The Lighthouse IT Podcast - August 23rd, 2024 This week, Matt & Griff discuss Apple Mail's latest update using AI to create and display summaries of your inbox instead of just the first line of emails. Reddit is strongly hinting at the introduction of paywalls on its site, possibly hiding popular subreddits behind a pricetag. The Google Graveyard grows as Chromecast is discontinued for the new (AI-enabled) Google TV Streamer to be released next month. The largest data breach ever just happened; Jerico Pictures, dba National Public Data, got hacked, leaking 2.9 billion people's personal information, including SSNs. Security awareness company KnowBe4 almost fell victim to a North Korean state actor who used stolen identity and AI deepfakes to infiltrate the company and attempt to inject malware. The Trump presidential campaign also fell victim to a hack, but reports haven't confirmed it to be a targeted attack, though it seems to be from a business email compromise. CrowdStrike president, Michael Sentonas, is one of the few people to accept a PWNIE award in person in recognition of significant blunders in cybersecurity. And finally, the Justice Department is considering breaking up Google after it was found to have an illegal monopoly.
