Episode Details

Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jeff Gamet, Jim Rea, Web Bixby, and Eric Bolden put cybersecurity first in a discussion about why a surprisingly high percentage of those warned of password vulnerabilities simply ignore the notice, or are unaware of what to do. They also look at a hacker who demonstrated a laughable lack of judgement, and one company's new view of AI training on the music front.
