**Jerry Auger** (0:01)
Yes, sir, what's up, everybody? Welcome to the party. Today is Wednesday, September 9th, 2026 Hawa, this is Simply Cyber's Daily Cyber Threat Brief. I'm your host, Dr. Gerald. Those are coming to you live from the Buffer Osher Flow Studio.
And if you're looking for the top cyber news stories, good community, good times, and high fives abound, well, then you're in the right place. Get you coffee, get comfortable. We got a great show for you.

**Rich Raffalino** (0:59)
Oh yeah.

**Jerry Auger** (1:00)
Oh yeah. Oh God, it looks like my graphics aren't showing up. We'll have to sort that out in a minute. Guys, welcome to the party. Over the next hour, me, you, and Cyber Eddie, and TechGron, Steve Young, Mondo Ovelia, Elliot Matice getting up early this morning. We're all going to be ripping through the top cyber security news stories of the day. I'll be giving my opinion analysis on each of those stories. So you'll be getting the surface level insights for those news stories, the headline, the surface level, of course. And then I'll use my 20 years plus of experience and my passion for teaching and educating to go beyond those headlines to give you additional value, things that you may not get in a classroom or a textbook, or having not just been on the job. AA Witherspoon is in the house this morning.
It's actually annoying me that my little videos are not popping up. Why is that not happening?

**Rich Raffalino** (1:54)
Hold on. Let's see.

**Jerry Auger** (1:55)
Give me a moment here.
Do this and then this. Is this going to work? Oh, my God, guy. All right. I guess we'll have to figure this out here. It has to do with the stream deck. All right, guys. Hey, every episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief. First of all, I don't research or prep for those shows. So if you didn't know, I have no idea what is going to be coming up, what stories we'll be covering. I react to them in real time. Do you know why?

**Rich Raffalino** (2:25)
Ain't nobody got time for that.

**Jerry Auger** (2:26)
Right, ain't nobody got time for that. And that's how we roll. That's what we do up in this piece. So it's all about good times. Good morning, E.Lucky. Good to see you. Guys, every episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief, I want to let you know, is worth half a CPE. So don't be shy. Say what's up in chat.

**Jerry Auger** (2:52)
Trying to figure out why this thing is not happening.
Every episode, hold on. Okay. There we go. Hold on. I guess we're going to do it this way. Don't worry. I'm still here.
