Welcome to the Security box, podcast 275. This program seems to be doing a lot of singing. I wonder what happened?

We'll have the news desk, and we'll so cover what has been on the blog a s of late.

Nick, Preston shows up at the end, and of course myself, will be along with you.

Gang,

What happens when defenses don't behave the way they do? Software that claims that it works, but we can't use it because it isn't accessible? Software that is accessible, but yet it doesn't do what we want or behave the way we think it should? These may be questions answered on today's program.

The news desk is back for its second episode, let us know what you think, read, or found of interest.

Tech problems made this episode difficult, but its finally out.

Hello folks, welcome to podcast 41 of the Sans series. While I've been tied up, I know that one of the biggest issues right now being talked about is the Canvas breach and its related problems.

Welcome everyone to a special edition of the Security Box. I'm Jared and this is podcast 271A.

We are doing this podcast because of a breaking news item that may affect each and every one of you who have an alarm system.

This goes beyond ADT, who is the main company discussed within this piece. But Kim Komando is going so far as to recommend that the Home Security industry as a whole is being targeted and recommends everyone change their passwords and codes on their keypad. This is regardless of the company used mentioned...

Welcome to Sans, episode 39. This is not News Bites, we've not gotten that ready yet due to other commitments, but I feel that this is important.

On Thursday, April 16th, 2026, Sans had a webcast about a very serious issue about AI and vulnerability findings.

SANS Critical Advisory: BugBusters - AI Vulnerability Discovery Hype vs. Reality will be the web page you need to go to so that you can read about this.

Apparently, Anthropic released and then pulled back a new version of Claude called Mythos which is more powerful than they thought...

Sorry we're so late everyone, between being sick, technical issues with the PC, and other commitments, we're finally here. Some of this news still may be of value, and we're glad to still put it out.

Also, starting with this podcast, we're using transcripts. They may not be perfect, but hope they help people. Let me know if it is usable and whether they should be left on.

Sounds like a group we've talked about...

Welcome everyone to podcast 270 of the Security Box. I know that Sans is way behind, but I've been involved in other stuff and that the display has also had problems and we also have been busy.

We taped on April 1, 2026 and releasing on April 2, 2026.

But this podcast must continue and we will be talking about AI hallucinations.

Some of the discussion is tied back to podcasts 268 and 269 of this program.

We'e had several AI discussions, podcasts 267 and 270 as well as it coming up in other discussions throughout this series.

...

Welcome to the security box, program 269. On this episode, we've got several different items for you, and we'll redo one of our segments because our second file became an issue and we just didn't have time in dealing with rerecording it.

The Security Box is back with another episode. We’re currently working through a continuing series, and when major developments happen, we may release additional episodes using an A, B, C format so we can respond quickly while still keeping the overall podcast structure consistent.

We also have several videos queued for discussion. Some of these may be released as supplemental A/B/C segments to keep regular TSB episodes at a reasonable length, since we are no longer broadcasting weekly.

Some of the topics discussed here were briefly introduced during this past week’s Thro...

Hello folks, welcome to another edition of The Security Box.

This week’s program focuses on AI and its usage, where it’s helping, where it’s being misused, and where the risks are starting to show up in real-world security, privacy, and accessibility scenarios.

AI continues to move fast, and not always in ways users understand or consent to. We’ll talk about how AI is being deployed, what assumptions are being made on behalf of users, and where responsibility still needs to remain firmly human.

As part of this discussion, we may touc...

Hello gang, welcome to another Sans Podcast.

I know we're quite behind, and my goal was to do these podcasts between TSB episodes, but the week of the 17th had two meetings, one of which went to a second meeting I decided to stay for. For those who are not clear by this, the two meetings I were to attent happened on two different days, but then one meeting I stayed for happened on the first day and it isn't a regular meeting I stay for.

This podcast is going to cover the newsletter that...

Hello folks, welcome to the next TSB, pprogram 266.

We do have videos from Nick Espinosa which...

Hello gang, welcome to program 36 of the Sans series here at the Jared Rimer Network. I'm Jared Rimer. Here's the thing. We're not taking anything away from any other podcast, we just want to put out the news and things from this great educational institution and put our thoughts in to it. With that said, we'll see what happens, as the News Bites series continues.

Sans 35 covered ouch! for January Fake Tech Support: The Only Thing They’re Fixing Is Your Bank Account, so 36 will be the first News Bites of the year.

Welcome to TSB, episode 265.

The Trivia Question this time is:

Let’s get this Monday moving, Jared. You know how sometimes a name change can make everything feel new? Like when The Artist Formerly Known as Prince became a symbol, or when Dunkin’ ditched “Donuts” and got all minimalist on us.

Well, Mark Zuckerberg had a major rebrand moment, too, swapping out “Facebook” for “Meta” to match his metaverse vision. But in doing so, he triggered an awkward translation situation. Meta, in Hebrew, means what? A) Chaos, B) Nightmare, C) Dead or D) Broken. The answ...

Hello folks, welcome to another Sans episode with Jared Rimer.

Today, we have Ouch, the newsletter for January 2026. In it, it talks about technical support scams. I've even heard some discussion on other podcasts including Scam Squad, so this means that they're back with a vengeance.

The problem is, they don't use the same tactics, techniques and procedures they used to. While the example herein is a popup from a website, it may arrive in an unsolicited text message, or even on social media. I don't think it has hit social media yet, but it...

Hello folks, welcome to Sans, episode 34.

On this episode, we will learn about a ten year anniversary of something that a certain nation state did, Russia. Looks like we've got a couple of more breaches to talk about, and much more.

While I will put in the info from the newsletter, the newsletter will have more info including links which I will not include.

This will be the last version of the newsletter for now. In the table of contents, under Internet Storm Center which are articles to various things, they mention this...

At the top of the newsletter, they paid a tribute to Dan Kaminsky who was a security researcher and worked tirelessly to make things accessible and found a very serious bug within DNS. He was born in 1979 and died in 2001. The link is...

Hello gang, welcome to the Sans News Bites podcast covering the newsletter for December 12, 2025.

I know, we should've been continuing to release, but I also have been involved in other things too and taking some time off, but we plan on catching up as there are no meetings we need to attend until next year.

I've also been learning about how the RSS features work on getting things linked, and its not as simple as putting the links in place in HTML so we'll continue to improve our show notes and make them better.

If you haven't gotten the picture yet, this will be the last TSB program of the year.

Feel free to visit the blog to learn more about what's going on and I may even post too.

Sans will not be going anywhere, and we'll continue to work on catching that up.

Some ADA stuff, end of year predictions and chatter about Sans stuff too.

Hope you enjoy!
