We’re both back this week to bring you more low quality coverage of high quality topics. Javvad, spurred on by the threat of being permanently replaced by a rock, really adds some good insights to the topics this week.

 

We discuss the documents leaked from the Intel portal and the risks associated with the supply chain: https://www.zdnet.com/article/intel-investigating-breach-after-20gb-of-internal-documents-leak-online/

We then continue on to chat about the impact of leaked documents from the UK government: https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-russia-hack-exclusive/exclusive-papers-leaked-before-uk-election-in-suspected-russian-operation-were-hacked-from-ex-trade-minister-sources-idUKKBN24Z1UL

Finally, we discuss the unprotected Zoom hearing for the Twitter hacker, which allowed all participants to screen share, and how nobody could have possibly predicted that it might be impacted by shenanigans: https://www.itpro.co.uk/software/video-conferencing/356680/teenage-twitter-hackers-virtual-trial-is-zoom-bombed

Today, with the help of a stand in for Javvad, we celebrate the 21st annual Sysadmin Day. 

Sysadmins have a rough life and it is only fitting that we stop being cruel to them at least 1 day of each year. This is that day, so go find a sysadmin, give them a big hug and softly whisper something nice in their ear*.  

*Seriously folks, DON’T do this. Maybe offer to buy them lunch or a frosty beverage after work instead. They really do deserve it.

Also, people are falling for silly stuff due to the hype, so as a public service, Javvad tells us about a device meant to save us from the 5G’s.
