    The Security Box, AI and its usage

    Hello folks, welcome to another edition of The Security Box. This week’s program focuses on AI and its usage, where it’s helping, where it’s being misused, and where the risks are starting to show up in real-world security, privacy, and accessibility scenarios. AI continues to move fast, and not always in ways users understand or consent to. We’ll talk about how AI is being deployed, what assumptions are being made on behalf of users, and where responsibility still needs to remain firmly human. As part of this discussion, we may touch on: AI in everyday consumer tools and services Security and privacy implications of AI-driven systems Automation vs. accountability Accessibility impacts — where AI helps and where it creates new barriers The growing gap between marketing claims and real-world behavior As always, this is a discussion-driven program. Topics may evolve as the conversation unfolds, and recent events or examples may be referenced as part of the broader AI landscape. If you’d like to support what we’re doing, you can: Donate to the network Subscribe to The Security Box discussion list Reach out using the contact information mentioned during the program or available on the blog We do have videos that will be mixed within the program from Nick Espinoza which include the following : AI regulation arriving Governments Shouldnt Use AI For Pics & Vids Microsofts Backdoor Into Our Encryption... Tesla Cars = Super Hackable! We Are Never Getting Rid Of Deepfakes Your Breaches of the Week! January 12 to January 18, 2026 Your Breaches of the week, January 26, 2026 to February 1, 2026 Thanks for listening, reading, and learning with us. We can’t do this alone — and we appreciate you being part of the conversation.

    Sans covers the newsletter for January 9, 2026

    Hello gang, welcome to another Sans Podcast. I know we're quite behind, and my goal was to do these podcasts between TSB episodes, but the week of the 17th had two meetings, one of which went to a second meeting I decided to stay for. For those who are not clear by this, the two meetings I were to attent happened on two different days, but then one meeting I stayed for happened on the first day and it isn't a regular meeting I stay for. This podcast is going to cover the newsletter that was released way back on January 9th, 2026. My goal is to get us caught up, and I'm going to do my best. Would you like to read the newsletter? Here is the link to read January 9, 2026 and its newsletter if you wish. I believe one of the biggest stories may be this web page California residents can go to so they can opt out of stuff. Let's see what is in the top of the news. California's New Privacy Law Lets Consumers Submit One Demand for All Registered Data Brokers to Stop Collecting Their Information Threat Actor’s Breach was a Resecurity Honeypot Hospitality Staff, Beware ClickFix Attacks that Mimic BSOD Here is what they covered for the rest of the week's news for this newsletter. Cisco Releases Updates for ISE and Snort 3 Distributed Computing Environment/Remote Procedure Call Vulnerabilities n8n Releases Patches for Two Critical Vulnerabilities in One Week Veeam Update Addresses Four Vulnerabilities CISA KEV Adds Code Injection Vulnerabilities in HPE OneView and Microsoft Office PowerPoint Critical Missing Authentication Vulnerability in WHILL Electric Wheelchairs European Space Agency Acknowledges Infosec Breach I hope you all enjoy the program as much as I am bringing it to you, and make it a great day!

    6 ransomware strains decrypted, hundreds arrested, no end in site?

    Hello folks, welcome to the next TSB, pprogram 266. This week, we are going to talk about a 2025 story dealing with hundreds being detained and several ransomware strains being decrypted through tools available to the public. The blog post leads to the article. The blog is titled 6 ransomware strains decrypted, hundreds detained which sparked some comment last podcast. As part of discussion: Here we go again with more domains being registered, sits there with possible plans should be read from our November diatribes list. We do have videos from Nick Espinosa which include items like the world cup being invaded by AI, breaches of the week, mobile phones being not very secure soon, and a question: Why does your supermarket need your biometrics? Preston Gaylor is along with comments as well. When we were looking at blogs and articles, we saw something about a CSAM article that talked about a suspect who was involved in CSAM and actually getting some substantial jail time. CSAM suspect jailed for close to 10 years is the blog post where I take this article apart. Now to our question from last podcast. Did you get it correct? The question last week was: Let’s get this Monday moving, Jared. You know how sometimes a name change can make everything feel new? Like when The Artist Formerly Known as Prince became a symbol, or when Dunkin’ ditched “Donuts” and got all minimalist on us. Well, Mark Zuckerberg had a major rebrand moment, too, swapping out “Facebook” for “Meta” to match his metaverse vision. But in doing so, he triggered an awkward translation situation. Meta, in Hebrew, means what? A) Chaos, B) Nightmare, C) Dead or D) Broken. The answer is chilling at the end. The answer: C) “Dead.” When Zuckerberg swapped “Facebook” for “Meta,” he might’ve been thinking “next-gen digital frontier,” but Hebrew speakers heard something closer to a funeral announcement. “Meta” sounds like the feminine form of the Hebrew word for “dead” (“מתה”), sparking a wave of memes and mock headstones. Congrats to those who got this right! See you on another podcast coming soon and make it a great day!

    The Security box, podcast 265: This is an open forum

    Welcome to TSB, episode 265. The Trivia Question this time is: Let’s get this Monday moving, Jared. You know how sometimes a name change can make everything feel new? Like when The Artist Formerly Known as Prince became a symbol, or when Dunkin’ ditched “Donuts” and got all minimalist on us. Well, Mark Zuckerberg had a major rebrand moment, too, swapping out “Facebook” for “Meta” to match his metaverse vision. But in doing so, he triggered an awkward translation situation. Meta, in Hebrew, means what? A) Chaos, B) Nightmare, C) Dead or D) Broken. The answer is chilling at the end. Please feel free to call and leave your guess at (888) 405-7524 and give us your name or name you want to go by as well as your guess. Since we've been gone, we're trying to catch up the blog with podcast announcements with full length show notes of past programs including Sans and TSB. Also, as we announced, we're going to change this show to every two weeks. We're doing this because this will give us more time to find something to talk about, but yet we won't feel burned out. Here are things we might talk about during this open edition of the program. Here we go … another click fix attack Update on Crypto Currency thefts and an old breach Covenant Health is covered in recent breaches of the week The Stupid f***s of the year Diatribes of 2025 Disney to pay a pretty penny for Coppa violations Health breaches and denmark goes digital? 6 ransomware strains decrypted, hundreds detained
