Daily Cyber Threat Brief

Alright, good morning everybody. Welcome to the party. Today is Tuesday, August 4th, 2026. This is episode 1188. I believe we're skipping 187 due to an indexing issue. I'm your host, Dr. Gerald Ogier. This is Simply Cyber's Daily Cyber Threat Brief podcast. A little off today, but we're going to work through it.

If you want to stay current on the top cyber news while engaging with like-minded professionals in the most way that is epic ever, then you're in the right place. Get comfortable. Get some coffee. I have coffee in a plastic cup, which is like scolding hot to touch. So I'm ready. Are you? Let's get into the news.

This is...G-ster's a long timer and is well aware of how kidnapped I do look.

The thing is, I could turn on an accent light in the back which would balance the levels perfectly, but I am in a hotel room in Las Vegas and I am sharing the hotel room with my love of my life. So I'm trying to be relatively respectful when it comes to lighting audio. I can't really control that too much. So I definitely appreciate that and want to...oh wait, hold on one second. Look at this. Look at this picture down here. This is ridiculous.
