Sirius XM to Buy Pandora in Bet on Streaming Music
Hi folks,
The radio connection live group has notified me about this, and Herbie posted the article below, and I thought I’d post this along.
Sirius XM agreed to buy Pandora Media in a deal valued at about $3.5 billion, including debt, as the two sides face increasing competition from Spotify and Apple Music.

blindy.tv to be closed on October 1
Hi all,
I saw the following tweet on my twitter, and thought people should see this.
Brandon B, RT @BlindyTV: Due to accelerating degradation of our existing automation software, and the lack of time/interest to rebuild it and continue editing new content, it has been decided to retire the BlindyTV service on 10/1/18, at 12:00 EDT, after nearly 6 years of broadcasting. Thanks, everyone. 29 minutes ago, TW Blue
I’ve listened to this network through RS Games at times, and I thought it was very interesting what they were doing. For those who have enjoyed the network, I’m saddened to see it go. I like the idea of what they were doing and I don’t know what software they were using, but sometimes, you’ve got to make a tough decision.

Good news, what have we found now?
I’ve found two articles with some good news impacts within my RSS feed that I’d like to let people know about. Russian hacker pleads guilty for role in massive botnet schemes is the first, and Latvian hacker sentenced to 33 months in prison for scareware scheme is the second. This is all great news, as it shows that the law is starting to work on our side and we are going to try our best to detur criminals away from the hacking scene and to do some good I hope. I know its a slow process, and only time will tell what will happen. Great job!

Technology podcast 288: something thats bothering me about going after cybersecurity, Equifax one year later, and an interesting malware with a lot of file types being effected
Hello Everyone, RSS and Mixcloud have the podcast. If you would like, please feel free to contact me. Here are the show notes for this program.
Welcome to podcast 288, I’m hoping you’ll enjoy this podcast. Why are we going after cybersecurity companies, and not the people who are actually doing the hacking? Articles I’ve read pose this question, and its your job to go find those. Next, Sound, Fury, And Nothing One Year After Equifax is discussed as we have more questions in regards to Equifax and one year later. Finally, Why don’t we take a look at A Closer Look at the Locky Poser, PyLocky Ransomware as we learn about file types that are encrypted that I’ve never heard of. Contact information is at the end of the podcast, and I hope you enjoy this podcast.

How to combat the long lives of zero-day vulnerabilities
I just read this article today called How to combat the long lives of zero-day vulnerabilities and I didn’t know vulnerabilities can last 6 to 9 years if not patched. This is something I’ve never known before and I didn’t think it was this bad. This was definitely something I thought we should pass along.

Anchor update for the evening of September 11th 20:00 hours
I’ve got an update for all of you that might be of interest as we iron out the bugs. Thanks for your support!
Hello folks,
Anchor has submitted my podcasts to other directories. Here are the links to them if you wish to subscribe.
- Radio Republic
- Google Podcasts link is not active yet, and only works for Android at this time. Should it not work, please let me know so that I can report this.
- breaker
As of the time I’m putting this post together for you, Google is not working, but do keep the link around. This is what was sent to me.
Also, I put the audio directory back on this server, and it looks like that may have fixed some redirect issues that I’ve seen. I’m always working on getting things as seemless as possible. Thanks for your continued support!

Its time for patch tuesday once again
Patch Tuesday is here and Brian has this blog post covering the details. I know Trend Micro will probably submit something, and I’ll post something when they do. I believe its going to be over 60 patches if I remember correctly? Flash is no better, and can 2020 come soon enough?

anchor update for September 11
Hi all,
This is a learning experience for all of us. I’ve just updated the information you need page on this blog with this RSS feed. The redirect may be causing some side effects, including:
- The inability to receive podcasts.
- A mixture of different episodes.
- A URL not found when putting the technology.jaredrimer.net/audio in your podcast feed.
This is all a learning experience, because I need to know how to proceed if I want to use anchor on other platforms for my other podcasts.
I appreciate the messages I’ve gotten about the issues.
Some of the comments are dealing with the file names, and I do not have any control of them. I upload it as my file structure, however, it renames the file and that I need to look in to.
Please continue to let me know of any issues so I may enquire in to what is happening. Thanks for reading!

Anchor distributes podcasts
Hi all,
I just received an email from Anchor this morning that the technology blog and podcast is now available on a service called Pocket Cast. I’ve never heard of them, however, I want to take this opportunity to let them know that they are welcome here.
This is ghe link that is provided for pocket cast for people to click on to subscribe.
This is the link to use to go to my profile on Anchor where other links may be of value to you.
This link is for the RSS and I’m interested to know if people are subscribed to the old feed whether it picked up the latest update for podcast 287. Someone told me they didn’t pick it up but yet I uploaded it yesterday.
Welcome aboard!

Have we done enough about foreign problems?
I have two articles I’ve read as of late. Both come from Cyberscoop. ‘We simply haven’t done enough’: Facebook and Twitter execs testify on foreign influence campaigns and NSA official: Foreign hackers have ‘pummeled’ U.S. by stealing IP are the two articles. Both have their opinions, and both read well in the fact that this is a difficult problem. Part of that is attribution, and the other is once we know who it is, there is no way to prosecute the purps, or if there is, its going to be a long process. I’m going to post these two as part of this post, and I’m curious if there is a solution to this? Lets discuss.

A group looking to evolve, whats next?
According to Cyberscoop, they are reporting that a well known group is looking to continue unebated. Analysts expect Lazarus Group to evolve, clean up opsec is the name of the article, and you can comment on this on your own time. There’s no way I can keep up with each and every article, but this group interests me, because they always come out with new things. Check out this article and let me know what you think.

Should we be tired of sorry?
eeShould be sorry with sorry? Why you should be fed up with the cycle of FUD talks about how there are issues keeping the government as safe as possible because each office has their own budget dealing with threats. They use the same software we do, but yet, they have more targeted threats that we may not necessarily have. This was a great article to read, and I’m curious on thoughts. This is because we don’t really know the issues the government face, but it is more of a problem than we do. Thoughts?
