On the Halloween show, Mike walked through how about $6 billion walked out of Binance hot wallets in roughly 20 minutes, then told a real story from a new client handoff: domains held in someone else's account, a dead backup device still being billed, and Intune with no license behind it.
Topics we covered:
- Binance hack: what a hot wallet is and why the money is hard to get back
- DHS staff directory leak: how a single sign-on session can be cloned like a wristband
- Microsoft security paywall: why conditional access should come with every account
- Caller John: repair or replace a dead TV (the half-the-cost rule)
- Switching IT providers: own your domains, verify backups by restoring, demand documentation
- GM driving-data settlement and the Character.ai bankruptcy
Questions for listeners:
- Do you know whose account your business domain is registered in?
- When did you last restore a file from your backup to prove it works?
- Would you opt in to your car sharing driving data for an insurance discount?
