• 0:00
  Speaker 1: As the talk station.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: One FIFTU about RCD Talks Station. Brian Thomas right here
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: always looking forward to this moment in time. During the
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: fifty five KRSC Morning Show, because it's time for Tech Friday,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: brought to you sponsored by a great company, asked the
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: business courier, who's the best in the business in terms
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: of dealing with businesses computer needs and get the amount of troubles.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: It's in trust it that is Dave Hatter's company, interesst
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: dot com is where you find them online. Welcome back,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Dave Hatter. And your name came up like eight times
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: yesterday talking to my mom having more struggles with apps.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Mom thinks apps for the answer, and I just said, listen,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: just start for the proposition you are at a technological disadvantage.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: You don't understand the tech. And then couple with the
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: fact that there is a giant cluster of either criminals
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: or nefarious types out there that want to try to
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: exploit you one way or another, either by stealing your
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: money or getting your data. That's what apps help them do.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Don't do it, I mean, just don't do it.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: It's a simple default role.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I said, unless you can come up with enough pro
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: for downloading the app that negate those two starting points,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: then it's probably not worth it.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Well, first off, are's always thanks for having me on
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: and the secondarily, you know, I agree with your basic premise.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: You know, I tell people this all the time, despite
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: thirty years in tech, more than twenty five years as
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: a programmer building software apps. If you will, I have
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: the minimum number of apps on my phone. I have
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: an Apple phone. Apple tends to be more privacy and
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: security friendly than Android, but they're not without their flaws, folks. Okay,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: it's just it's a question of can I get into
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: a more privacy and security friendly situation, and that's primarily
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: driven by their business model. You know, Apple sells hardware
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: and software. Google basically buys and sells your data. As
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: a matter of fact, just to segue, while I was
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: loading something up to get ready for this, I mean
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Google to pay eight point twenty five million dollars to
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: settle lawsuit alleging children's privacy violations. There's just a headline
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: for you I happen to see. So back to my phone,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I have the apps that came on my Apple phone,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: and I've probably installed may be six apps that did
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: not come on the phone. Most of them are related
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: to my job, and I have things like LinkedIn which
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I use on a regular basis primarily related to my
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: job as well. So yes, less apps better generally speaking
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: for most people, especially if you're not real privacy and
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: tech savvy.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: So than thank you very much. Mom, I told you,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and I knew Dave you doubled down on that. I'm
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: just trying to keep her out of trouble, that's all.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: And you know, there's always another source for information out
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: there that doesn't involve loading your phone up with something
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: like a simple Internet search like what's Cincinnati weather going
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: to be like over the next several days? Anyway, Artificial
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: intelligence crazy stuff we use chat GPT. This morning, I
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: had Joe churn out a country music song about a
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: guy with a naked guy with a harp that was
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: from the stack of stupid. In about two seconds, he
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: had a three minute song, four versus and a chorus.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: It was hilarious. He's going to post it on the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Morning show page. But we have deep fakes form of
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: explicit content. They're using these AI programs to create pornography,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: sometimes involving children. You know how lawmakers apparently want to
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: do something about it, Davis, can they.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Well that's a really good question, thank you. So deep
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: deep when it comes to AI, you and I have
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: been talking about deep fakes for a long long time now,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: because it was really one of the first places where
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: you could see significant potential problems coming from this technology. Right,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: deep fakes have been around for a long time. It's
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: the idea that I can create a photo, I can
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: create a video, I can create an audio some combination
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: of all of the above that increasingly looks unbelievably real
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: or sounds unbelievably realistic. Right. So, again, this concept is
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: not new, but as the technology gets better and better
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: and better and again, to kind of segue off into
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: a different, different article here, Whired Dredda ran a story
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: recently Google and open AI's chatbots can strip women in
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: photos down to their bikinis. So kind of related, right, yeah,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: because a deep fake can be I just want to
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: edit one thing and existing photo to you know, change
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: its context, change its meaning. Like this WCPO story where
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: they show Ohio State Representative Adam Matthews, who's apparently a Republican,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: standing near a sign that says jd Vance and then
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: AI was manipulated us. It was used to manipulate that photo.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: And I mean, honestly, looking at the photo, you know
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: now he's standing next to a Harris sign. I don't
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: There's no way I would be able to tell the
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: difference between these two photos just looking at it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Right, About how lawmakers come up with legislation that's going
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to allow them to determine what's real and what's not.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know, Brian, that's a really good question.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, theoretically, you could say that you have to
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: put some kind of watermark in something if you use
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: AI on it. But here's the thing. Bad people, especially
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: bad people, bad actors offshore in other countries that want
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: to sow chaos and dissension in this country aren't going
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: to follow those laws. You know. Could you pass a
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: law that says you could be penalized for this. Could
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: you pass the law that tries to hold these companies responsible.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, you get into the same kind of situation,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: you know, with it's a little different because let's just say, Facebook, TikTok,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: whatever isn't creating certain content necessarily, it's allowing people to
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: post it. Whereas whereas these tools are actually creating things
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: from whole cloth. But offhand, I'm not really sure. Again,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: other than requiring some kind of disclaimer water mark something
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: that would say this came from some AI platform, I
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: don't really know how you would do that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think we've reached that moment in time
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: We've been talking about day where you know, you're not
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: going to believe your own eyes anymore. You can't believe
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: eyes done.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: We're past that. Yeah, that those days are over. I
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: mean you can't assume that anything you see or hear
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: at this point hasn't either been altered or created entirely
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: by AI. And the technology gets better.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Well, much in the same way you can't control some
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: idiot from putting a headline on a newspaper saying that
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: ice detained a five year old boy in an ice
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: raid when that never even happened. You know, people are
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: gonna make stuff up, and they're gonna do it for
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: their own political interest, nefarious or political, or whatever other
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: reason they've got. And just start not believing what you
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: see and quit taking everything for granted that it's real.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: We'll bring Dave Hatter back. Hundreds of millions of audio
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: devices need a pat six about KRC de talk station
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Brian Thomas with intrust it dot COM's Dave Hatter. Nice figure,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Dave Hatter. Joe Striker put up the link for this
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: discussion on the blog pagment Do you have KRC dot com?
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: That's that? That is your figure, isn't it?
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Are we talking about the photo of me? I haven't
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: looked at your blog this year?
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Now I'm just taking you on my listening audience. That
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: actually is a real picture of Dave Hatter. You can
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: tell Edie.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to see it. Hold it up here
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: while we're chatting.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Also, try to generate traffic over the fifty five KRC
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: dot com page so they check you out and then
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: can hear what you have to say.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Anyhow, sorry to take you down that road.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Hundreds of millions of audio devices apparently need a patch.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: What's this one all about? Is this kind of like
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: a Bluetooth thing?
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Yes? It is, and really it gets back to the
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: point though to some extent you made about your mom.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: One of the reasons why the less apps you have,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: the less so called smart devices you have, is the
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: less risk you have by exposure through these kinds of flaws. Okay, So,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: just as a reminder, folks, an app is nothing but software.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: A so called smart device has software in it. You know,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: you've heard me, and if you pay any attention to
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: this sector at all, people like me talk about patching
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: your software over and over and over, right, the patch
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Tuesday for Microsoft, all these sort of things. Right, if
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: something has software in it, your car, your doorbell, your refrigerator,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: your thermostat, whatever, guaranteed, because human beings wrote that software,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: it will have bugs, will have flaws that allow bad
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: guys to potentially exploit the software to attack the device
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: and then potentially other devices. So again, the less of
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: this stuff you have, the less exposure you have to
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: this kind of risk. So in this case, apparently Google, Now,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: as you know, Brian, I generally try to avoid things
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: from Google, so this isn't really a problem for me.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: But apparently they created something called fast pair, which is
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: a protocol to allow you to basically with one tap
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: connect to you or Bluetooth devices to Android devices, Chrome books,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: that sort of thing. Okay, So, and this is the
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: biggest part of this problem in my mind. So much
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: of these things do make your life easier and more
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: convenient to a point, right as you and I discuss.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've been on this earth for fifty plus years.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Most of it I didn't have any of this stuff,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: and I've done just fine. So I understand the wow
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: factor of some of this stuff. I understand the convenience
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: factor of some of this stuff. And again, you know
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: I want to have to go through fifteen steps to
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: hook up my wireless headphones. No, if I can just
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: press one button. But pressing the one button requires more software,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: more software because it's more guarantees, more bugs, more flaws,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: more patching, etc. And So my bigger point of all
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: of this is again your ring doorbell, your nest thermostat
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: all of these things have software in them. If you
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: don't know how to configure it correctly, if you don't
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: know how to update it, and probably of equal importance,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: when they stop putting out updates for it because they've
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: moved on to a new product, there's risk for you.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: So this particular case again Google fast Pair. There are
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: millions of devices out there that use this, and apparently
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: there's a fairly significant flaw. Numerous outlets have written about this.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: So let me just to start the fast pair process.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: A seeker phone sends a message to the provider and
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: accessory indicating it wants to pair. The fast pair specification
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: states that the accessory is not in pairing mode, it
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: should disregard the message. Some devices fail to check this,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: allowing on authoriss devices to start the pairing process. After
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: receiving reply, an attacker can finish the fast pair procedure,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: establishing a regular Bluetooth pairing Now, is this the greatest
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: thing in the world or the greatest flaw in the world.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Is a hacker going to be able to sit down
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: the street from you and potentially attack your devices, get
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: to your computer, get into your work environment or your bank,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: and steal all your money. Probably not, because Bluetooth has
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: a real You have to be fairly close for a
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Bluetooth device to work. In most cases it's around thirty
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: three feet, maybe a little longer, depends on all kinds
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: of environmental conditions. The big thing for me, though, is
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: this is just another example that shows you. Do you
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: think the average person even knows this is a flaw,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: And if they do, do you think they know their
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: devices might have it? And even if they do, do
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: you think they know how to fix it or will
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: the device even support fixing it. And the longer you
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: go without fixing a flaw in your devices, whatever that
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: might be, the more exposure you have because more bad
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: actors will learn about the flaw, and depending on what
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: it is and how it can be accessed, it creates
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: risk for you and your family, your business, your work, etc.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: So if you have Google devices, I suggest you look
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: into this. It would be good to patch these flaws.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: But again, in many cases this is some sort of
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: third party headphones or something. It's a tricky one, but
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: it gets to the heart of what I keep trying
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: to tell people all the time. All of this stuff
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: does not but it does not favor the consumer right.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: It's speed to market, market share, ease of use. The
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: stuff goes out of life soon, meaning it doesn't get
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: updates from the vendor. You don't know how to set
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: it up right, you don't know how to keep it updated,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: you don't know when it goes into life. The less
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: of this stuff you have until the business model changes,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: the better off you will be. And this is just
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: yet another of dozens and dozens and dozens of these examples.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Why the less so called smart devices apps et cetera.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: You have the better off.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: You are, Amen, underscore in bold underline, Tell your friends
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: and neighbors six forty seven. Right now one more with
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: intrust its Dave Hatter. Now we can hear from corner
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: sixty two fifty five KERCIT talkstation Brian Thomas with Dave Hatter.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Interest It dot com is where you find him, and
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: also on LinkedIn. You go to LinkedIn dot com just
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: search for Dave Hatter. He has all the articles that
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: he talks about during this segment of the program, and
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: that's some It's a worthy endeavor to stay up with
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: him throughout the week as well. Chinese hackers again at
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Chinese Communist Party up to no Good again, Dave Hatter, Yeah.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I know this is a chocker, Brian. And also, you know,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: all this stuff we talk about on here, I'm sharing
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: on X two if X is easier for people, but
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm trying to throughout them week put out
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: as much information about this stuff that I think will
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: be helpful for people, to help people understand the risks
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: and hopefully make smarter decisions. Because at the end of
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: the day, Brian, if you make a risk informed decision,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: you understand what you're signing up for with all this stuff.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: You read the terms of service, the privacy policy, all
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: of which, as you know, will be eighty page legal
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: mumbo jumbo confuse opoly, and you decide to proceed. Well,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: you're an adult, okay, have at it exactly right. But
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: my issue was all of this stuff at the end
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: of the day really is again it does not favor
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: the consumer, as I mentioned in the last segment, and
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: most people don't really understand the risk, both the cybersecurity
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: risk or the privacy risk of this stuff. So with
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: all of that said, yeah, here we are again. Probably
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: in the last five or six years, you and I
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: have discussed this pretty much relentlessly because it just keeps
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: hitting the news. Right, So headline Chinese hackers targeting high
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: value North American critical infrastructure, Cisco says for people who
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: don't know, you know, Cisco is one of the largest
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: and oldest major tech companies out there. They make a
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: lot of the equipment that powers the Internet and the
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: networking infrastructure that makes this work, switches, routers, et cetera.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: So you know this are these are people that know
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: what they're talking about. Is my point. Again. Cisco has
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: been around for a long time, and you know, in
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: the business from an enterprise grade professional standpoint, they're you know,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: one of the vendors chosen most often by people. So
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: we've heard DHS warn't about this, we'd we've heard FBI
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: warn't about this, we've heard scission worn about this. Sciss
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, part of DHS.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: I have been trying to explain to people for a
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: long time. When the Internet was originally designed back in
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: the late sixties and early seventies, right, the underlying protocols,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: the technologies that make it work were not designed with
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: security in mind. Right, they were disclad they could make
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: it work at all. Over time, as it's expanded and
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: people have loaded more and more stuff on the Internet,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: and now we basically live in this digital world, all
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: powered by the technology that drives the Internet. I mean,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: you don't even really hear people talk about the internet
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: first say anymore. And internet really just means internetwork, right,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: A network connected to another network connected to another network.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: That's really all it is. All these different networks that
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: are connected. They all use the same protocols or rules
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: to talk to each other, and all of that stuff
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: again was designed back at a time when security was
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: not a concern. So you know, fast forward to now
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: you've got all this mission critical stuff. Our entile society
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: runs off of this. And while you can apply security
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: to this, typically you're trying to retro fit it in.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: It's creating friction, It creates costs that causes problems. Right,
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: So you've got a situation too, where as you stack
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: more and more stuff on this going back to the
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: point I made before, more and more software, more and
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: more flaws, it creates opportunities for people that really understand
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: how this stuff works to try to exploit these flaws,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: to try to exploit the inherent vulnerabilities in this stuff
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: if it's not hatched and it's not set up correctly. Right,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: And this is just another example. So here from this article,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Chinese hackers successfully breached multiple critical infrastructure organizations in North
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: America over the last year. You're using a combination of
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: compromised credentials and exploitable servers. Researchers at Cisco Talos foun
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Tellos is their security focus group. They research this stuff,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: they look for flaws, they try to help other vendors
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: fix these problems. Now there's two key points there. Exploitable servers.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: That's the it's not patched, it doesn't have the latest updates,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: it's not set up correctly, it has an inherent flaw
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: that can't be patched because it's too old and it
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: needs to be replaced. But compromise credentials. This gets back
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: to people use bad passwords. They use the same bad
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: passwords across multiple systems. They don't use multi factor authentication
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: or other technologies that can make it more difficult to
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: log in, hence account takeover attacks. So even though I
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: talk about this stuff calin blue in the face, you know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: you see these examples out in the real world. Now,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: is it bad, Brian? If hackers do an account takeover
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: because you have a bad password and know MFA, get
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: into your company email and eventually steal all your money
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: and put you out of business, Yeah, that's pretty bad.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: But is it Is it even worse when they can
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: get into the electrical grid or the water systems, or
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: let's say, uh, you know, some railroads somewhere and cause
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: a train full of chlorine gas to derail. Yeah, that's
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: a lot worse.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: We call that a rhetorical question. Dave we're out of time,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: my friend. You want to sum it up the critical
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: infrastructure critically.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: We gotta fix it, Brian gott to fix.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: It priority number one for all elected officials from local
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: to federal. That's the bottom line. Yes, Dave had our
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: intrust it dot com. Where you find him and his
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: crew for your business computer needs. Find him at LinkedIn
