Dendritic cells have been known for decades to play a key role in the immune system, but early medical failures led many to believe they couldn't handle complex diseases like cancer. New research shows the problem wasn't the cells themselves, but a misunderstanding of how they work and recognize threats. When dendritic cells are used the right way, studies and patient results suggest the immune system may be far more powerful than we once thought.

In today's digital age, safeguarding your personal and financial information is more crucial than ever. With cyber threats growing more sophisticated and online platforms collecting more data than we often realize, the risk of identity theft, fraud, and privacy breaches continues to rise. Understanding how to protect yourself isn't just a best practice anymore; it's an essential skill for navigating modern life with confidence and security.

Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast. In today's digital age, safeguarding your personal and financial information is more crucial than ever. As your trusted financial institution, Triangle Credit Union is committed to providing you with the tools and knowledge needed to help protect your accounts. One of the most effective ways to enhance the security of your accounts - financial and non-financial - is to follow and maintain healthy password habits. Here are a few tips that can help you secure your accounts and help protect your personal information. Create Strong and Unique Passwords A strong password is your first line of defense against cyber threats. Follow these guidelines in creating a robust password: Length Matters: Aim for at least 12 characters. Longer passwords can be harder to crack. Mix It Up: Use a combination of upper-case and lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid Common Words: Steer clear of easily guessable words and phrases like "password," "123456," “Aa123456”, "qwerty" or any combination of these. Other common passwords include “admin”, “P@ssw0rd” and all ones or all zeros. Unique to Each Account: Use different passwords for different accounts. This way, if one password is compromised, your other accounts remain secure. Use a Password Manager Remembering multiple complex passwords can be challenging. A password manager can help you store and manage your passwords securely. These tools can generate strong passwords for you and automatically populate them when needed so that you don't have to remember each one. Remember to do your homework before you trust a third-party password manager application. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Multi-Factor Authentication, sometimes referred to as Two-Factor Authentication or 2FA, adds an extra layer of security by requiring two or more verification methods to access your account. This could be something you know (password), in combination with something you have (a smartphone or security token), or something you are (fingerprint or facial recognition). Enabling MFA can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your account by validating your identity through more than one authentication method when you log in. Regularly Update Your Passwords Changing your passwords periodically is a good security practice. Aim to update your passwords every three to six months. Regular updates can help protect your accounts from the impact of data breaches, if your username and password are ever compromised. If you receive a notification that your information could have been compromised, that's also a good reminder to update your passwords. Be Wary of Phishing Scams Phishing scams are fraudulent attempts to obtain your personal information by pretending to be a trustworthy entity. Be cautious of emails, messages, or websites that ask for your password or other sensitive information. Always verify the source before providing any details. By staying aware, you can avoid unwittingly providing your password (and access to your accounts) to scammers or identity thieves. At TCU your security is our top priority. By following these tips and creating healthy password habits, you can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your accounts. While cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving, remember that a strong password is your first line of defense. Stay vigilant and proactive in protecting your personal and financial information. Regularly checking your account activity can help you spot any unusual transactions or unauthorized access early. If you notice anything suspicious, contact us. If you have a Better Checking account you have access to a professional, certified Identity Theft Recovery Advocate who can work with you one-on-one to identify and resolve identity theft or fraud and return your identity and your accounts to pre-event status. And always remember never share your passwords with anyone! When fraudsters, claiming to be from your financial institution's fraud department, hang up the phone and call your credit union or bank to check on your accounts and report the fraud attempt. While we do call members occassionally to verify account activity, we will never ask for passwords to your accounts. For more information and resources on online security, please visit our website or contact our customer service team. We're here to help you stay safe and secure.

In this timely episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc is joined by Aamir Lakhani, Global Director of Threat Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence at Fortinet, for a deep and sobering conversation on the evolving cyber threat landscape facing retailers as they close out 2025 and prepare for 2026.Lakhani leads adversarial AI research within FortiGuard Labs, Fortinet's global R&D arm, where his team studies how cybercriminals—ranging from lone actors to state-sponsored groups—exploit technology, human behaviour, and increasingly, artificial intelligence. With Fortinet protecting over half of the world's firewall traffic, Lakhani brings unparalleled visibility into global cybercrime trends.A central theme of the discussion is the explosion of credential-based attacks, where hackers no longer “break in” but simply log in using stolen usernames and passwords. Lakhani explains how years of data breaches have enabled automated attacks across thousands of retail, banking, and corporate systems, often at massive scale. Two-factor authentication, passkeys, and password-less systems are no longer optional—they are table stakes.The conversation then turns to AI-driven fraud, which Lakhani describes as one of the most urgent threats retailers face today. From deepfake voice scams impersonating CEOs to hyper-personalized phishing attacks fueled by social media data, AI has dramatically lowered the cost and increased the sophistication of fraud. On a scale of concern, Lakhani rates AI fraud “off the charts.”LeBlanc and Lakhani also explore deceptive domains, poisoned AI shopping results, and the risks associated with buy-now-pay-later programs, which fraudsters increasingly exploit through urgency-based scams. Importantly, Lakhani emphasizes that cybersecurity is now a shared responsibility across platforms, retailers, and consumers—especially as many small and mid-sized retailers rely heavily on platforms like Shopify.Looking ahead to 2026, Lakhani offers clear guidance for retail leaders: invest in education, embrace AI-powered security tools, and do not shy away from automation. Cybersecurity, he argues, is no longer just an IT issue—it is a brand trust issue, a revenue protection issue, and a core leadership responsibility.

Farms today run more digital systems than ever before — GPS-guided equipment, grain accounting software, cloud-connected records, automated livestock and irrigation controls, and online financial tools. And that shift has put agriculture squarely into the Top 10 most-targeted industries for cyberattacks.In this episode, we sit down with Chris Sherman, founder of TechSupport.Farm, who specializes in helping farmers and ag businesses protect their operations from online threats. Chris breaks down why farms are becoming major hacker targets, the attacks he sees most often, and the simple ways producers can safeguard their data, their money, and their equipment.We explore real farm-level risks such as:Phishing emails disguised as invoices, USDA notices, or dealer updatesRansomware that locks up grain software, field maps, GPS data, or entire farm serversExtortion scams demanding bitcoinAttempts to infiltrate connected systems like grain dryers, feed mills, and irrigation controlsChris explains where farm data actually lives — on equipment, in cloud systems, or in software platforms — and what farmers need to understand about data ownership, platform security, and privacy.Then we move into practical, easy-to-apply cybersecurity steps every farm can start today:Creating strong password policies (12+ characters)Using password managersTurning on two-factor authenticationUpgrading email security with spam and phishing filtersSeparating home WiFi from business and equipment WiFiTracking who has login accessKeeping offline backups of critical filesTraining your family and employees to spot digital red flagsChris also shares real-world stories from farms he's helped — the scams that worked, the ones that were caught in time, and the mistakes he sees repeated across operations of all sizes.Whether you run a large operation or a small family farm, cybersecurity is now part of running the business.

The Cybersecurity Landscape in Austin In this episode, Alison Dixon shares insights into the fast-evolving cybersecurity environment in Austin, Texas. She discusses the rising importance of protecting both personal and corporate data amid growing cyber threats, emphasizing the dual challenge of convenience versus protection. Alison and Michael explore how AI complicates the landscape—accelerating innovation but also introducing new vulnerabilities. They underscore the urgent need for smarter, password-free security solutions and thoughtful tech adoption that prioritizes user safety. AI Integration with Intention Michael and Alison explore the importance of deliberate, strategic integration of AI into business operations. They agree that AI should serve genuine business value, not simply act as a marketing add-on. Clear processes and structured systems must precede AI adoption to avoid inefficiencies. Michael points out that transparency in AI systems, such as chatbots identifying themselves and providing human contact options, can significantly enhance customer trust. Both emphasize the need for balance, restraint, and purpose when embracing new technologies. Balancing AI Budgets and Cybersecurity Priorities The conversation turns to the tension between investing in AI and maintaining strong cybersecurity foundations. Alison warns that over-investing in AI while cutting cybersecurity budgets increases the risk of attacks like phishing and ransomware. Michael shares a real-life story about a senior manager's phone hack that illustrates the importance of vigilance and response protocols. Alison reinforces the need for proactive defenses and risk-reduction strategies rather than reactive training. AI Voice Scams and Public Awareness Michael recounts a growing trend of AI-driven voice scams, where criminals mimic loved ones' voices to exploit victims. He shares a case involving an elderly Toronto couple who lost nearly $100,000 to a voice fraud scheme, stressing the importance of using family “safe words” to verify identity. The discussion underscores how easily anyone—public figure or private citizen—can become a target, highlighting the growing sophistication of AI misuse. Human Factors and Preventive Strategies Alison and Michael discuss why human behavior remains the weakest link in cybersecurity. They argue that education alone is insufficient and that organizations should focus on eliminating risk exposure through stronger systems and policies. Practical steps such as multi-factor authentication, unique passwords, and an “assume it's fake” mindset can dramatically reduce vulnerability. Alison notes that leadership accountability and proactive system design are the true foundations of digital safety. The Role of Two-Factor Authentication and Holiday Vigilance In closing, Michael and Alison revisit the vital role of two-factor authentication (2FA). While it adds a few extra seconds to login, they agree it is a small price for peace of mind. They also caution that the holiday season often brings a spike in cyberattacks, as people let their guard down. Their message is clear: cybersecurity is not just about technology—it's about disciplined habits, awareness, and making security a leadership priority.

Mikah Sargent takes viewers on a comprehensive tour of the Passwords app in macOS Sequoia, demonstrating how this robust tool serves as a complete credential management system. From passkeys to verification codes and shared passwords, Mikah explores how Apple has created a secure yet user-friendly solution for managing all your login information across devices. Passkeys - These are created automatically when you set up passkey authentication on websites, with limited editing options but the ability to add notes or modify the associated website. Verification codes - Users can add two-factor authentication codes either by entering setup keys manually or scanning QR codes. Wi-Fi - The app stores Wi-Fi network credentials, displays network security information (WPA2/WPA3), and lets users generate QR codes for easy sharing. Security recommendations - The app alerts users when passwords may be compromised in data breaches using Apple's differential privacy techniques that protect user privacy. Password sharing feature - Users can create groups to share specific login credentials with family members or others, with granular control over which passwords are shared. Password importing - The app supports importing passwords from CSV files, though Mikah strongly recommends deleting these files immediately after import for security. Cross-device synchronization - All passwords sync across Apple devices with end-to-end encryption via iCloud. Windows compatibility - Even Windows users can access their passwords through the iCloud Passwords app, making it a versatile solution.
