Episode description

This week on Technado, Google patched yet ANOTHER 0-day exploit - that's four this month, for those of you counting. Spyware program pcTattletale had their website defaced and database dumped. Several major pharmaceutical companies were affected by Cencora's February data loss. And in other news, hackers are phishing finance orgs using... Minesweeper?

After a quick fact-checking break, we have a packed Behind Bars segment. The man behind a deepfake Joe Biden robocall is facing a $6M fine, while a man who stole $37 million in crypto could face up to 20 years in prison. A courtroom recording platform was hijacked in a supply chain attack, and GitHub issued a fix for a maximum severity flaw (that's a 10.0, folks) in their enterprise server software. Finally, we have an update on last week's Apple bug that was causing deleted photos to resurface.
