Episode Details

Microsoft's April 2024 security updates have caused significant disruptions, including VPN connection failures and NTLM authentication issues, across various Windows versions such as Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2008 and later. Users have reported experiencing connectivity issues and potential security vulnerabilities due to these problems. 

Marriott's admission of using outdated SHA-1 hashing instead of encryption during a 2018 data breach reveals a significant oversight in their forensic investigations. This revelation came to light during a court case where Marriott falsely claimed to have used encryption to secure their data, raising questions about their security measures and forensic processes. 

Pax8 recently announced a leadership transition with Scott Chazen appointed as the new CEO, taking over from John Street who stepped down.
