The Security box, podcast 57: the name game of Ransomware Gangs, Windows Update, and CSAM and apple products

The technology blog and podcast and TSB

Welcome to the security box, podcast 57. We have three topics for you today, and I hope that you will enjoy them. The first topic for this podcast will be talking about the name game of the ransomware gangs we have out there. The second topic which was totally forgotten is of course Windows Update and what is happening with that operating system. Finally, probably the most contravercial topic we have to date, Apple and how they're handling the images that people may have that are backed up in to icloud that deal with children and the potential of abusive images of a sexual nature. We will also have news notes and commentary as well, buckle up as you don't know what'll happen with these topics! The program may contain adult content, and listener disgression is advised.
