| Attacking Us By Attacking Business They are called ‘Supply Chain’ attacks and involve hackers targeting small businesses that have connections to larger, more lucrative targets. These smaller businesses often have weaker cybersecurity defenses, making them easier prey. We have seen that hackers exploit vulnerabilities in these businesses’ systems to gain access to the networks and data of larger organizations they are linked to. Once inside, attackers can move laterally to breach the main target’s systems, leading to significant data theft, financial losses, and damage to reputation. Damage to reputation was one area we discussed later in our East Coast show today. Following a caller who told us he now sees about 50% of his dispatched emails never arrive at their destination, because his domain name has been flagged as ‘compromised’. This listener told me off air that business has been harder since the breach. We are going to assist where we can, with the support of our sponsor ‘Harvey Norman Technology For Business’. Make sure your small business is protected from any of these attacks. CLAIM YOUR FREE CYBERSECURITY ASSESSMENT HERE. |

The decision reportedly came after years of development challenges and internal strife within the project team. The project, internally known as “Titan,” faced hurdles such as leadership changes, disagreements over the vehicle’s direction, and difficulties in securing key partnerships. Mike Boyd, our in-house ‘Apple Guy’ came down to the show to talk more about this and some updates re Vision Pro. Mike mentioned that although he has a home full of Apple technology, he never saw himself driving an Apple car in the future. Mike talked about the complexity and challenges of making an electric vehicle and how this was likely a big part of the reason that Apple binned the project. |
