libya's.Plus: hackers just hit water systems in 12 states, Lockheed is blocking Ukraine from building its own Patriot missiles, why Yaron actually likes video gamers running air traffic control towers, and a live audience Q&A on values, justice, and how to actually think straight in a chaotic world.⏱ Timestamps0:00 — Weekend recap + Friday's Odyssey review2:20 — Does Tucker run in 2028, or does he back JD Vance?4:55 — Zuckerberg's AI manifesto: the good, the bad, and the government-sized hole in it29:51 — "Iran has all the cards, Trump has none" — how did we get here?50:08 — The two things that actually matter for US national security right now56:49 — America's munitions crisis: can we even fight the next war?1:05:06 — Gaza's stalemate and why Netanyahu has to go1:07:42 — Cyberattacks hit water systems in 12 states — is Iran behind it?1:07:50 — The economy nobody trusts: Americans are traveling more than ever1:22:48 — Gamers are now running air traffic control.

Over the past week, a growing number of municipalities across the United States have reported that their water systems were hacked. The Times has found that the attacks were most likely perpetrated by Iran. Today, Dustin Volz, a cybersecurity and intelligence correspondent for The New York Times, explains how the hacking exposes yearslong failed efforts to shore up vulnerabilities in U.S. infrastructure, and how Iran may be seeking a new kind of leverage that could extend the war's reach to within U.S. borders and affect something as elemental as the water we drink. Guest: Dustin Volz, a cybersecurity and intelligence correspondent for The New York Times. Background reading: Federal and state officials are racing to address an assault on the nation's water supply. Cyberattacks on water systems nationwide that affected Michigan and Minnesota also included at least five more states. Evidence points to Iranian involvement.

Joel De La Garza is joined by Dylan Ayrey, co-founder and CEO of Truffle Security, and Feross Aboukhadijeh, founder and CEO of Socket, to discuss one of the biggest shifts happening in cybersecurity: AI models are no longer just finding vulnerabilities—they're exploiting them. As frontier models become increasingly capable of hacking, software security, supply chain attacks, and cyber defense are entering a fundamentally new era. The conversation explores AI-powered hacking, software supply chain attacks, leaked credentials, zero-day vulnerabilities, package manager security, and why the path of least resistance for increasingly autonomous AI systems may also be the most dangerous. They also discuss what enterprises, developers, and the open-source ecosystem need to do to adapt as the gap between vulnerability discovery and exploitation continues to shrink.

What do you do when you create an AI that can find security vulnerabilities in almost everything? As AI exposes vulnerabilities hidden deep within critical systems, organisations face a new challenge: staying ahead of threats that can now be discovered at machine speed.This week, Technology Now explores the changing cyber security landscape as AI transforms how vulnerabilities are found, fixed, and exploited, forcing organisations to rethink how they manage risk. Jon Green, CTO HPE Networking, joins us to help explain: How AI can be used to pen test new software before releaseHow AI could fundamentally change the way organisations patch and upgrade technology Why critical infrastructure is particularly vulnerable to these types of attacksWhether we could be heading towards a future where software is completely vulnerability free

On Thursday, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued an alert about potential cyber threats to water systems after approximately 36 sites in Minnesota reported cyberattacks. Then, on Saturday, Michigan reported cyberattacks on nine water systems; both states say their water supplies are not actively threatened. Separately, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said that attacks have been reported in at least seven states. Federal authorities are investigating the source of the threat, which U.S. investigators believe bears the hallmarks of cyberterrorist groups linked to Iran.Ad-free podcasts are here!Get 20% off your first year of ad-free episodes, exclusive interviews, and deep dives with Tangle's podcast membership!Following up on wildfires.Two weeks ago, Managing Editor Ari Weitzman wrote a take on the Canadian wildfires, arguing that climate change was the lead driver of the increased fires but that Canada could still do more to mitigate them.

The city plans to clear the encampment in Pig's Eye Park Wednesday evening.The city will hold a special public hearing at noon Tuesday to continue hearing from constituents. The plan has faced fierce opposition. City leaders say the closure is needed after an increase in emergency calls to the encampment.Minnesota water systems have blocked multiple hacking attempts since a cyberattack last week. That attack temporarily took some local water systems offline and prompted officials to review their cybersecurity measures. Minnesota was one of seven states that reported attacks on water systems. Officials have not identified who was behind it, but the New York Times reports investigators suspect Iran.Minneapolis Community Safety Commissioner Todd Barnette has agreed to continue to serve in his post until the end of the year as the city searches for his replacement. Barnette has served for one three-year term as commissioner for the office of community safety, which was created in 2022 and oversees police, fire and neighborhood safety.Mayor Jacob Frey nominated Barnette to a second term this spring, but the Minneapolis City Council twice rejected his nomination.

Seven states. That's how many have now reported cyber attacks targeting America's water systems. And almost on cue, the media is already pointing the finger at Iran. I'm not buying it. Today on Stinchfield, I'll explain why I believe the rush to blame Iran looks more like propaganda than proof. At a time when President Trump is taking a hard line against the Iranian regime, blaming Tehran for every cyber incident conveniently fuels an anti-Trump political narrative. Make Trump look bad. This is why I believe there is a greater possibility that radical left-wing hackers, operating here in the United States, could be responsible. Another possibility might be even more alarming: an artificial intelligence system has gone rouge and is acting outside its intended control. We don't know yet. But what we do know is that Americans deserve evidence, not politically convenient conclusions. We'll separate facts from assumptions and ask the questions too many in the media won't.

After months of negotiations broke down, New York State filed a lawsuit against prediction market Kalshi. Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour responds to the allegations that his platform is “quintessentially gambling” and that it seeks to avoid paying the appropriate taxes. Then, Adam Isles, head of cybersecurity for the Chertoff Group, discusses the cyberattacks on water systems across seven U.S. states. He considers the likelihood that Iran is behind the attacks, as well as how vulnerable Americans are to attacks with the newest forms of technology. Plus, the U.S. is intervening to prop up the Japanese yen, and it's a busy summer at the box office, with The Odyssey extending its time in theaters to meet demand for 70mm screenings.

When organizations review their cybersecurity posture, printers are rarely the first systems that come to mind. Yet they often account for around 20% of network endpoints while receiving, storing, processing, and transmitting sensitive business information every day. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I welcome back Jim LaRoe, CEO of Symphion, to discuss why printers and other connected IoT devices have become one of the most overlooked areas of enterprise cybersecurity and why AI-powered attacks are raising the stakes for organizations that continue to ignore them. Jim explains how many businesses continue to treat printers as simple office equipment rather than Linux-based network devices with privileged access to email systems, file servers, identity services, and critical business workflows. Because responsibility for these devices often sits between procurement, managed print providers, IT operations, and security teams, they can easily fall outside normal cybersecurity processes. We discuss how the threat landscape has changed over the past year as AI enables attackers to automate reconnaissance, credential theft, lateral movement, and ransomware deployment. Jim explains why organizations adopting Zero Trust principles also need to rethink how they secure and manage connected endpoints that have traditionally been overlooked. The conversation also explores certificate lifecycle management, cyber hygiene, firmware management, endpoint visibility, and why unsupported devices can introduce unnecessary risk into modern enterprise environments. For organizations managing hundreds or even thousands of printers across multiple locations, Jim explains why protecting these endpoints does not need to create additional operational burden. Instead, security should become an ongoing operational program that continuously monitors devices, detects configuration drift, applies security controls, and helps organizations maintain compliance without disrupting critical business workflows. We also discuss the governance challenge many organizations face. Before companies can reduce risk, someone needs to own it. That means establishing accountability, assigning budget, understanding which devices exist across the business, and recognizing that printers and IoT devices deserve the same attention as servers, laptops, and other managed endpoints. If you're responsible for cybersecurity, IT infrastructure, risk management, or digital transformation, this episode offers practical advice on protecting forgotten endpoints, strengthening Zero Trust strategies, improving endpoint visibility, and reducing the hidden risks that AI-powered attackers are increasingly looking to exploit. Sometimes the biggest cybersecurity vulnerability isn't the system you forgot to patch. It's the one you forgot was connected in the first place.
