**Dr. Gerald Auger** (0:01)
All right, good morning, everybody. Welcome to the party. Today is Tuesday, September 8th, 2026 We're officially in fall. Hopefully, everybody had a nice labor day weekend here in the United States. If you're looking to stay current on the top cyber news stories of the day, while engaging with like-minded professionals who are all about good times, support, inclusion and empowerment, well, then you are in the right place, my friend. So get your coffee, get comfortable. This is Simply Cyber's Daily Cyber Threat Brief.
All right. Good morning, everybody.
Yes, we are off and running. I'm coming to you live from the Buffer Osir Flow Studio here in the Lowcountry. Got a great show for you today. We're gonna go over the top eight cyber stories of the day. We'll give you the headline and the surface level information that you will need to kind of stay current on the news. But then part of the value I love of this show is going beyond those headlines, giving you additional insights that you can use to level yourself up as a professional, kind of be the CEO of you, reduce risk for your business, protect those you care about, all the good things. That's what we do here every single day. And spoiler alert, if I don't know something that could add value, the Simply Cyber community, hashtag Team SC, right above my head, always live on stream, part of the show will be dropping knowledge bombs across all of the conversation and all of the show today. So stay tuned, keep your eye on that chat right above my head. Speaking of that chat, if you are here for the first time, drop a hashtag first timer in chat. We'd love to welcome you to the party, pal.
We'd love to welcome you to the party, pal. Let you know that we appreciate you being here and want you to know that you are welcome as part of this community. And if you're a regular long timer, holler at you. Definitely a big fan of the Simply Cyber community. Kind of starting slow today. I gotta tell you, I've had my whole pot of coffee, slept like crap last night for what it's worth. Hopefully, everybody else had a good night's sleep. Let's kind of get the juices flowing. If you're showing up a little bit early for the show kickoff, let's go ahead and drop five gifted subs. Kind of celebrating you for getting here early and kind of get the juices flowing. So those who just picked up the squad memberships for me, welcome to the squad, AmishNode, GreatSun32, ShedBears, and others. All right, James200 and 319 Good stuff, man. All right, I'm feeling better. I'm feeling better.
I'm feeling a little spicy today. Okay, okay.
All right, guys. Hey, every single episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief is worth half a CPE. So say what's up in chat, grab a screenshot. No, actually, I'm sorry. That's the old format. Holy crap, dude. Lost traction with reality for a second there. Guys, go to cyberthreatbrief.simplycyber.io/cpe.
There's a link in the description. If you hit exclamation CPE in chat, it will come up with a nightbot. Today, September 8th, episode 1239
Putting your name, your email address, a couple of checkboxes and boom, you hit that yellow button and you are off and running. On October 1st, I'll email you a list of all the days you were here, plus a very cool PDF that you can download. Marcus Kyler, I'm assuming you found that PDF. I never heard anyone else mention an issue with PDF, so I'm not sure if you got it sorted out or not, but we can certainly work on that together if we need be. Every single day of the week has a special segment. Tuesday is Tidbits Tuesday. Share a little bit about myself, see if we vibe on it. I don't know what we're gonna pick yet. I was trying to think through some stuff this morning as I was getting ready for work, and I just don't know, so I'm open to ideas. Of course, Amish No, you're welcome. It's a pleasure. It's an absolute pleasure to serve. All right, guys, Tidbits Tuesday, first timers, CPEs, we got all the things. You know what else we got?
Show sponsors, thank you so very much for the show sponsors, those who enable me to bring this show to you every single weekday morning for four plus years. Let's start with anti-siphon training. Anti-siphon training is disrupting the traditional cybersecurity training industry by offering high quality, cutting edge education to everyone, regardless of financial position. And tomorrow anti-siphon training will be teaching you how to safely use AI in PenTest with Brian aka BB King. Now, many of you, actually I'm curious if you want to sound off and chat, how many of you are attending Michelle Khan's OSINT workshop today? Four hours of Michelle Khan. I cannot attend, but I'm telling you, I was hyping it up last week. I continue to hype it up. I love myself some Michelle Khan training. If you missed that opportunity, don't miss this one, tomorrow, one hour, 12 to 1 PM. You might be like, well, I'm not a pen tester. Okay, that's fine. Say you're a GRC person, let's go. How do you know that the pen testers you're hiring are using AI correctly? They're definitely using AI, right? You can make sure, Ray W is going to be at Michelle's training. Here's my thing.
