Today is a good day; it’s World Password Day!  A great day to take a moment and improve your password management at large.  Think open-source password management (e.g. Buttercup or Bitwarden), leveraging passkeys, and password rotation.  Do it today; you can thank us later!

And in the spirit of improving security, today the boys provide some color on some of those phishing messages you’ve been getting day in and day out.  As you likely already know empirically, the good ol’ USPS brand has rocketed itself to the top of the list of brands most phished.  In this episode, you’ll hear a bit about what’s going on, why this has happened, and what you can do to avoid being taken advantage of.

But ahead of that, the headlines of the week include: China’s continuously improving EVs; Apple being required by the EU to open iPadOS to sideloading within 6 months; and Google laying off staff from Flutter, Dart and Python teams.
