In this story, a school system lost millions of dollars by transferring funds to cybercriminals after falling victim to a phishing campaign.<\/p>\n<p>From there, we head further west, to Las Vegas, and its recent cyberincident. The third story takes us back to the topic of Facebook. Instead of our common discussion points, this story looks at encryption and where it stands with the Messenger platform. Spoiler: It\u2019s not coming as fast as many would like.<\/p>\n<p><input type=\"hidden\" class=\"category_for_banner\" value=\"ksc-trial-generic\"><br>\nTo close out the podcast, we discuss two Windows-based stories. The first is about the end of support for Windows 7, and then we finish the podcast looking at a recent vulnerability patched in Windows that came courtesy of the NSA.<\/p>\n<p>If you like what you heard, please consider sharing with your friends or subscribing.
