Catch up on the cybersecurity and tech news of the week with Don, Dan, and Sophie as they cover the latest. This week in tech, the team covers a ground-breaking article about Ubuntu that isn’t what it seems. In Cloud news, Amazon has opened Sidewalk, its slow but far-reaching data network, for free public use. A new privacy-focused browser called Mullvad was released this week based on the Firefox browser. In security news, Microsoft began previewing its Security Copilot, an AI-powered cybersecurity defense tool. Two North Carolina residents were arrested after cutting over 2,000 fiber optic cables, cutting internet access for over 40,000 people. Finally, in this week’s “Who Got Pwned?” segment, a supply chain attack targeting Windows and MacOS users of the communication desktop client 3CX was detected by multiple security firms, and it was revealed that 3CX knew it had been flagged as malware for a week without taking action.
