All right, what's up, everybody? Good morning. It's Thursday, September 24th. Hope you're feeling good. I'm feeling great. This is Simply Cyber's Daily Cyber Threat Brief Podcast. I am your host, Dr. Gerald Auger, coming to you live from the Lowcountry on location at the Buffer Auger Flow Studio. And today, we're gonna be ripping through the top cyber news stories of the day, and I'll be giving you my opinion and analysis on each of those stories, leveling you up to absolutely slay the day. So get your coffee, get comfortable. We're off and running.

All right. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Good morning to everybody. It's great to see you today on this glorious day. Standing up, feeling good. Coffee flowing through the veins. I hope you are in a similar situation. What's up? Talk to the hand. Jim Wales is in the house. Good to see you, as always. James McQuiggan at 35,000. OpSecCharlie in the house. My man, Nerman. Hello, Nerman. There he is. Who doesn't love a good Nerman in the morning? Code Brew, you know, Code Brew, handling the moderation of people over on YouTube. It's great to see you guys. Just absolutely celebrating the day. If you're new here or you're not sure how this program works, let me break it down for you quite simply. Over the next hour, me, you and Port Zero, Marcus Kyler, Tom Lavin and the entire Buffalo Bills are going to be ripping across the top eight cyber stories of the day. We'll give you the surface level headline and details that you need, of course, just like you would consume with any other cyber news podcast, but then we make it a threat brief where I'll take that story, go beyond it, give you insights, techniques, tools, things that you can use to help level you up and reduce risk for your organization today or be able to improve your cybersecurity career. We've got countless number of professionals in the chat and in the community here to help you. Yes, it is a meme day. Every single day of the week on the Daily Cyber Threat Brief has a special event. And as you can see, the Haircut Fish celebrating nearly four years of support for Simply Cyber Squad member Dan does What's Your Meme Thursday. And Dan has a custom meme that he makes every single week for us. And I'm excited. I don't censor it. All I do is get to see it beforehand because, you know, obviously I have to pull it up. So stay tuned for that. That will be at the mid roll. James O'Quiggin at 35,000 feet with 45 months squad membership. Wow, almost four years. What an amazing journey. It continues to be so excited to be part of this community and honored to help where I can. And you certainly do that quite a bit, James O'Quiggin, helping everybody out. We got another blue badge in the house. Bro Neil, member 15 months. He says, Good morning, hashtag team SC. Normally audio only, but happy to be joining live, not in the car.

Great to have you here, Bro Neil. Also, thanks for the support. And Bro Neil, I hope I do try to describe the page when it's appropriate for audio only listeners. So let me know in chat if I've been able to successfully, you know, communicate to the audio only audience. You're our token audio only audience member for today. FedEx, 35 months or 29 months. Let's go. That's right. Heck yeah, guys. We got a banger of a crew today. I want to say if you're new here, I know we've got some long timers like Dan and James and FedEx and Bro Neal. But if you're new here, let us know with a hashtag first timer in the chat. Hashtag first timer in the chat. We love, love welcoming our new friends. And we have a special way of doing it where we say, you say first timer, we say welcome to the party, pal.

With our good friend, John McClain, the fictional character from the 1988 blockbuster Christmas movie Die Hard, welcoming you to the party. Support, inclusion, empowerment are the core values here at Simply Cyber. And one of many ways that we demonstrate that is by welcoming you with an inclusive statement. Ah, Bro Neil says, I do a good job describing. Yes, sir. Rick Flair agrees. All right, guys, so eight stories ripping through top cyber news. We got the memes of the day. First timers have been recognized. Also, did you know, hello. Every episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief, including today's episode, which is episode 1251, is worth half a CPE. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. It's that easy. All you got to do is go to cyberthreatbrief.simplycyber.io.
