ETH Zurich's deep-dive into the world's top password managers exposes how feature overload and legacy design obscure real security flaws, forcing a rethink of what "zero knowledge" actually means for your vault. Learn why recent fixes matter—and why open source may be your safest bet. CA's warn us to urgently prepare for the inevitable. Three U.S. states attempt to ban 3D printed firearms. Denied ransom, ShinyHunters leaks 967,000 personal details. "Billions" of U.S. social security numbers leaked. Is Apple planning to add cameras to three new gadgets. No more security fixes for Firefox on Windows 7 & 8. Russia blocks the official Linux kernel site they need. Will the U.S."freedom.gov" site post EU blocked content. LLM's will offer secure passwords. Do Not Use Them. As predicted, the "ClickFix" attack strategy takes over. A listener believes his computer is compromised.

From Command to Control: Stories of Digital Dilemmas The hosts discuss Apple Mail email signatures and discover that when a website URL lacks a prefix, Apple Mail defaults it to an insecure http link, which can trigger junk filtering; they also note cases where a displayed https link still points to http behind the scenes. They compare Apple Mail to Outlook in business environments, mention limitations around advanced signature management, and comment on Apple's minimal transparency in service-status outage explanations. They cover Apple's iOS 12 update extending certificates for services like iMessage, FaceTime, and device activation through January 2027, and then shift to opinions and speculation about Tim Cook's political pandering possibly being tied to tariffs and CEO succession timing. Returning to tech, they explain Apple Pay's security benefits—device-specific numbers and unique transaction codes—especially after a client's credit card was repeatedly compromised, and discuss adding additional browser protection via Malwarebytes Browser Guard and Chrome/Safari extension deployment through MDM (Addigy), including using ChatGPT to generate a configuration profile. They also describe using ChatGPT to edit MailChimp newsletter HTML quickly, and explore AI-assisted app development ideas such as an iOS app that converts call logs into calendar entries, referencing a Steven Robles video about building an app with AI while noting potential security pitfalls like exposed credentials. Lgistics issue involving gear ordered for testing via an Amazon locker at Staples. When attempting pickup, the host discovers the locker has no keypad and relies on the Amazon app and NFC. Despite signing into the client's Amazon account and enabling required app permissions (Bluetooth and device access), the locker cannot be accessed. Amazon customer service suggests the order data may be incomplete due to a third-party seller and issues immediate refunds or credits. 00:00 Welcome In: Time, the Clock Tower, and "Running Out of Time" 00:46 Client Referral Follow-Up: When People Go Radio Silent 01:39 Apple Mail Link Gotcha: Why Your Clean URL Becomes HTTP 04:13 Hidden Signature Code: Displayed HTTPS, Actual HTTP (and Spam Filters) 05:45 Why Apple Should Default to HTTPS (Google Already Does) 08:34 Signature Tools & Workflows: WiseStamp, Outlook, and What Clients Actually Use 10:37 Apple Still Updating Old iOS: Certificate Expiration and 2027 Cutoff 11:40 Tim Cook, Politics, and the CEO Succession Theory 15:06 Bully-Pulpit News Cycle: Waiting for the Next Outrage 16:08 Epstein Files & Accountability: Why Consequences Aren't Landing in the U.S. 18:16 From Past Scandals to Today: How the Bar Moved (Back to Tech) 19:00 Merch & Sponsorship Shoutouts (The Command Control Power Mug) 19:47 Apple Services Outages & the Vague Status Page Problem 21:14 Why Apple Pay Is Safer After a Card Gets Compromised 23:40 Dashlane vs Malwarebytes Browser Guard: Phishing/Scam Blocking Extensions 28:19 Layered Web Protection: Safari Safe Browsing, DNS Filtering, and Extension Risks 31:36 ChatGPT for Real Work: Fixing a Mailchimp Newsletter with HTML 33:06 AI-Assisted App Idea: Turn Call Logs into Calendar Entries (and Vibe Coding) 37:59 Security Caveats + Wrap-Up Quip About AI Summaries

This week, our hosts Dave Bittner, Joe Carrigan, and Maria Varmazis (also host of the T-Minus Space Daily show) are sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. In our follow up, our hosts respond to a listener who wrote in with an insightful question about the role of wealth in scam susceptibility. Joe's story covers how a fake AI recruiter lures developers with a GitHub “technical assessment” that, when run, unleashes a five-stage malware chain to steal credentials, wallets, and install persistent backdoors. Maria has the story on a Halloween-themed phishing scam that lured victims with a fake Home Depot giveaway, using obfuscated code, stolen email threads, and tracking pixels to trick users into handing over personal and payment information. Dave's story is on a convincing phishing email claiming Dashlane was hacked, showing how fear and urgency—even in obvious scams—can make anyone second-guess before thinking twice. Our catch of the day is from the scams sub-Reddit thread, and is how one user received a message from their "aunt" who wanted to be nice and grab the user a present.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews Andy Gwynn, founder of Three Degrees Social, based in Málaga, Spain. Andy shares his inspiring journey from being a business coach to becoming a LinkedIn marketing expert, helping small business owners generate consistent leads and engagement through powerful digital strategies. He discusses how consistency, mindset, and leveraging technology have been key to his success, along with valuable lessons learned from franchising, scaling, and adapting to change. Andy's story is a great example of resilience, innovation, and the power of building meaningful connections online. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Andy Gwynn, the hardest thing in growing a small business is mastering sales and marketing. Many business owners struggle to effectively promote and sell their products or services, even when they offer great value. Andy believes that consistent marketing, clear systems, and the ability to adapt quickly are essential for sustainable growth. He also emphasizes that as a business scales, systemizing operations becomes one of the biggest challenges, requiring strong processes to support rapid expansion and maintain quality. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? According to Andy Gwynn, the business book that has helped him the most is “The E-Myth Revisited” by Michael Gerber. He explains that it taught him the importance of systemizing a business so it can run efficiently without relying solely on the owner. Andy also recommends “The Business Coach” by Brad Sugars, which aligns with his coaching background, and “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki, for shifting the mindset from simply working in a business to building one that creates long-term wealth and investment opportunities. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? According to Andy Gwynn, some of the best online learning resources for growing a small business include ChatGPT, YouTube, and the teachings of Russell Brunson, especially for improving webinars and sales strategies. He also values using platforms like LinkedIn for continuous learning and networking with experts in different industries. While Andy doesn't host his own dedicated podcast, he frequently shares insights through interviews and training content under his company, Three Degrees Social, helping business owners master LinkedIn marketing and digital growth strategies. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? According to Andy Gwynn, one of the best tools to help grow a small business is LinkedIn, especially when used strategically for sales and relationship building. He recommends using advanced LinkedIn features like Sales Navigator to identify ideal clients, automate outreach, and maintain consistent engagement. Andy also highlights the value of tools such as ChatGPT, Xero for bookkeeping, Dashlane for password management, and GoHighLevel for CRM and marketing automation. Together, these tools help small business owners save time, stay organized, and build meaningful connections that drive sustainable growth. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? According to Andy Gwynn, the advice he would give himself on day one of starting out in business is to follow the system and get out of his own way. He admits that in the early days, he often let overconfidence and complacency lead to missed sales opportunities or inconsistent results. Andy emphasizes the importance of learning proven systems, sticking to them, and maintaining focus instead of constantly trying to reinvent the process. His key message is that success comes from discipline, structure, and trusting the process rather than relying solely on natural talent or intuition.

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast! I'm your host, Ashley Micciche. This past weekend, I was camping in 100-degree heat with my kids, while my husband had the wisdom to stay home in the air conditioning with our youngest. I was busy packing and stuffing four bikes, three camping totes, two propane tanks, and—yes—basically a partridge in a pear tree into our minivan. So instead of the usual short daily episodes, I'm mixing things up this week and bringing you one longer episode. One of the realities of being a financial advisor is death. Clients die, and it usually happens at least a couple of times a year. When it does, and there's a surviving spouse, part of my job is to make the financial transition as seamless and stress-free as possible. Because when you're grieving the death of a spouse, the last thing you want to worry about is money—or worse, the power being shut off because you couldn't log in to pay the electric bill. Over the years, I've helped many widows and widowers through this transition, and I've developed a Widow's Financial Roadmap. The key is to have this roadmap in place before something happens—before you get sick, become incapacitated, or pass away. If you don't, your spouse may be left without the information they need to keep the household running smoothly, and the stress of grief will be compounded by financial confusion. If you're new to the podcast, a quick introduction: I'm the co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, a fee-only fiduciary financial advisory firm managing over $450 million in assets. For 17 years, I've helped my clients retire with confidence. And here on the podcast, I take complex retirement topics and turn them into clear answers in just a few minutes each day—so you can spend less time stressing about money and more time living. If you know someone who would benefit from this week's topic, please share the show. And if you have a burning question about your own retirement, visit truenorthra.com where you can book a free 15-minute call with me. Now, let's talk about the roadmap. I'm going to lay this out in order—what to do first, and what comes next. Hopefully, you've already checked some of these items off, but there may be a few you haven't thought about. Step 1: Create a Financial Inventory I've talked about this on the podcast before, but it's worth repeating. A financial inventory is essentially a table of contents for your finances. It should include: Bank and investment accounts (with balances, account types, and where they're held). Insurance and annuity policies. Will or trust. Social Security information. Tax returns. Marriage certificate. And eventually, your death certificate. Without this inventory, assets can be forgotten or lost. For example, maybe you still have a 401(k) at a former employer that your spouse doesn't know about. Without documentation, that money could remain unclaimed. This inventory should also include a list of your key advisors and their contact information—your financial advisor, CPA, attorney, insurance agents, and even the phone number for the bank where your checking account is held. One mistake I often see, especially later in life, is not consolidating accounts. People keep money scattered across five different institutions, a handful of bank accounts, and maybe an online savings account. That's a recipe for disaster. The more accounts you have, the greater the chance your spouse won't be able to find or access them. Once you've created your financial inventory, maintaining it is easy. Just update it once a year—adjust balances, note any new or consolidated accounts, and make sure contact information is current. It usually takes less than an hour. This is the single most important step for the long-term financial health of your surviving spouse. Step 2: Ensure Cash Flow Needs Are Met The next step is making sure bills continue to get paid. Your spouse needs a list of all recurring bills with: The name of the bill (mortgage, utilities, insurance, etc.). The approximate amount. How it's paid (auto-draft, ACH, check). The due date and frequency. This isn't just a budget—it's a cash flow map for your surviving spouse. When paired with the financial inventory, it allows them to step in immediately and manage the household without the lights getting shut off or the mortgage falling behind. On the flip side, you'll also want to document income sources—Social Security, pension payments, portfolio withdrawals, or other income. That way, your spouse knows not just what bills are due, but also what money is coming in, from where, and when. Step 3: Set Up a Password Manager If you remember nothing else from this episode, remember this: set up a password manager. A password manager securely stores all of your logins, and you only need to remember one master password. Some of the top options include 1Password, NordPass, and Dashlane. This tool is invaluable while you're alive because it improves security and eliminates the need to remember dozens of passwords. But it's especially critical when someone dies. Nearly everything is digital now—bank accounts, investments, utilities, email, social media, even photo storage. Without access, your spouse may spend hours digging through old notebooks or trying to reset passwords—sometimes unsuccessfully. With a password manager, all of that information is organized and accessible. You and your spouse can share logins through the manager, making it easy to cancel subscriptions, manage accounts, or simply retrieve family photos stored in the cloud. It takes a little time to set up, but once it's running, the manager prompts you to save new logins automatically. Over time, it builds a complete record of your digital life—one that your spouse can access when needed most. Step 4: Write a Letter The final step is to write a personal letter to your spouse. This letter isn't legally binding, like a will or trust, but it can provide enormous comfort. Think of it as a cover letter to the roadmap. It should include: A reminder of where the financial documents are located. Words of love and reassurance. Encouragement not to make big financial or lifestyle changes right away. Grief clouds judgment. Many surviving spouses are tempted to sell the house, change investments, or make other major decisions in the first few months. In most cases, those decisions can wait. Your letter can serve as a gentle reminder to pause and breathe before making big changes. Keep copies of this letter with your roadmap—at home in a safe, in a safe deposit box, and with your trusted advisors. That way, it can be easily found when it's needed most. In the First Few Months After a Death So what happens immediately after a spouse passes away? Order multiple copies of the death certificate. You'll need these to handle accounts and claims. Notify key professionals—your financial advisor, attorney, CPA, and insurance companies. Start claims and transitions—life insurance, Social Security survivor benefits, and retitling accounts. Keep bills paid. If your spouse didn't handle finances before, enlist the help of a trusted child, friend, or advisor to make sure nothing slips through the cracks. Meet with a tax advisor. Your filing status will change, and that can have a big impact on your taxes. Longer-term changes—like adjusting investment withdrawals, selling the house, or revising estate plans—can wait until the fog of grief begins to lift, often 6–12 months down the road. At that point, you'll be in a clearer frame of mind to make big decisions. To recap, the Widow's Financial Roadmap includes four steps: Create a financial inventory. Ensure cash flow needs are met. Set up a password manager. Write a letter to your spouse. Do these now, while you're healthy, and you'll make life much easier for your loved ones later. That's all for this week's episode of the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast. Thanks for listening, and I'll be back next week with more!

What if building a brand partnership with a major entertainment property could happen in 5 minutes instead of 6 months—and drive 10x better results? What would that change for your marketing strategy? Today I'm joined by Alan Gould, CEO of Mutual Markets. Alan is at the forefront of a major shift in digital marketing and advertising—using AI to reduce friction between brands and entertainment partners, making high-impact collaborations accessible to brands of all sizes. Mutual Markets is already working with major streamers and delivering successful partnerships, like PopCorners' Super Bowl spot with Breaking Bad and Dashlane's collaboration with NCIS. Alan's here to talk about how AI is democratizing access to branded entertainment partnerships and what that means for the future of marketing.

Alan has a long history in data, analytics, and marketing. Prior to co-founding MutualMarkets with his brother Eric Gould, Alan co-founded IAG Research, a media-measurement company created to gauge the effectiveness of ads, and sold it to Nielsen in 2008 for $250M. Alan is also co-founder of a venture capital firm called Peak Opportunity Partners and has been involved in several successful exits from companies like Maker Studios, WorkFusion, Embark Veterinary, Vizu, and early investor roles in iSport.TV, which later saw a $325M minority position from Goldman Sachs valuing the company at $750M. Under his leadership, MutualMarkets has expanded its global footprint, strengthened its portfolio, and adopted cutting-edge technologies to enhance client outcomes. Alan is passionate about fostering a culture of innovation, transparency, and collaboration, ensuring that the company remains at the forefront of the ever-evolving marketing landscape.

In this episode, global brand experts Katherine Melchior Ray and Nataly Kelly discuss how international brands must evolve to stay relevant in an era marked by cultural shifts, technological acceleration, and rising consumer expectations. Drawing on their leadership experience at companies like Nike, Louis Vuitton, HubSpot, and Zappi, they highlight the urgency of embedding trust, cultural fluency, and adaptability into brand strategy. Key insights include: Localization Requires Strategic Adaptability Nataly Kelly reflects, “I used to believe that branding required absolute consistency... but when I began to work in global marketing, I realized there is adaptability that's required to really succeed.” True global branding, both argue, means creating a consistent brand core with local expressions, not rigid replication. Cultural Blind Spots Undermine Strategy Ray recalls early leadership at Nike, where “the common refrain was, for women's shoes… ‘shrink it and pink it.'” She urges leaders to “listen with your eyes,” emphasizing the importance of nonverbal cues and lived experience, especially when HQ-based assumptions fail abroad. Responsiveness Is Not the Same as Reactivity As AI reshapes marketing operations, Kelly warns, “You can't outsource your strategy… Judgment and strategy are the two things that I think humans will start to realize [must stay human].” Rapid action without clear values can erode trust. Brand Trust Is Repetition, Not Rhetoric Ray notes, “At the end of the day, a brand is all about a promise… people support brands that they trust.” In an age of AI-generated messaging, staying aligned with core values, through actions, not just language, is critical to maintaining consumer confidence. Structure Signals Strategy Kelly shares a story from Dashlane, a startup that eliminated the term “headquarters” to create structural parity across regions. “It was a strong statement about how to build a globally equitable organization… Employees are brand ambassadors, and status differences send signals.” The episode closes with a powerful reminder: As technology advances, human competencies like cultural literacy, curiosity, and creativity will only become more essential. “The more we rely on technology, the more we must double down on our humanity,” Ray says.
