**Dr. Gerald Auger** (0:01)
All right, good morning, everybody. Welcome to the party. Today is Monday, September 14th, 2026, this is Simply Cyber's Daily Cyber Threat Brief. I am 80 percent of your host, Dr. Gerald Auger, coming to you live. Live, although I feel dead, from the Buffer Auger Flow Studio here in beautiful South Carolina. Good thing this is remote and virtual, because you do not want what I'm cooking right now. If you're looking to stay current on the top Cyber News stories of the day while getting educated, entertained, and not sick, well, this virtual experience is your ticket to ride. So do me a favor, get comfortable, get your coffee, get your night quill, and get settled in, because we are off and running. Let's go.
All right. Welcome. Good morning, everybody. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Thank you. Sierra, thank you, everybody. Good morning over on LinkedIn Nelson. Guys, I'm fine. I'm just sick, right? Like when you're sick, sometimes you got to go to work, right? And that's what we're doing here. It's no big deal. I'll be fine. I just slow start and probably go back to bed after the show. Guys, over the next hour, and me, you and Marcus Kyler, Malware, Trini Neckbeard, James E. One, truly original and Code Brew, among others. Gabriel Yeager, good to see you. We're going to go through the top cyber news stories of the day. We'll give you the headline and the surface level part of the story that you need to know. And then, we will, I'll go beyond the headlines, like fog brain, and give you the top insights on that story. And we'll see what happens, right? Thanks, Leemurr, for the kind words. Thanks, Kai Seifer.
All right. So we got eight stories. It's all good. If you're here for the first time, do me a solid. Let us know with a hashtag first timer in the chat. The hashtag first timer in the chat.

If you didn't know, the newsletter, which I think...
If you guys didn't know, we have a newsletter here at Simply Cyber. Many of you have been getting this thing for quite some time. Chuck Sapp was doing it for a number of years for the community. Recently, Chuck... Chuck...
I took the reins back or whatever you want to say. Chuck did a great job. It's just time for a little change. And I took the opportunity to change the format of the newsletter. So if you didn't know, I'm just letting you know in case maybe you used to do it and you stopped doing it because you were like, oh, whatever, it's not super valuable or whatever. Now, I actually record a video on Sunday night, which is funny because I felt good when I recorded that video. And it was right after that that my health kind of went down. But if you're interested, go check it out, Simply Cyber I own newsletter. Thanks Sierra Montgomery. Basically, it's the new format is like a video for me, kind of like a little bit of personal update, professional update on something that I think you need to know about. And then a cool tool that's out there and then call out to it. We still have some actionable intel from a new story from the previous week, so we didn't get rid of that value. The tool this week was a really, really fun O-Sint tool that is good for everybody. So go check out that newsletter. Daily Cyber Threat Brief is not possible without support and contributions from the stream sponsors. Let me tell you about ThreatLocker. ThreatLocker is the world's leading Zero Trust Platform. Their ethos is allow what you need, deny everything else, very simple, straightforward, solid product. Enterprise grade because they go beyond just application denied by default, which is what their bread and butter was based on. But they've expanded that to Zero Trust Network architecture, privileged access management, cloud, SaaS app broker, control, hardware like device allowing. So like if someone gets your creds, but they don't have your laptop, they can't access stuff on the network. It's a very, very cool product. Go check it out at threatlocker.com. Just a reminder, I'll be in Charlotte in October, October 15th. I'll be in Charlotte at ThreatLocker lunch thing. It's not a paid gig or anything. It's just they asked me to go. I said, sure.
