Dr. Gerald Auger (0:01)

Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the party. Today is Tuesday, September 15th, 2026 This is your Simply Cyber Daily Cyber Threat Brief podcast. Coming to you live from the Buffer Auger Flow Studio. I'm your host, Dr. Gerald Auger.

Operating at 80% today. If you were here yesterday, show, I was probably at like 35% in the red, right? Dungeon Caller Carl, my life bar is blinking. But I'm feeling better today. I do want to say to everybody, thank you so very much. It is heartwarming and just like kind of like a virtual hug for the amount of people who sent the nicest notes along about my well-being and speedy recovery. So don't think it does not go unnoticed. Thank you all so much for that. But do me a favor, sit back. Well, no, hold on. See, my brain's got fog.

Lock in, get your coffee. We're off and running.

All right. What's up, everybody? Dealing with my LG TV back here. I don't know if you guys saw all the news about how the LG TV's are basically spying on you now, or always have been. I just got to... I don't know my music, bro. Hold on, why did that stop? Computer?

Oh my god, bro. I'm not going to sign up for all you stupid agreements right now. Guys, what's up, everybody? Welcome to the show. Over the next hour, we're going to go through the top eight stories of the day. I'm going to break them down, give you the surface level, the high level title, and everything you would get from doom scrolling on your phone. But then the whole beauty of this show among, I would argue this show has multiple value propositions, but the one that I always like to remind people is that we go beyond the headlines. We want this to be valuable to you as a practitioner, as an individual, regardless of what level you are, junior, mid, senior. So we go beyond the headlines and we dial in insights and additional value that you're just not going to get, really anywhere else.

Like guys, we're all, I know there's a lot of children who like listening in the kitchen and dealing with it. Even the kids know, you know, like when you're sick, it sucks. You're not sleeping well, you're sweating. Yesterday, I had to go stand outside, which for the first time ever in the 17 years, I lived in the low country. Was it amazing that it was like super hot and humid out? I like went outside with like a sweatshirt on and just stood there because I was shivering. Just let the heat soak into me.
