All right, we got a thumbs up, we got a shaky head, all right, all right, all right, guys. Listen, the reason that audio is always an issue, and by the way, quick shout out to James O'Quiggan, Dan Reardon, Jenny Housley, the Mod teams, and all of you for chilling. The good news is there was music, so you were entertained, right?
This is not the movie Gladiator with Russell Crowe, where I'm walking around with no mic, asking if you are not entertained. Listen, guys, thanks so much for bearing with me on that one. There's just a lot going on when we set up the mobile studio. Guys, real quick, if you're looking to stay current on the soft cyber news, you're in the right place. Grab your coffee, get good going. We're off and running now that we have full audio. Simply Cyber, Daily Cyber Threat Brief, see ya!
All right, guys, for real though, we are here for the next hour. We're gonna be going through the top cyber news stories of the day. I will go through each of them. I'll give you obviously the top high level, basically the headline for each story and kind of the two seconds blurb that you need. The thing that you would read on the train or in the elevator on the back of the fold, above the fold. But what is the benefit of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief? Well, not only do you get to hang out with people like James McQuaggen and BergSS, Phil Stafford, Brewmaster Bort, Steve Young, Not Only IT, AdTech, Emmanuel and so many other like-minded professionals, but I love taking my 20 plus... Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Did we just become best friends? Yep.

Space Taco's dropping a super chat here. She says, sad news, they chose another applicant for the Auditor 2 role. Thanks for all the good vibes, Team SC, GRC Mafia, GRC Nerd Herd. I appreciate the support. Space Taco's, I am... My heart goes out to you, I feel, I know how excited you were for that position. I would assume that you are absolutely qualified for that position. And, you know, the fact that they went with another applicant is absolutely zero reflection of you. I will say, again, I don't know if you're looking for this, Space Taco's or not, you're probably not, but I always seem to give unsolicited feedback. I'm a huge fan, even though it does suck, and even though it does hurt, and even though it does disappoint, I always love to see some kind of like, either I win or I learn something. So hopefully the interview experience and reaching for that order to give you some benefit or some professional development in some capacity. Also, hopefully your boss isn't on Space Taco's, but clearly you're ready for that role. So maybe you look externally, unless your boss is on the phone, then I'm just kidding. All right, guys, we're going to go deep. I'm going to use my 20 plus years of experience to give you additional insights and value that you wouldn't get anywhere else. Classrooms, textbooks, it's not happening because unfortunately, you got to sit in the seat sometimes to learn certain things. And that's how it goes. So we're going to be doing that. It is Monday. Every single day of the week has a special segment. And Mondays is Simply Cyber's Community Member of the Week. We love recognizing our own members. I give them a $100 Amazon gift card, which is always great. I do have a teaser for you guys. A teaser coming up, we are going to be launching a new merch shop with all sorts of cool stuff in it. And I'll be able to give out free gifts and merch stuff like that from the merch store. But stay tuned for that. Details on that coming out, you know, I guess at the end of the month, when we get closer to launching. If you're here for the first time, holler at you, drop a hashtag first timer. Hashtag first timer. Marcus Kyler is bullcrap when it comes to Space Tacos getting not selected.
There we go. I do feel you, Marcus Kyler, and I'm with you Space Tacos. I wanted you to get it. I was like, I was super pumped. I made it a subplot storyline for the show.
Oh my God. If you're here for the first time, drop a hashtag first timer in chat. Please hashtag first timer in chat. We love welcoming our first timers. We have a special sound effect. We have a special emote. We love making this experience fun for you, whether it's day one or day 300
