Episode 318 examines critical vulnerabilities and the evolving impact of AI on the security industry. The episode details a recent sophisticated impersonation and malware attack targeting open-source Slack communities, including their own, where attackers spoofed Seth's identity to distribute malicious links via Google Sites. The hosts express significant frustration with Slack's lack of built-in impersonation controls, comparing the flaw to the inherent trust issues in the Git protocol. A major portion of the discussion focuses on the "leak" of Anthropic's highly capable Mythos model and its potential to disrupt the market. They analyze how such frontier model announcements contribute to massive stock market volatility for traditional security firms while simultaneously creating an "intense echo chamber" regarding AI's ability to replace human practitioners. Referencing Thomas Ptacek's thesis, they debate whether AI agents will soon supplant human vulnerability research for common bug classes, shifting the human role toward high-level governance and "context infusion". Ultimately, the hosts advocate for autonomous defense and rigorous evaluation frameworks to manage "reasoning drift" and the exploding velocity of AI-generated code.
Rural populations in the United States face unique healthcare challenges. These communities tend to be older, have higher mortality rates, and experience higher rates of chronic conditions and physical disabilities compared to urban populations. Despite the increased need for palliative care in rural areas, access remains alarmingly limited. Even in hospital settings, where palliative care programs are more common in urban areas, only 35% of rural hospitals report having such programs, compared to 81% of urban hospitals. In this week's podcast, we explore the challenges and opportunities of delivering palliative care in rural communities with our esteemed guests Karl Bezak, Jeanie Youngwerth, Adie Goldberg, and Gregg Vandekieft. We begin by discussing what inspired each of them to focus on rural palliative care. From there, we dive into what rural palliative care looks like and examine how it differs from care provided in urban settings. Our guests also share insights into the challenges of delivering this care in resource-limited rural environments and explore innovative strategies to ensure patients and families receive the support they need (like providing remote fellowship training for docs living in rural areas!). We also tackle the role of telemedicine in rural palliative care, both the good part, connecting patients in remote areas with specialists who might otherwise be unavailable, and the bad part, the huge digital divide seen in rural areas. Join us for what I thought were some valuable insights our guests brought on how we can better serve rural populations and create a more equitable system for palliative care delivery.

You kick off the year by tightening your Apple habits, starting with smart Quick Tips that actually stick. You build year-based music playlists for offline listening, flip on Airplane Mode when you're out of service to save serious battery, and let the Health app handle reminders for meds and eye drops so nothing slips. You're reminded of power-user staples like Cmd-Shift-5 for screenshots, learn how Google Sites can double as a surprisingly effective bookmark manager, and get clarity on when and how to disable VPNs properly, including on Apple TV for region-locked content. Along the way, you discover tools that reliably track Apple refurb inventory and dig into the oddly fascinating logic behind Safari's tab close order. Then it's time to not get caught. You hear why Time Machine now warns you when your backup drive is too small, why storing Notes “On My Device” can bite you later, and how increasing cloud storage often means increasing local storage, too. Listener questions keep things practical, from tracking a missing Apple TV remote to deciding when an iPad beats a laptop. A deep dive into strange Safari tab behavior brings it all home, followed by Cool Stuff Found that helps you update Macs more intelligently, evaluate startup risks, replicate Mac setups with Ansible, and even capture insights from podcasts using AI. It's a fast, practical reset that helps you start the year sharper, safer, and a little more in control. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1123 for Monday, January 5th, 2026 January 5th: National Whipped Cream Day MGG Monthly Giveaway – Enter to win a copy of Ecamm Live or Carbon Copy Cloner 7!

Erich and Javvad summarize this week's cyber soap opera and bring you a tangled web of digital deceit, artificial “intelligence,” and just enough government extradition drama to keep things spicy. From Spain With Wire Fraud: Alleged “Scattered Spider” member Tyler Buchanan thought sunny Spain was a safe hideout—until the long arm of U.S. justice said hola. Extradited for allegedly scamming Caesars and MGM, his toolkit included SIM swapping and social engineering. Welcome to America, Tyler—hope you like federal courtrooms. Phishing with Google's Seal of Approval: Meanwhile, phisherfolk are reusing Google's DKIM signatures like they're leftover lasagna—slapping them onto spoofed emails from no-reply@accounts.google.com and tricking even the most paranoid clickers. The result? Legit-looking credential traps hosted on Google Sites. It's like gourmet phishing, served with a side of irony. Darcula Gets a Brain Upgrade: And if you thought cybercrime required effort, think again. The Darcula phishing kit now uses generative AI to do all the heavy lifting. Bad grammar and clunky templates? Gone. Now, even your cousin Steve with zero hacking skills can impersonate a bank in 100 languages. Thanks, AI. Tune in for a romp through the latest digital deceptions, complete with dark web drama and facepalms galore. Stay sharp—because the hackers definitely are.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1025: We cover Nissan's plan to hold vehicle prices through early June and increase U.S. production in response to tariffs. Plus we examine Tesla's strategic repositioning of the Cybertruck and how cybercriminals are creating a realistic-looking phishing campaign using Google's own tools.Show Notes with links:Nissan is staying steady on pricing through June 2 and looking to its underused U.S. factories to soften the blow of auto tariffs. The strategy focuses on affordability and domestic production leverage.Nissan has a 3-month supply of tariff-free vehicles and won't raise prices yet.The company plans to boost output at Smyrna, TN and Canton, MS plants, all of which operated at half their capacity in 2024.Rogue production will jump by 54% over the next year, adding 60,000 units, while price cuts of $1K on 2025 Rogue and Pathfinder aim to drive demand.Nissan is incentivizing retailers with its April and May dealer volume bonus program, which pays extra cash to stores that meet sales targets.“We count all the cars [toward the sales target], but we only pay on the U.S.-made cars because we want to give [them a] tailwind,” said Nissan Americas Chair Christian MeunierTesla is quietly shifting the Cybertruck's identity from status symbol to workhorse after early hype faded, trucks stockpiled, and political ties turned divisive. The new approach aims to resonate with a more traditional truck-buying audience.Cybertruck deliveries remain under 50,000; demand has sharply declined with sales dropping 50% in Q1.Tesla updated the product page with rugged, utilitarian imagery, aligning with Ford's F-150 ads.Sales teams report it's harder to sell the truck to actual truck buyers; its novelty isn't enough."They need to advertise durability. It needs to be used and abused, and all of the capabilities that make it a work truck need to be on full display," said Edmunds' Ivan Drury.Cybercriminals are exploiting Google's own “Sites” app to run a phishing campaign that convincingly mimics law enforcement subpoenas and bypasses email authentication safeguards.Emails appear from “no-reply@google.com” and claim law enforcement access to your account.Attackers use Google Sites to create convincing portals that evade DKIM checks.DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) authentication is passed since the emails originate from Google's own infrastructure.Google has acknowledged the issue and is deploying mitigations while encouraging 2FA and passkeys.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Episode 201 contains the Digital Marketing News and Updates from the week of Feb 26 - Mar 1, 2024.1. ‘How Google Search Crawls Pages' - In a comprehensive video from, Google engineer Gary Illyes sheds light on how Google's search engine discovers and fetches web pages through a process known as crawling. Crawling is the first step in making a webpage searchable. Google uses automated programs, known as crawlers, to find new or updated pages. The cornerstone of this process is URL discovery, where Google identifies new pages by following links from known pages. This method highlights the importance of having a well-structured website with effective internal linking, ensuring that Google can discover and index new content efficiently.A key tool in enhancing your website's discoverability is the use of sitemaps. These are XML files that list your site's URLs along with additional metadata. While not mandatory, sitemaps are highly recommended as they significantly aid Google and other search engines in finding your content. For business owners, this means working with your website provider or developer to ensure your site automatically generates sitemap files, saving you time and reducing the risk of errors.Googlebot, Google's main crawler, uses algorithms to decide which sites to crawl, how often, and how many pages to fetch. This process is delicately balanced to avoid overloading your website, with the speed of crawling adjusted based on your site's response times, content quality, and server health. It's crucial for businesses to maintain a responsive and high-quality website to facilitate efficient crawling.Moreover, Googlebot only indexes publicly accessible URLs, emphasizing the need for businesses to ensure their most important content is not hidden behind login pages. The crawling process concludes with downloading and rendering the pages, allowing Google to see and index dynamic content loaded via JavaScript.2. Is Google Happy with 301+410 Responses? - In a recent discussion on Reddit, a user expressed concerns about their site's "crawl budget" being impacted by a combination of 301 redirects and 410 error responses. This situation involved redirecting non-secure, outdated URLs to their secure counterparts, only to serve a 410 error indicating the page is permanently removed. The user wondered if this approach was hindering Googlebot's efficiency and contributing to crawl budget issues.Google's John Mueller provided clarity, stating that using a mix of 301 redirects (which guide users from HTTP to HTTPS versions of a site) followed by 410 errors is acceptable. Mueller emphasized that crawl budget concerns primarily affect very large sites, as detailed in Google's documentation. If a smaller site experiences crawl issues, it likely stems from Google's assessment of the site's value rather than technical problems. This suggests the need for content evaluation to enhance its appeal to Googlebot.Mueller's insights reveal a critical aspect of SEO; the creation of valuable content. He criticizes common SEO strategies that replicate existing content, which fails to add value or originality. This approach, likened to producing more "Zeros" rather than unique "Ones," implies that merely duplicating what's already available does not improve a site's worth in Google's eyes.For business owners, this discussion underlines the importance of focusing on original, high-quality content over technical SEO manipulations. While ensuring your site is technically sound is necessary, the real competitive edge lies in offering something unique and valuable to your audience. This not only aids in standing out in search results but also aligns with Google's preference for indexing content that provides new information or perspectives.In summary, while understanding the technicalities of SEO, such as crawl budgets and redirects, is important, the emphasis should be on content quality. Businesses should strive to create original content that answers unmet needs or provides fresh insights. This approach not only helps with better indexing by Google but also engages your audience more effectively, driving organic traffic and contributing to your site's long-term success.3. UTM Parameters & SEO - Google's John Mueller emphasized that disallowing URLs with UTM parameters does not significantly enhance a website's search performance. Instead, he advocates for maintaining clean and consistent internal URLs to ensure optimal site hygiene and efficiency in tracking.Mueller's advice is straightforward: focus on improving the site's structure to minimize the need for Google to crawl irrelevant URLs. This involves refining internal linking strategies, employing rel-canonical tags judiciously, and ensuring consistency in URLs across feeds. The goal is to streamline site management and make it easier to track user interactions and traffic sources without compromising on SEO performance.A notable point Mueller makes is regarding the handling of external links with UTM parameters. He advises against blocking these through robots.txt, suggesting that rel-canonical tags will effectively manage these over time, aligning external links with the site's canonical URL structure. This approach not only simplifies the cleanup of random parameter URLs but also reinforces the importance of direct management at the source. For instance, if a site generates random parameter URLs internally or through feed submissions, the priority should be to address these issues directly rather than relying on robots.txt to block them.In summary, Mueller's guidance underscores the importance of website hygiene and the strategic use of SEO tools like rel-canonical tags to manage URL parameters effectively. His stance is clear: maintaining a clean website is crucial, but blocking external URLs with random parameters is not recommended. This advice aligns with Mueller's consistent approach to SEO best practices, emphasizing the need for site owners to focus on foundational site improvements and efficient management of URL parameters for better search visibility and tracking.4. Transition Required for Google Business Profile Websites - Google has announced that starting in March 2024, websites created through Google Business Profiles (GBP) will be deactivated, with an automatic redirect to the businesses' Google Business Profile in place until June 10, 2024. This move requires immediate attention from GBP website owners to ensure continuity in their online operations.For businesses unsure if their website is hosted through Google Business Profiles, a simple search on Google for their business name and accessing the edit function of their Google Business Profile will reveal if their website is a GBP creation. It's indicated by a message stating, “You have a website created with Google.” For those without a GBP website, the option to link an external site will be available.In response to this change, Google has recommended several alternative website builders for affected businesses. Among the suggested platforms are Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Google Sites, Shopify (specifically for e-commerce), Durable, Weebly, Strikingly, and WordPress. Each offers unique features, with WordPress notable for its free website builder incorporating generative AI capabilities. However, users should be aware ...

Episode 177 contains the notable Digital Marketing News and Updates from the week of Sep 4-8, 2023.1. Google August 2023 Core Update - Google has confirmed that the August 2023 core update, which began rolling out on August 22, 2023, has completed on Sept 7, 2023. This is the second core update of 2023, following the March 2023 core update.FYI: Core updates are major changes to Google's search algorithm that aim to improve the quality of search results. They are not focused on any particular kind of content or website, and they can affect rankings for a wide variety of websites. The early SEO industry chatter suggested this update was a fairly impactful update compared to previous core updates. The exact impact of the August 2023 core update is still unknown. Google stressed that pages impacted by core updates aren't necessarily flawed. According to Google, this update focused on improving Google's overall content assessment. As always, Google advised site owners to focus on quality content as a response to fluctuations in search rankings. Sites that are experiencing a dip should consider conducting an audit to understand which pages were most impacted and for what types of searches. Google also cautioned that improving your website content may not lead to an immediate change in rankings.2. Google Updates Helpful Content Guidelines: Self-Assess Your Content & Remove Unhelpful Content - Google recently updated its documentation on the helpful content system, designed to identify and demote low-quality content from search results. The updated documentation now states that website owners should self-assess their content to determine if it is helpful to visitors. If website owners find their content unhelpful, they are encouraged to remove it.Marie Haynes asked Danny Sullivan, the Google Search Liaison:"Google's documentation on the helpful content system talks about recovering by "removing unhelpful content" in order to get the unhelpful content classification removed. Any chance we could get more clarity on this? Do you mean: -remove parts of pages that contain large amounts of text readers will likely skip over? -remove entire pages that offer little original value? -perhaps both? Does a site need to remove unhelpful content published in the past in order to recover? Or could they focus on simply producing content that is helpful and original from this point onwards. Would that be enough?"Danny replied: "People should self-assess their content to understand if they believe it will be helpful to visitors. Keep content on pages or entire pages or whatever they believe is helpful. Get rid of things that aren't, if they're looking critically at them as a visitor."I know that Google does not provide specific guidance on what constitutes unhelpful content. However, the documentation does provide some general examples, such as content that is plagiarized, spammy, or irrelevant to the user's search intent.Website owners concerned about their content being labeled as unhelpful should carefully review their pages or enlist the help of a trusted third party. How do you all go about assessing if your content is helpful or not?3. Google Sites: Not Ideal for SEO - Google Sites is a free website builder that allows users to create and publish websites without coding knowledge. The Google site is a hosted website builder that's free and published under a sites.google.com domain, although one can opt to use an actual domain name. Now, Google's John Mueller shared additional details on Google Sites and SEO after someone asked him why Google did not index his Google site. Here is what John replied:"Taking a step back, websites created on Google Sites can and do get indexed in Google Search. However, the URLs used in Google Sites are hard to track since the public version can differ from the URL you see when logged in. To be blunt, while it's technically indexable, it's not ideal for SEO purposes and can be complex for tracking in Search Console. If SEO is your primary consideration, exploring other options and checking the pros and cons before committing might be worthwhile. For performance tracking in the Search Console, you could also use your domain name for the Google Sites content. Using your domain name makes it easier to migrate, should you choose, and allows you to verify ownership of the whole domain for Search Console. "P.S: The Google Sites service is popular with link spammers who create links on Google subdomains in a tactic called "Google Stacking." The idea behind Google Stacking is that spammers generate a page of links on Google Sheets, Google Docs, etc., and then interlink them all from a Google Sites. Google Stacking is based on the mistaken belief that there's "authority" and "trust" in Google subdomains that is transferred over to the spammer sites through links. Of course, that's wishful thinking. There's no such thing used by Google called "trust" or "authority" that gets transferred from one site to another through links.4. The Best Way to Do Paid Guest Posting (According to Google) - Whether paid or unpaid, guest posts are an old tactic. In 2014, Google's Matt Cutts wrote a blog post telling SEO practitioners to "put a fork in it," since guest blogging does not work anymore.The same year Google issued a series of penalties on guest blogging platforms. But these days, Google doesn't hand out penalties like it used to. Google stops the links from passing PageRank. That makes it hard to know whether the guest post is working. So people keep guest posting because the penalty feedback isn't there.During the September 2023 Google SEO Office Hours, an individual asked: "Most websites only offer the option to purchase a "guest post" (to gain a backlink) from them nowadays. Is this against Google's guidelines if I'm writing valuable content?"John Mueller answered: "It sounds like you're already on the right track.Yes, using guest posts for links is against our spam policies. In particular, it's important that these links are qualified in a way that signal that they don't affect search results.You can do this with the rel=nofollow or rel=sponsored attributes on links. It's fine to use advertising to promote your site, but the links should be blocked as mentioned."So, Paid Guest Posts with links are advertisements as far as Google is concerned. Failure to label advertisements is not only misleading to readers but may also violate laws that prohibit misleading advertisements.

As summer comes to an end, faculty, staff, and students are now trickling back to the PVCC campus for Fall 2022. Coming out of a pandemic offered many online and remote learning challenges and as well as learning to work and regaining our working relationships, it's now time to really get back into creating projects, collaborating with others and using new digital media to enhance our courses. This episode is just an update on the new location of the CTLEE- Center for Teaching, Learning and Employee Engagement and as well to discuss a few online tools that I have been using over the last 2 and a half years to create digital media to support instruction while working remotely during COVID-19 and while our new CTLEE was being remodeled to move us closer to the center of campus. I will briefly discuss Canvas, Google Sites and touch on a new tool that I used over the summer that I am sure faculty and staff will find a lot of fun as well with easy to learn and implement into your course materials.

When I originally brought Kelly Hogan from Mathematically Enthused (TPT store follow link) onto the show, I wanted her to share tips on how to create the epic and elaborate escape rooms with Google Sites, And while we DID cover that, we covered SO MUCH MORE. We shared how we really feel about the common core standards (spoiler alert: they're sorely lacking), and we shared our soapboxes about financial literacy and real-world learning. Kelly shared practical tips for upper elementary teachers who want to bring more S.T.E.A.M. (Science Technology Engineering Arts and Math) into their math instructional block.

It's Friday July 8th 2022, and this is a look at the information security news from overnight. From BleepingComputer.comQNAP is warning customers to secure their network attached storage devices against attacks using Checkmate ransomware. The company says the attacks are focused on Internet-exposed devices with the SMB service enabled, and accounts with weak passwords that can be cracked in brute-force, or dictionary attacks. Ransom notes seen so far put the price tag of the decryptor at about $15,000 of bitcoin. From SecurityWeek.com:Security researchers have identified a new ransomware family called HavanaCrypt, that is being delivered as a fake Google Software Update application. The ransomware performs multiple anti-virtualization checks and uses a Microsoft web hosting service IP address for its C2 server, which helps it to evade detection. More details in the article. From BleepingComputer.com:Website owners are being targeted with fake copyright infringement complaints to distribute the IcedID banking malware, as well as the BazarLoader and BumbleBee loaders. Instead of using Google Drive or Google Sites to host their alleged reports, this time around the threat actors are using Yandex Forms. Details in the article. From TheHackerNews.comResearchers uncovered a malicious browser extension with 350 variants that is masquerading as a Google Translate add-on. The malware family, dubbed ABCsoup, is part of an adware campaign targeting Russian users of Chrome, Opera, and Firefox browsers. The threat group appears to be well organized and originating out of Eastern Europe or Russia. And last today, from PortSwigger.netThe maintainers of Node.js have released multiple fixes for vulnerabilities in the JavaScript runtime environment. Exploitation of the seven newly patched bugs could lead to arbitrary code execution and HTTP request smuggling, among other attacks. The flaws impact all versions of the 18.x, 16.x and 14.x releases. Get your patch on kids. That's all for me this week. Have a fantastic weekend. Like and subscribe, and until next time, be safe out there.
