* Chinese AI App DeepSeek Banned From Australian Government Devices* OpenAI Data Breach Alleged: 20 Million Logins Reportedly Stolen* Apple Removes Apps Infected with "SparkCat" Malware* Australian Healthcare Sector Hardest Hit by Cyberattacks: Report* Securing the No-Code SDLC: A New Approach NeededChinese AI App DeepSeek Banned From Australian Government Deviceshttps://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/chinese-ai-app-deepseek-banned-on-all-australian-government-devices/lm9udv4etThe Australian government has banned the use of the Chinese AI chatbot DeepSeek on all government-issued devices, citing national security concerns. This decision, effective immediately, follows warnings from intelligence agencies about the potential risks associated with the app.The ban comes amidst growing global concerns about the security and privacy implications of AI technologies developed in China.While the ban applies only to government entities, the government has urged Australians to be mindful of how their data is used online. This move follows a similar ban on the Chinese social media app TikTok earlier this year.DeepSeek's rapid rise to prominence has sparked a global debate about the future of AI development and the potential for geopolitical competition in this emerging field.OpenAI Data Breach Alleged: 20 Million Logins Reportedly Stolenhttps://gbhackers.com/openai-data-breach/A concerning claim has emerged on dark web forums, alleging the theft and subsequent sale of over 20 million OpenAI user login credentials.The anonymous threat actor, who posted the claim, is offering the credentials for sale, raising serious concerns about the security of OpenAI's user data.While the authenticity of this claim remains unconfirmed, the potential impact of such a breach is significant. OpenAI accounts are often used for critical tasks, including academic research, professional projects, and sensitive content generation.OpenAI has not yet publicly addressed these claims. However, users are advised to take immediate precautions, such as changing passwords and enabling two-factor authentication, to protect their accounts.This incident serves as a stark reminder of the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape and the importance of robust security measures for all online platforms, especially those handling sensitive user data.Apple Removes Apps Infected with "SparkCat" Malwarehttps://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/06/apple-removed-screen-reading-malware-apps/Apple has removed 11 iOS apps from the App Store after they were found to contain malicious code designed to steal sensitive information from users' devices.Security firm Kaspersky discovered the malware, dubbed "SparkCat," which utilizes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to scan user photos for sensitive data, such as cryptocurrency recovery phrases.The malware targeted users in Europe and Asia, attempting to gain access to user photos and extract valuable information.Apple also identified an additional 89 apps that had previously been rejected or removed from the App Store due to fraud concerns and found to contain similar malicious code.This incident serves as a reminder for users to be cautious when downloading and installing apps from the App Store, particularly those from unknown developers. Apple recommends utilizing the App Privacy Report feature within the Settings app to monitor app access to sensitive data and avoid granting unnecessary permissions.By taking these precautions and exercising caution when downloading apps, users can significantly reduce their risk of exposure to malware and other malicious threats.Australian Healthcare Sector Hardest Hit by Cyberattackshttps://cybercx.com.au/resource/dfir-threat-report-2025/https://www.smh.com.au/technology/healthcare-and-finance-the-hardest-hit-by-cyberattacks-20250205-p5l9ns.htmlThe Australian healthcare sector faced the brunt of cyberattacks in the past year, according to a new report from cybersecurity firm CyberCX.The report revealed that healthcare accounted for 17% of all cyberattacks in Australia, followed by the financial services sector at 11%. The 2024 MediSecure data breach, impacting over 12 million Australians, stands as a stark reminder of the severity of these attacks.The report highlights a concerning trend: a significant increase in the time it takes to detect cyber espionage incidents, now averaging over 400 days. This suggests that attackers are becoming more sophisticated and persistent, operating within networks for extended periods.The report also emphasizes the growing prevalence of financially motivated attacks, with 65% of incidents driven by financial gain.These findings underscore the critical need for enhanced cybersecurity measures across all sectors, particularly in healthcare and finance where sensitive data is highly valuable.Securing the No-Code SDLC: A New Approach Neededhttps://www.forbes.com/councils/forbestechcouncil/2025/02/10/securing-the-sdlc-for-no-code-environments/Traditional software development relies heavily on a structured SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle) with security baked in at every stage. However, the rise of no-code development platforms has disrupted this model, presenting unique challenges for security teams.No-code platforms, which empower citizen developers to create applications with minimal coding, often bypass crucial SDLC stages like planning, analysis, and design. This lack of structured oversight can lead to critical security vulnerabilities.Traditional security measures, such as threat modeling and secure coding practices, are often impractical or inapplicable in the no-code environment.To effectively secure no-code development, organizations must adapt their approach. This involves:* Focusing on later stages: Shifting the focus towards later stages of the SDLC, such as implementation, testing, and maintenance, where security measures can be most effectively applied.* Implementing real-time security detection: Integrating automated tools that can detect vulnerabilities in real-time within the no-code platform itself.* Establishing robust testing and deployment policies: Mandating rigorous testing procedures and enforcing strict security checks before applications are deployed to production environments.* Leveraging platform-level security: Advocating for no-code platforms to incorporate built-in security features, such as pre-configured secure connectors and automated compliance checks.By adapting their approach and focusing on these key areas, organizations can empower citizen developers to innovate while ensuring the security and integrity of their no-code applications.Special Thanks to Bradley Busch for contributing some of the interesting stories for this week's cyber bites.

[SEGMENT 1-1] Silly Leftists 1 Welcome, folks. It's KJ Radio time…the show where common sense kicks the buttocks of Leftism. WITH steel-toed boots. And trust me, there's no shortage of targets. UnitedHealthcare CEO Gets ShotFirst up, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare got shot. Now, I'm not saying this guy was involved in something shady, but if you look up “suspicious deaths” in the corporate dictionary, his picture probably pops up next to “knew too much.” A random act of violence? Yeah, and I'm the Easter Bunny. I mean, who gets shot at 3 PM on a Tuesday unless they're either a mob boss or a whistleblower? Somewhere in a boardroom, some healthcare exec just said, “See? THIS is why we stick to overcharging customers—it's safer!” SCOTUS and the Transgender CircusOver at the Supreme Court, we've got the transgender issue. And let me tell you, it's a bloodbath for the Left. Watching Justice Thomas and Alito dismantle the ACLU attorney was like watching Tyson in his prime—just brutal. Meanwhile, Ketanji Brown-Jackson is over here proving once again she couldn't win a game of “Guess Who?” She's supposed to rule on human rights but doesn't know the difference between a man and a woman? What's her benchmark—pronouns on a Starbucks cup? And the ACLU arguing this case? Their strategy is basically, “Well, Your Honor, we think biology is mean.” Pro tip: when you're trying to overturn centuries of reality, you might want to come with something stronger than feelings. Daniel Penny: Subway Defender ExtraordinaireLet's talk Daniel Penny. The man subdued a crazed subway lunatic threatening passengers, and now he's the one facing charges. Meanwhile, New York is releasing criminals like it's a Black Friday sale at Rikers. I say let the guy get back to his life. The only crime here is that we don't have a Daniel Penny on every subway train. The Great Pardon PanicOh, the pardons! Leftists are scrambling like chickens in a fox den. Remember when they lost their collective minds thinking Trump might preemptively pardon his kids? They were frothing at the mouth like rabid dogs, screaming, “Only the guilty need pardons!” Fast forward, and Joe Biden actually pardons Hunter, and suddenly it's a heartwarming story of fatherly love. You've gotta admire the consistency—oh wait, they don't have any. [SEGMENT 1-2] Silly Leftists 2 And now Biden's gearing up for mass pardons. Rumor has it Adam Schiff's already practicing his “thank you” speech. Fauci's probably prepping too—he'll need one for every agency under his control: the NIH, FDA, CDC. By the time Biden's done, he'll need a bulk discount on “Pardon Me” cards. Trump's Appointments and the Lawsuit ShowdownSpeaking of accountability, let's talk about Trump's appointees. Despite the Left's best smear campaigns, they're holding strong. And Kash Patel threatening to sue Pence's advisor? I LOVE it. Finally, conservatives are playing offense. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of watching Republicans act like it's a three-legged sack race while the Left is in a tank. Let's start suing these clowns into oblivion. Why Be a Democrat Today?Which brings me to this question: why would anyone want to be a Democrat today? What's the appeal? The policies don't work, their scandals are more predictable than Hallmark movies, and their leaders are walking punchlines. Your flagship legislation is “Men Can Have Babies,” your economic policy is “Spend Until Collapse,” and your presidential frontrunner is... Joe Biden? Imagine being on a sinking ship, grabbing a bucket, and saying, “This is fine.” That's the Democratic Party right now. SCOTUS SmackdownBack to the SCOTUS hearing—seriously, the level of delusion on the Left is staggering. They want “special rights” for a mental disorder. And yes, that's what gender dysphoria is. They're trying to legalize feelings. What's next? Mandating that everyone applaud when a grown man in a tutu demands to use the women's restroom? [SEGMENT 1-3] Silly Leftists 3 [X] SB – Charlamagne on The View Pt 1 The week's insanity has been one big reminder: the Left's hypocrisy knows no bounds. Whether it's defending pardons for their criminals, championing “rights” that defy logic, or spinning corporate corruption into a soap opera, they've mastered the art of ridiculousness. But don't worry, folks—common sense isn't dead. It's just taking a coffee break. [X] SB - Charlamagne on The View Pt 2 Sick of watching everybody else get over? Pardons, Power, and Protecting the Crooked: Biden's Legacy of Legal Abuse Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution grants the president the authority to pardon offenses against the United States, a power intended to provide fairness and avoid prosecutorial abuses. Alexander Hamilton envisioned this clemency as a tool to “restore the tranquility of the commonwealth.” But in the hands of Joe Biden, the pardon power looks less like a tool for justice and more like a sledgehammer wielded to shield a crumbling empire of corruption. Biden's recent pardon of his son Hunter has spotlighted the blatant hypocrisy of the Left's use of clemency. After years of moral grandstanding, claiming the high road on justice and accountability, Democrats are now orchestrating mass pardons to shield themselves from the fallout of their own malfeasance. Pardons as Preemptive Damage Control During Trump's presidency, Democrats practically dared him to issue preemptive pardons for his family, projecting their own propensity for guilt on the former president. When Trump pardoned Jared Kushner's father, the media spun it as though he had pardoned Kushner himself. That narrative stuck, fueling the perception of Trump as corrupt, even as his actual record on pardons tells a different story. Trump, notably, did not pardon his children or any close associates preemptively. Why? Because they weren't guilty of anything. Contrast that with Biden, whose pardons aren't just reactive—they're preemptive damage control for an administration rife with misconduct. Leaks suggest Biden is preparing pardons for a laundry list of allies, including Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, Anthony Fauci, and members of the January 6th Committee. These aren't minor players; they are key figures in the systemic abuse of power targeting Donald Trump and his supporters. The January 6th Committee alone violated so many laws it could be a semester-long case study at any law school. Then there's Fauci. A pardon for Fauci essentially extends to the entire health bureaucracy—NIH, FDA, CDC—that oversaw the disastrous COVID-19 policies. Lockdowns, vaccine mandates, suppression of dissent, and the mishandling of public trust—it's no wonder Biden would want to sweep this under the rug. A Record-Breaking Abuse of Power[SEGMENT 1-4] Silly Leftists 4 Historically, presidents have used pardons sparingly, often to right specific wrongs. Franklin D. Roosevelt holds the record with 2,819 pardons and 3,796 total acts of clemency, largely for people convicted under Prohibition laws. Barack Obama granted 1,927 acts of clemency, including a controversial commutation for Chelsea Manning. But Biden's pardon spree could make FDR's record look modest. Biden's administration isn't dealing with isolated cases of injustice—it's mopping up the collateral damage from years of systemic corruption. Consider the scope:The FBI: With over 37,000 employees, including 10,000 special agents, the agency's involvement in targeting Trump and MAGA supporters is well-documented.The CIA and NSA: These agencies, with a combined workforce exceeding 50,000, played their parts in surveillance and misinformation campaigns.IRS and FISA Courts: From targeting conservative groups to enabling dubious investigations, their roles can't be ignored.Biden's pardons could easily extend to thousands of individuals across these institutions, creating a tsunami of public outrage. This isn't about restoring tranquility; it's about cementing a legacy of corruption while protecting a broken system. Democrats: Masters of Projection The hypocrisy is staggering. Democrats who lambasted Trump for imagined abuses of power are now actively orchestrating the largest clemency cover-up in history. When Joy Reid and Adam Schiff criticized the idea of preemptive pardons, they framed it as an admission of guilt. Yet here we are, watching Biden prepare to issue blanket pardons to his political allies without a shred of irony. [X] SB – Joy Reid and Adam Schiff on preemptive pardon Dishonest man… Heard of an innocent person getting a blanket pardon Hunter Biden's pardon set the tone: a sweeping, decade-long absolution for crimes ranging from tax evasion to illegal firearm possession. The message? Rules are for the little people. Trump: A Study in Contrast Trump's approach to pardons highlights the glaring differences between the two administrations. While Biden's pardons shield the guilty, Trump's were measured and purposeful. Trump used his clemency power to address specific injustices, such as Alice Johnson's over-sentencing or the persecution of Michael Flynn. More importantly, Trump didn't shield himself or his family. His restraint underscores the integrity of his administration compared to the flagrant abuses we're witnessing now. Rebuilding Trust in Justice Biden's pardon spree will leave a lasting stain on America's institutions. But it also presents an opportunity for renewal. When Trump returns to office, he will face the monumental Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

The meters can prevent days or months of leaks with sensors that send messages to the base stations. So far, enough water has been saved to supply more than 400 homes with water for a year. Dave and Debbie are joined by Kress Staheli, Washington City Mayor, to talk about how much money this is saving residents on their water bills.
Susie Jones hangs out with Chad for two segments on some fun topics before Chad advocates for mandated service to the country for all Americans.
In this week's episode of the Sportsmen's Voice Roundup lead story, Fred and CSF Senior Director of Fisheries Policy Chris Horton discuss the recent Congressional Fishing Tournament and the importance of fisheries conservation and hosting an event building relationships and promoting passion for hunting and fishing on the Hill. The conversation also touches on the challenges of fisheries management and the need for accurate data. The use of electronic reporting and AI technology is seen as a potential solution to improve data collection and real-time monitoring. The idea of mandating reporting for recreational anglers is also discussed as a way to better manage fisheries. Fred Bird then moves on to discuss various news updates related to hunting and conservation. He covers topics including chronic wasting disease in California, firearm purchaser's privacy in New Hampshire, the Congressional Clay's event, land conservation legislation in North Carolina, and fur bear hunting tournaments in Illinois. Takeaways The Congressional Fishing Tournament is more about building relationships and promoting the passion for hunting and fishing. Electronic reporting and AI technology have the potential to improve data collection and real-time monitoring. Mandating reporting for recreational anglers could help better manage fisheries. The conversation highlights the economic impact of fishing and the need for conservation funding. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has been detected in California, which is concerning for deer and elk populations and hunters. New Hampshire has passed a bill to protect the privacy of firearm purchasers, while New York is moving in the opposite direction with merchant coding. The Congressional Clay's event was a successful and enjoyable competition among legislators and partners of the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation (CSF). North Carolina is considering legislation to offer tax credits to landowners who donate property for conservation purposes. Illinois is facing a potential ban on fur bearer hunting tournaments, but CSF is working to oppose the passage of this legislation.

Potential Supply Chain Disruptions Under Canada's New Import Rules One truck carrying 30,000 parcels arrives at the Canadian border under new import regulations - but only 30% can pass through freely while the other 70% faces delays due to lack of compliance. This episode of the Simply Trade podcast examines Canada's CARM modernization project through discussions with trade experts Kim Campbell and Alan Dewar. CARM aims to digitize import processes but its new rules and requirements could impact supply chains. Main Topics: - Potential delays at the Canadian border as a high number of importers may not meet new registration, portal access, and financial security rules. This could back up supply chains. - Challenges individual "occasional" importers face in navigating CARM's complex compliance system, which was designed for large businesses. - Mandating aspects like requiring all importers use the portal and post financial security leaves no flexibility, according to advocates. - CARM takes a "one-size-fits-all" approach but international trade involves different scenarios that need accommodation. - Third party oversight is needed to address reported problems between CARM's developers and Canadian customs officials. This episode provides important insights into how Canada's new import regulations may impact businesses, as well as advocacy efforts underway to address CARM project issues. International traders should stay updated on regulatory changes that could disrupt supply chains. Enjoy the show!

Congress needs to change its excessive spending ways. Now is the time to do it. Why are so many Republicans afraid? The answer lies in the lobbyists. Rep. Matt Gaetz is one of a small few who are demanding we Congress get back to the basics. Single issue spending bills. No more money for Ukraine. Real Border Security. Yet he is being vilified for forcing the hand of the Washington Establishment. Even Fox News's Maria Bartiromo, a woman I have great respect for, went on the attack.

Luke 18:9-14The Pharisee and the Tax Collector9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed[a] thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.' 13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” 44-year-old female vegetarian MSNBC host is hospitalized for almost 10 days for heart inflammation, blames everything but the obvious cause; It was because of a cold, people.
