Are we live? Yeah. Hey, mom. Hey, dad. Um, this episode number 35 of the Mighty Michael fully actual podcast and we are five episodes away from the season finale. We have nine weeks of, uh, like work left before we have our little end of year break and five episodes of the podcast left. I'm getting down about that. And by the way, so not this episode obviously, but so tomorrow it's Thursday right now. Tomorrow I'm going to book in the venue. So not this episode, but next week's episode we're going to have a link to the tickets for the live show. Okay. It's going to pick one with the Judith Wright Center was booked out. We're too slow. So it's been rough, man. There's a lot to organize still. We'll have a special guest on. We don't know who yet, but we're going to get one on. And Matt's shitting himself. Yeah. What? So that's gone now. He's Matt's sits in officers and screams at concrete as all day. And now he's going to be thrust in front of hundreds of people. Wait, where? What venue? Look at that. Look at the confusion. I thought we were doing the Judith. Look at the confusion glazed over eyes. Judith is gone. Yeah. It's stupidly gone. Where are we going to get that? He'll see. Oh. I hate. You'll see everything soon, Brown. I'm planning the second one. Because that means we're going to do another one. Yeah. We got to see if we're good first. We're going to be better. It's going to cost a little bit of money. So we're going to charge a very small amount just to cover costs. Because we don't want to charge too much. So it's going to be like between 10 and 20 bucks because we don't.  Matt's, like I said, he's sitting in an office screaming at assistance all day. I'm fine. Did you oust at anyone today? Oh, I was pretty short with a few people. But um, I... He would be the beast. Yeah. Look at the boss. That's why that person's mum said she didn't like working with him. Take it to Brown. Okay. I've come in late. What happens? I've walked in. Hey, Brown.  You're 15 minutes late. Well, first off, no one would dare speak to me like that. Although I've got everyone nearly everyone on handshakes now. So it's been good. It's brought the staff closer. Hey, Brown. Sorry. I'm late. I'm 15 minutes late. All good, man. All right. It's the next day. Hey, Brown. Sorry. I'm late. I'm half an hour late now and I've got mustard on my jeans. I'd say all good and I'll let you sit down before maybe chatting to you maybe later in the day to see if everything is all right. Okay. So we sit down. Here we go. I don't want to do it. That doesn't like the role play. It brings him back to work. I don't want to do this. I'd just check if everything was okay and I'd see if... Nothing. I'm getting... Everyone's fine. No, no, everything's fine. What time are you starting? You're starting in the early mornings? You're starting in the later shifts?  What do you want me to do? It's traffic. So would an earlier shift suit you so you can beat the traffic? No. The later shift. I want to come in for three hours. Actually, two hours. I can't. I need you for nine hours. All right. I'll be on time tomorrow. And then he's late. Fast forward to tomorrow. Hour late. Okay. It's tomorrow. I'm an hour late and now he's got tomorrow's rest. Sorry, Brown. I'm late. Is this the third late? Wearing the same mustard-skinned jeans. Okay. Well, one, I'll be like, hey, man, take a look at your jeans. Maybe you wash them. And then saying, oh, no. I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. I'm washing machines broken. All right. What do you want me to do? Pay me more. And you're late again. All right. I can't do anything about your pay. You have to speak with the other manager. But yeah, I'd wash your jeans.  That's not sexual harassment. Done. I've just reported you to top office.  That's very sexy. If you're going to get in this role play, get into it. I don't want to do this anymore. My grandmother died.  If your grandmother died, oh, dude, we're here for you. What do you need? I want sex.  A concrete grandmother. Say that.  A concrete grandmother sculpture.  Yeah. 50 meters tall. I really don't want to do this anymore because every single person is different in how you deal with them. All right. Look, look, look, we got to, we got to move on. Yeah. We do got to move on. Starting quite late. All right. Let's move on to the next episode. Blake and Paulie were meant to come on this episode, but Blake is stuck in Bali because he's lost his, he's lost his passport. I think he's girlfriend's like being in an accident. What lied to you? Fuck. Good work. Anyway, but yeah. So Blake stuck in Bali and then so we just said, I'll just come on with Blake like next week or the week after Paulie. So there do you want either next week or the week after we've got a lie set up. We've got a bachelor brown. We've got fucking. A jam packed episode. So let's jump straight into the deep end. Oh, before we start, did, um, did, um, did Jackson call you guys? Yeah. Cause he's called me and asked me to come for an interview with it. You're lying. Yeah. Fuck. That was such a bad lie, Jack. Connor, leave that in and people need to see how bad Matt or he's at that lie. No, no, quick. Cut that. Please. Oh man. Please. Oh, and we're back now. Cut that. I just did a really bad lie. He wanted it out. So we had to cut it. I'll quit. Don't. Connor. Cut it. The hot. Yeah. It's so hot. Hot rocks is syphilis. We don't have air con. Look at it. You have air con. Not in this area. We got a fan. We can't put that on or blow everything. No. We can set up a series of fans from the land room and blow the cooler old days. I could do that. Anyway, let's move on.  It's hot. Yeah. Yeah. Michael's obsessed with fortnight again. It's fucking. It's not good. Matt and Michael are having fortnight offs. Oh, I haven't really competed against each other. I'm good. I've only just started to get playing. I played a little bit a few years ago.  Am I good? You are very good. Naturally. Naturally. Also, we're back to film and we've already filmed like seven videos this week. We did a website video. You might be wondering why we're wearing band-aids on one hand each where we try attempted to sand our fingerprints off to see if you can do that. And we're sorry about the blanket. Anyway, we won't give too much away, but that'll be a website video. I literally, I literally left the house and slept somewhere else last night.  All right. Let's move right along the sponsors. Your dog shits. Hey, man.   You're fucked, man. And if you want, if you want a better life, you maybe need to consider going to manscape.com. They've got all the things you need to make sure. Hang on. This is a part of the sponsor. Hang on. Help me. Help me with this.  The noise you just heard is manscape.com.  Fully actual 20 for 20% off.  All right.

Well, that video gave me a just stop. I'm sorry. Oh, no.  We'll break the set. I thought Michael was watching. He's always watching. I'm sorry. Are you okay, Michael? I'm so sorry. Usually you're ready for it. Sorry.  And then we take a bunch of painkillers, really strong painkillers, and far too many of them. And then we do the painful things again to see if it works. Sign up 21 day free trial.  See if you like the content. You can leave free of charge if you don't. But I bet you will.  Yeah, it's very good. Yeah, yeah. You gotta watch it, man. See how curious you are at our science? Everyone is. There's a level of curiosity there. Actually. Actually. Actually. Somebody actually. Actually. Actually. Actually. Actually. Actually. Actually. Actually. Actually. Somebody. Actually.  What happened? Somebody gave me a login and signed me up and I didn't realize it. I thought that would give me their login. I was like, oh, no, no, it's okay. I won't use yours.  And then someone paid for you and they're like, hey, are you using it? And I was like, oh my God, I didn't realize like, yeah, no. So even, so let me get this straight. Free.  You know the human being that's doing that. No, no, he's just another member. And well, what a legend to do that. But I was so brain dead that I didn't realize it was like a gift and I'm so apologized for that.  Have you even used it once?  No, never. Don't watch.  I don't think I can watch some of them. We really divided our audience last week. That's definitely why I'm not too keen on watching. The sandpaper fingertips off will probably be rough to watch for people as well. Self-mutilation is often hard to watch. But anyway, that's the website. That's what we do there.  So there's over 220 videos on there and most of them are like half an hour to 40 minutes long. The vlogs are just for members, aren't they? Well, the website ones. You don't put them out on there. Well, we can't.   Yeah. All right. Moving right along. We are running out of time. So we're going to jump straight into the lying segment. All right. Now, I don't know. I'm a bit nervous about this one. I don't know how our mate is going to take this. So I'm about to call Peter Feigen. He's a journalist. He's on TV. All right. He has helped us a lot through our content. He was when we did which sport is the scariest. He got like heaps of guests for us. And he's just always a very helpful guy.   Just wondering if you think it's newsworthy.  He knows you guys and the content you do. Let me answer that question with this. Okay. Just be clear. Be clear. I'm playing the drums. I'm playing the drums. They wet like a bit. They're normal lives. They're not like spaced. The dissolve. Swamp. Yeah. It's like mush. Swamp. Damned mush. Anyway. Sorry. Sorry. You had to hear that. Where's the phone now? Mango. I made a wire.  I could not. Mate, he's so terrible at every corner. He's actually pretty fucking... But he's actually really good at putty. Yeah.  I'm just going to get in his head. Yeah, that's no good. So what are you boys up to? What's it doing? Yeah, so look, we had a pretty wild idea. But so I just thought I'd see, like, if this is a bit too fucked up for the news. Yeah. So Michael and I met this, like, plastic surgeon like a year ago, and we sort of just been, like, staying in contact with him a little bit. And we ran this idea past him, and we obviously have to pay for this surgery. But basically, Michael and I, what we're going to do is we're going to, like, maybe take some painkillers, get a bit dosed up, and then we're going to remove, cut our pinkies off, take them to the plastic surgeon, and then see if he can, like, put Michael's pinky on my hand and put my pinky on Michael's hand. Yeah, you're going to cut them all. Yeah, well, we got tin snips. We're just going to, like, just fucking... And just, like, sort of put our finger in between and then just, like, bang down really hard on them and just hope that it's just a clean cut. I mean, that'd be too much. That'd be...  I mean, that'd probably be... That'd be there to be too much for us, but that'd probably be taken off all socials anyway, wouldn't it? Yeah, well, we're going to do it as, like, a website exclusive, but we thought, you know, and not have, like, any of the cutting and stuff, but maybe just have the, like, the aftermath, like, the us coming out of the surgery room and I've got Michael's pinky. And the surgeon reckons, like, he could make it so that, like, they're fully functioning pinkies. So I'll just have Michael's pinky on me and Michael will have one of my pinkies on him. What are your, what are your loved ones? Think about that. Well, we haven't run it by them yet.  I reckon it'll be shut down pretty quickly. Yeah, well... You'll get coverage. There's no doubt about it. You'll absolutely and utterly get coverage whether you like it or not. It wouldn't be something that we would report on in terms of, hey, look, these guys are about to do this. Oh, well, what about... Yeah, so... It would 100% make, like, my daily mail, mate, everyone had done one. Everyone had absolutely and utterly done one.  But the other idea we had was that we both get just one fake tit just in the middle of our backs. And the plastic surgeon said he'd need to see how that works. But, like, that's, like, probably a little less gruesome. Yeah. That's less gruesome. Either or you would get coverage. People would just pick it up. Like, you wouldn't have to even put it out there. Yeah. You would just say, mate, look what these guys have done. Make daily mail, news.com, courier. The short answer is we wouldn't, in any way, shape or form, endorse you guys doing it. But we would 100%. Mate, without doubt, everyone would report on it. 100%. It would probably be, like, be negative feedback, though. Wouldn't it? Well, you're going to get mixed feedback. But, mate, put it this way. I reckon your loved ones will probably be the ones that'll push back more than anyone else.  And I want to see it. I want to see it. But, yeah, it's not something we certainly wouldn't say, oh, yeah, we're going to endorse this little bar. But we would report on it 100%. You would get mixed feedback. Yeah, but you would get, I mean, that's something that would go, that's something that would go overseas. Like, that's massive.   We've actually got you on the podcast right now, and this is our lying...   Woo!  You're not going to cut... I think they go, what the fuck? You were quite supportive of it, dude. So supportive, I loved it.  I love that. It'll make overseas news. Fuck. I think they go, you're not going to cut your own fucking...    That was good, boys.   We've actually did have that idea when we were fucking... getting anywhere with the videos, but yeah, we're definitely not going to do that. That was good, actually. I'm actually a big supporter of your art, but, oh, mate. They go, no, this can't be true.   Oh, wow. Probably not, but you know what? You know what? You should try it. All right. The easy said, we'll do it. Oh, that's unreal. Yeah, sorry, mate.  Nah, that's all right, that's all right. I just thought I'd give you a buzz and... I thought I made that point. Oh, I love that. That was great.  We got him, baby. Well, the one down.  Yeah, he would say, like... But it probably would be international news if we did that. Unbelievable. Had functioning people. I know they can saw it. You'd think he'd be like, dude, don't do that. Well, he did say, don't run it by your loved ones. There's no way Mono Amber would let us do that. You reckon? There's a chance that when you get it reattached, that it won't work.  He's got his fingers anyway. There was a friend of yours. McLannon. I think it was like Smith's last name. Can't remember his first name. Greg? No, not Greg.   It'll just be funny. And he was dead serious about it. He's a mate of yours. Sorry about that. Sorry about Matt, everyone. So sorry about Matt ruining potentially the evening there. So sorry, everyone. Sorry. All right, moving right along. Next we have our bachelor brown segment. And I know we've been doing this segment all season, but I read some of the comments that this segment's getting a bit stale. But I'm done with it. We've got to see it through now. We've only got five episodes left. And we're going to try our best to get the top three onto the finale. No, we can't. We'll have to talk about that because I don't think it's a possibility. Matt, anything is possible. We'll talk about it at the end. We'll talk about it at the end. All right, so bachelor brown, Michael and I have hand selected girls to have phone dates with Matt and because Matt's gotten real shaky and he's lost all his confidence over the years of brutal rejection after rejection after rejection after rejection after rejection. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Help! Help!  And now we have to do everything to try and make him happy. Sorry. All right, we're... Who is this person? Lydia. Please answer. Maybe it's her. Everyone, we are so sorry. We have a fallen victim to another case of nervousness. Rejection.  So we will have to abandon this week's bachelor brown. All right, moving right along. On this day... We're going to take... Bomb break! Health problems. It wasn't very good. And we're back. Oh, you gotta clean your face.    What do you think I was just eating? Dog! Oh, I've got it itchy. From Chinese restaurant. Scream segment in. To make up for the bachelor brown. Just wait, Matt, you said something to me before. Yeah, Paulie. He went after the Uber Eats driver. While we were doing the lying segment, Matt ran out. I don't want to say this. He thought it was Paulie because Matt still thinks that Paulie's coming on today. So he goes to the Uber driver. He goes, Paulie! Paulie! Hang on, hang on, hang on. So you were doing the lying segment to... Paulie. Doing the lying segment. And so I saw the car pull up and I thought it was Paulie because I was expecting a guest. And so I ran out front to, like, stop him from being all excited and loud because then that would ruin the prank call. And then when I got there, he was sort of standing by the car. He wasn't coming towards the house. So I said, Paulie! Paulie! And he's just, he goes, he goes, uh, delivery. I was like, oh, okay. So technically the lie was on Matt. Yeah. We kind of got the brown flounder down. Anyway, on this day, and on this day is where Matt comes in real early and he researches, on this day in history, something crazy that happened to everybody. And yeah, he's quite passionate about them. Don't you? There's always some sort of... Anyway. Paulie coming. On this day, in in 1208... Fuck. It's a long time ago. It's like a hundred. Phyllis Yuttglit wrestled nine foxes down a hill. She snapped the foxes snouts as they lunged at her. And she grabbed their bottom jaws and twisted them off.  Phyllis laughed at the funny looking foxes. People from all over town heard about the funny looking foxes and came to see them. Soon enough, people from all over the world would come to see these hilarious foxes. Phyllis started charging the money to see the half-snouted foxes and that's how tourism was invented. The foxes quickly caught on and started staying away from humans. That's why they're so hard to catch now. I'm Matt and I'm a woman. All right. Well, there you go, this is how tourism was invented.  And it's so true, foxes are so like easily spooked now and it must be in their DNA. After all that snout snapping is it? I'm suddenly on edge. I don't feel comfortable anymore on this podcast right now tonight.  I don't know what's going on and now I feel like I have no I no idea what's coming next I'm waiting for another rock to hit the roof You ain't seen nothing yet Imagine if a truck came through the house Big one of the big hot big dog concrete trucks can't straight into you guys All right, so next we have my diary and this is where I just find like random diaries scattered throughout my mom's been Entry number Today I heard the ice cream truck go past my neighbors ran out and stopped it I ran to ask dad for some money and dad handed me a knife and told me to ask the ice cream man For some and to make stabbing movements. I ran to the ice cream van and started saying I want ice cream I want ice cream while stabbing the knife towards the man My neighbors screamed and ran back inside and the ice cream man slammed his window shut and drove away really fast I turned around and saw dad laughing very hard and he threw an empty VB tolly at me and said suck on that if you're hungry. I did and it was young It was a pretty good day Maybe what an ice cream Wow, sorry All right now we're moving right along at the speed of sound to Michael's Bible and Michael's put all of his wisdom into One book and now he's gonna read it for all of us to enjoy and learn from so shut up and sit down Beezus is about to address you. Why isn't why spelt with just the letter? Why is one of that? I'll tell you why Right after this short break pause I'm not actually sure why sorry And like I'm sure that question plagues every intellect. Did you make that alarm go off? Yeah, yeah With wisdom, I don't know if you guys could hear that, but yeah a huge alarm went off in the flat ground All right guys now.  I'm so sorry for you're about to hear. Okay, so remember this is Matt Brown who has written this Years ago when he was a deranged psychopath. Okay, just remember that. It's nothing to do with me or Michael It's all Matt Brown Look at him. Look at that. Hey, mom. Hey dad.  I get distracted and when I see movement out of the corner of my eye Someone was approaching my front door. I Sprint like an emu to my window.

I had a feeling you would be cool with it We both enter my home and Jeff places his organs on the coffee table on my lounge room So how shall we do this?  I follow suit and release my little brown We both stare at each other's cocks for a second And then Jeff's picks up the stomach. Which one do you want?  I Look at the stomach.

But hang on june is a month of the Hang on hold Watch the old june and then compare it to star wars, but you won't do that Were you because you need to see it in the new technology? No respect for all that even the new star wars the one where he's going david.    I have a question. Could you make a better star wars?  We actually have but it's not yeah, we can't release yet.  I get it astronomy and space the sun. It's all rad.  What's that jar jar?  Can't Oh my god racing and oh man.  Who's sir you sir that guy? No You're very good You've seen you've seen a lot of it.  I'm never ever gonna and now they're making one every year or something They're just draining the money and it's just well.   You've just ruined every chance to get a disney show now. Good disney can Yeah, like We're not pedophiles, mate Which brings us to our next question from trend He closed 87 Um, how does it feel to get shot on? Yeah, it does that feels hot Is it hot? Oh, yeah, it was warm. It was like catch it too.  Hey, yeah, maybe we should have ended on stand it Anyway, so yeah, you love fortnight.  Yeah, yeah, I can't I probably do I don't think I'll ever get you to star wars, but I'm glad I got you to fortnight.  Do you have to use the old ones? The old ones are the best. It's a storyline.  Oh, you'd have dress up day and you'd see these fuckwits Have the little plat the plat for this the yeah, who does that? I'd have never been from there Come on brown.  I thought you had one So anyway enough enough That's kind of brought an end to questions I guess doesn't it all right, and that's questions if you want to answer your questions YouTube channel.  We'll open it live.   Oh, it's a torch we press a button So someone's drawn us some pictures And it was quite nerve-wracking opening our mail from the fans because you never know what you're going to get Oh, okay. So there's some really pretty pictures here.  That's it. That's probably me.   I love mine and it's going to be in the reaction room your one Already is already Dave Hoopa. Does he have a website?  Plus is a good mate of ours. Yeah fucking. All right.  What's with the um pointer? So get pointed to your eyes Very good. All right Moving right along to the final Most explosive segment the final countdown. What was the idea with Margaret? Uh city council. We want to get plovers removed Yeah Good evening city council. This is Hello. My name is Margaret. I'm just calling. Um, we've had a rather troublesome plover um, that's sort of been um causing quite a bit of distress for my 14 year old son. Um, I was just wondering if there was any sort of humane way we could have that removed potentially or if we're just sort of going to have to put up with that till till the end of the season Um, I'm just going to have a look. I believe a plover may be a um native bird I'm pretty sure it is. Yeah. That's why I was just calling and it's um, it's getting quite aggressive. Yeah It's it's quite traumatic for my son brunt. Yeah Okay, um Now my understanding is that Yeah Relocating it may not be an option because it is a native animal But what I would do is I would call a queen's land government for general information about living with native wildlife Yeah, yep And I can give you the number which is 13 74 68 Second, so let me just get a pen one second certainly brunt Sorry, just one one second Sorry, go ahead Yeah, okay. Um, look, would you like me to transfer you through there now? No, look, that's okay. I just have a couple more questions if that's all right So are we um able to I know The people you want to transmit for me to might have some more details But are we able to potentially relocate the bird ourselves? Because I'm pretty sure the eggs have hatched and there's no longer any checks running around Um, I don't know that you would be able to relocate it because it's a native protected species If it's a native animal, they have protection Right. Yeah. Look, um, look, it's uh, it's bombing us pretty heavily and it seems to be Hitting my son on the head when it comes home from school Is there anything that we can do at all like maybe some protected headwear or something? Anything we can do Is there anything we can do or Sorry, I didn't understand half of that. Sorry. Um, is there any so it seems to be bomb diving my son Can I just ask is there a question that you're raising your voice? Is there a reason? Sorry. Sorry. I don't understand the question Is there a reason that you are raising your voice? Raising my voice. Sorry. Over the over the phone. I'm not following I'm not following what you're saying There's a lot of very loud dialogue happening intermittently. I'm just trying to talk to you or Well, yes, it's me talking. Yes Okay, it's just it's very very loud in my headset. Right. Um, yeah, sorry. Maybe I'll um Yeah, I don't know what to tell you darling.  Maybe it's a bad line or connection or something. Yeah Oh, I don't know that it's a bad line or connection. Right. Yeah. Um, I'll look all um, I'll keep an eye out for it Anyway, um, so if it does happen again, I have to warn you that I'll have to connect disconnect. That's fair enough look That's fair enough. Oh would be exactly the same. Yeah. Yes. Okay.  Oh man. Oh well at least like Anyway, what's that noise?  It's just a hospital helicopter. Anyway guys, that's the end of episode number 35 We're sorry about this one. We probably won't even post it. No, we have to okay We're gonna post it. Don't forget to like comment subscribe Actually, don't worry about commenting and liking just subscribe Yeah, and give us a five star review on spotify. You know, mr. B said that commenting does nothing Yeah, and liking does nothing It's crazy. Nothing watch time is all it matters So please watch the podcast all the way to the end even just play it and walk away. Yeah Really yep, when did he say that podcast? Which one? Number fickle in you didn't say it on Joe Rogan. Did he full-sand man? Anyway, be strong and be wise and don't ever let anyone be you We're the best. We're the best. We're the best. We're the best. We're the best. We're the best We're the best. We're the best. That's our worst of the season. That's our worst of the season Matt And that's your fault. Yeah Because of what you did at the start You butchered that lie. Yeah, it was pretty bad Oh, yeah See I just don't like lying the Jackson line. It wasn't natural for me Oh wait, I've got a way to finish it


About 20,000 people in Andama State have so far benefited from the 4.4 billion Naira airmarked for various KILS acquisition and empowerment programs since the inception of the Governor Amadu Afintari's administration. This is according to the head of the State Poverty Alleviation and Wealth Creation Agency Paueka Aishatou Bawabello. She also noted that the Governor has approved the sum of 2.4 billion Naira to the agency for 2023, adding that with such support, more people will be impacted while poverty will be decimated in the state. For different trainers, we have over 20,000 air vehicles that have benefited from various KIL acquisition trainers over 20,000. And in our payroll, for the social support, we have about 20,175 that are benefiting from this. And this one quote across, as I said, quote across the 226 votes that are enjoying the social support grant on monthly basis. The Paueka boss noted that the state government was exploring ways to resolve some of the gray areas with the German company, which established the centers for the benefit of teaming Adamawa populace. 2,700 students have been programmed to also benefit freshly. If we need to have peaceful coexistence, we need to do this poverty and unemployment to the barest minimum. And peace is everybody's business. So and if we need to have, if we need to enjoy the, that is, we have to need to have to sustainable development, we must have peace. So wherever you are coming from, in as much as you are living in Adamawa, the peace, the issue of Adamawa's peace is your utmost responsibility. It is your number one priority because we need all of us to go back after the health escalator for the day. We need to go back to our houses and sleep with our eyes closed. That is our praise.


This study investigated the antimicrobial properties of seven different materials composed of silica mesoporous nanoparticles, SMNs, modified with fluoroquinolone drugs, copper or silver ions, and phenytoin sodium. The SMNs were found to be effective at killing both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as multi-drug-resistant strains of staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeroginosa. Additionally, the materials were able to reduce biofilm formation and inhibit bacterial growth in a wound-like environment. This suggests that these materials could be used for the prevention and treatment of infected wounds.

Welcome back to the Cyber Underground. I'm your host Dave Stevens here at the show. Our mission is to dig deep to find out how cybersecurity touches all of us in our everyday lives. Today, once again, we have an exceptional co-host, Mr. Andrew Lanning. Andrew, the security guy. Aloha, dude. So, brother. Welcome back. Glad to be here. All right, and we also have a great guest today. Again, joining us is the president of the ISC2 chapter in Hawaii of the ISC2. What is the ISC2? Tell us again, ISC2... The International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium. Thanks for saying that for me. Is that why they have the two on there? That's right, that's right. I actually got all those words out right. So, it's the preeminent organization worldwide for certifications. They also have a foundation that does educational outreach to make everybody safer on the internet. Yes, very good stuff. Just on the internet. Now, I thought you had... CSSPs have eight domains. You even got physical security.  Yeah, the foundation is more focused on home users, the people out there, kids, adults, seniors, what they can do to keep themselves safe. Now, you have a whole new kids project going on. Yeah, you guys life and secure online. Yeah, tell us a little bit about the safe and secure online. What do we know now? It's a new program. Garfield is a spokesman. Andrew Davis created a couple of new characters because some of the other Garfield characters obviously don't know much about security. I don't think Odie can do much. No, no, no. But the kids one is focused on cyberbullying, why you shouldn't share your passwords among your friends. You know, a lot of stuff that security professionals take for granted, a lot of people just don't think about naturally. So the IEC has a URL. It's safeandsecureonline.org. And there's a section for kids, as I mentioned, a section for adults and a section for seniors. Seniors, for example, has how to avoid banking scams, how to set your computer up to be more secure, things like that. So it's really focused towards the target groups. And we as a chapter are building our safe and secure online program so that we can go out into the community and basically spread the word. This is what you can do to help yourself. We're going to provide some of that training. Oh, we're going to take the camera out. We have the mobile camera. We can go out and talk to people when we see them doing stuff. Oh, wouldn't that be great. On the street. Ask them some questions on the street. We'll just expose out bad. How many passwords do you have? One. That's the worst thing possible, right? What about having one password easy to remember across all my websites?  I mean, look what happened to Yahoo. What was that? Billions of accounts got breached. So people's Yahoo password and their account is sold on the dark web. And if you're using that for your banking account, then the guys can get into your bank. Steal your money. They can impersonate you. Maybe not as much as a financial risk, but damage your reputation. By a house in your name. All those things. There was a hack a couple of years ago. Someone got into the Apple version of this. And of course, Apple has the ability to not only find your Mac online, or find your iPhone, but also to wipe it remotely. So people were having their Macs wiped remotely by the hacker. And it was a big problem. They corrupted their credentials. They're losing all that data all of a sudden. That's a lesson learned, everybody. Backups, backups, backups. Those are some of the things we'll be talking about today. What you can do to protect yourself. Backups, the ransomware that's out there right now is just crazy. Make sure you take your backups and disconnect that external drive when you're finished. Because if you leave it connected, it's going to get encrypted by the ransomware. Because that is a physically mapped network drive. Exactly. As long as it's connected physically to your computer. If you go out there and fish for other computers on your network, we'll recognize that as a device it wants to get. So WannaCry, who encrypted your data on your computer, would see that remote as another computer. So even the backup is available to that server messaging block. We talked about how it transfers across there. That's an open door to that service. Right. Or use a cloud backup. Backup somewhere. Make sure it's disconnected. Backup at one location. That's what's great about cloud backups, right? So you're getting your cloud certification now. Yeah. So backup locations, if you're in, say, Amazon Web Services, they have multiple regions, multiple zones, and your backups are actually two or more of them. Right. And you can pick the zones you want, and you don't have to have two Northeastern California. You could have Virginia, you could have Oregon. And so if one goes down, there's cloud certification here. So that's a lot of security, and we're talking about online stuff. So what is the cloud certification from the ISC too? It's somewhat similar to the CISSP in that security is security. So the CISSP is a certified information system security professional. So that's the gold standard overall, right? So this one, the CCSP is geared towards cloud. Cloud specific stuff. Does it have the same security domains? It has similar domains. What I found studying was maybe 40% of it was review from the CISSP side of things, but of course there's a lot of new stuff being in the cloud. You have jurisdictional differences. A lot of countries have different laws, different regulations that you have to consider. Encryption is critical. You need to do diligence with your vendors. You need to make sure the guy's not going to go out of business. If you're storing your data in a cloud with a provider, how portable is it? What happens if you want to move to another provider? Can you do that? Or are they using a proprietary format of your data? How quickly can you get to it? If there's eDiscovery action against you and your data, is it in your SLA that you're going to be notified by the provider? What is eDiscovery? eDiscovery is when law enforcement wants to come look at your data for some reason. They think that maybe you've done something wrong. There's something there that they've obtained a warrant to basically look at. You could be a piece of a puzzle on another case. You're lucky if it's law enforcement that wants to look, and not someone else's lawyer with a claim. They might be paying for all that forensic discovery. And since so much of the cloud is multi-tenant, your data could actually be scooped up with another company's data. And now you have no control. Your data is out there. Your intellectual property, your confidential financial data, all of that. And these are all the concerns that the CCSP talks about, that you really need to know before you get into these things. Now it sounds a lot like the cloud for businesses is exceptionally similar to just social media accounts. Because we're doing the same thing. We're putting our pictures in Pinterest. We're posting our opinions on Twitter. We're putting our personal data in Facebook. We're doing all those things. What's the first step? Okay, so I raised four daughters. Now this stuff is just now becoming prevalent. Now they're all growing up in their 20s, they're in college. What do I tell my daughters? You have to think twice before you put anything up there. I was talking to my nephew last week and he was telling me about this friend of his who was saying, I don't care what I put up there. It's never going to come back and haunt me. And of course, you know, we can laugh being security people. But the thing is that most people can't imagine what goes through the hacker's minds. They are so creative in the way they can use that data to get you. Which you think is an innocent thing. I was reading about a woman she had posted pictures of herself in her kitchen. So somebody could look at that picture and say, oh, you have a Cuisinart product. I'm going to craft a spear phishing email to get you to click on a link. I'm going to tell you that your device has a defect. We need you to click here to register it. And boom, now we've dropped all of it. I'll do your warranty. Let's send you a new one. The other example I mentioned before was you go into LinkedIn and you see the CEO who does a lot of charity work. So you send him an email and say, hey, we're having a charity golf meet golf tournament. Because of your work in these other charities, we want to give you a VIP package. Click here to register. And maybe just maybe it's not trained. And it's golf and it's free.  And I've seen some amazingly crafted spear phishing attempts. So let me do that. That's not true. Phishing is when you send an email to somebody to get them to click on a malicious link or go to a site and enter personal data of some kind. So you can hack them somehow. Spear phishing is a targeted email to just that individual or small group of individuals. And we want to go for the whale like the CEO, CIO, the financial controller. And we want them to do something for us. Or we want the owner of a company to do something for us. But it could be somebody minor in the organization or not even in the organization. So like you said vetting vendors. The easiest way into some place big like the DOD. You get into a vendor first. And that small company is your pathway in. Look what happened to Target. They use the HVAC contractor. And networks weren't segmented. Meaning the customer data was on the same network that the traffic for the HVAC was for. And the POS. Which is what they all do. That cracked me up. They put the POS on the same network. A POS. Very big. Very big architecture. It should all be separated so that HVAC travels over its own little network. That's all it ever touches. This is one of the reasons we have to keep as technology professionals we have to keep going back and getting more training. Keep reading. It's constant. It's constant because when you first set up a network 15 years ago I'm going to do the same thing. My network works great. Now everything communicates everything functions perfect. It's just the way I want it. I didn't think to segment all these networks. That's an afterthought. But if you'd kept up with your education taking a cyber course. You read a couple of really bad articles about stuff like this.  Here's one I just read about in the New York Times. When you have your home wireless network a lot of people now have smart homes. That traffic needs to be on its own network. Don't look back to your PC. Exactly. Separated from that. A lot of what we're talking about is very sophisticated for the average home user. But it's possible to do. There's plenty of stuff out there. Documentation. You've got YouTube videos. All this kind of thing.  But you have to do more than use your best judgment. You have to be able to step back and say is there any vulnerability by me doing this? You're putting all your eggs in one basket. It's like the company that just got hacked recently. A lot of Fortune 500 companies were using it where they stored people's passwords for different systems. We won't mention the vendor. But all those credentials got stolen. All the people had to change their passwords which was a big hit to productivity. And the companies, the Fortune 500 companies using it had to recreate the secure connections to that company and jump through all kinds of hoops. And convenience. You install a new fridge in your home and say hey look at my new smart fridge and you take a picture of it. Now everybody, they can get on to Facebook and see that picture. Oh you've got that brand of smart fridge? Cool. What's the default password? Shodan.com I think the consumers, the problem with them is they really don't understand, as you mentioned when you can get an image of them or you know something that they have they are a target perhaps for their work and they just don't think about I will see if your wireless is locked down. This is what they are going to do.  Exactly. And when it comes to social media it's not just a matter of protecting yourself but also your family.  Thank God I did not fall victim to this because I don't do that but Ashley Madison. If you want to have it there you go secretly on this website and they got hacked. So these lists of people that were signed up for Ashley Madison, that's telling everybody I wanted to have an affair with my partner. How many marriages were ruined? Because these lists went public. And careers. That's a bad thing. Especially if you have a secure job somewhere, DOD, NSA, FBI you don't want that kind of stuff, public. If you have one of those jobs you shouldn't be doing that stuff. That's a good point. No matter what you do if it's a crime in the internet technology world today there is evidence of you no matter what you do to back out of that no matter what you do to race your tracks there's digital footprints everywhere. It's interesting how they have such trouble with attribution a lot of times and I don't know if they're really keeping that from us but we know that there's tracks and I often wonder why they struggle with attribution because maybe they're saving some of those final steps so they don't want to give to the bad guys where they're catching them what pathway they're coming across but it's interesting how you get from the media and from reliable sources we find that we've got all this information that really looks like this but you really hardly ever find somebody to attribute something to someone and say they definitely own this port this active address this MAC address thing from here without a doubt they know the first hop but they don't want to talk about it. They know that she printed that document on that printer from her workstation the printer puts microdops on the paper. Who knows about that except for geeks like ourselves so they know that she printed it on that printer she sent an email to I think it was The Intercept from that computer and you talk about attribution maybe somebody spoofed her credentials while she was at lunch and logged on and did that probably not I think if I have her access control walking in the building and her log her card to log into the system and all that and so we're going to have to take a break just for a second we're going to go pay some bills have a commercial here give us about a minute we'll be right back stay safe until then come back and see Andrew's security minute you're watching Think Tech Hawaii 25 talk shows by 25 dedicated hosts every week to understand the issues and events in and affecting our state great content for Hawaii from Think Tech Hi I'm Carol Cox I'm the new host on Eyes on Hawaii make sure you stay in the know on Hawaii join us on Tuesdays at 12 noon we will see you then Aloha Hey welcome back to the Cyber Underground I'm Andrew the security guide today we're kicking around a little bit of cyber security we're kicking around a little bit of passwords take time to take a look at your physical security system all those cameras the access control equipment see what kind of passwords have been deployed make sure that they're not just running administrator accounts that they've assigned users to stream video and got different passwords for those make sure they're managing that properly that's my security minute back to the gang we got the professor and we got Jeff Milford here today which we call him Mr. Perfect we got the professor you got the ok so shout out really quick to your show Hibachi Talk you and Gordo did a great show this week we had a film with Terry Rotary I had no idea what that was Gordo started a couple of clubs I just chartered this one with Josh 51 of them in Hawaii and the 51st was your guest founded that one yeah just a couple of months ago and myself helped charter it you helped charter it that's dynamite I had no idea I didn't sleep can you tell never you just do so much for the community it's fantastic and because you wished Gordo a happy birthday on the show it's fair game so you said it's this week so I'm going to shout out happy birthday Gordo happy birthday Gordo happy birthday Gordo and you held up the bottle of boneware yeah so we're looking for someone you want to be there when he opens that up so it was a good show and you guys always have a good time young guest though get back on there with us this conversation crosses all over cross pollinate let's get back to security Jeff that's why you're with us we have social networks that especially nowadays our youth uses these and not just teenagers we're talking about pre-teens we use this stuff I think their whole lives are on there realistically their whole lives for the taking if someone wants to get that data lives there forever on those servers of that provider buying large maybe some of them are show and they disappear snapchat maybe not these kids get a smart phone when they're very young they really don't understand the underlying technology no one explains it to them it's always connected to this ethereal thing called the internet it's always available and if friends can find you anywhere I wonder who else could they're not thinking that stuff so let's pretend we're parents we have small children and we actually make the terrible mistake I think of giving them a smart phone and saying here try out pinterest and facebook and all the other social media sites that pop up here all the time what would you say to parents some of the first steps to getting your kids to secure their social media accounts so they don't just broadcast all this information what are the dangers how do we stop it I think as a parent you have to stay interested you don't necessarily have to look over their shoulder constantly but you have to know what accounts they have maybe you log into their accounts and see what they've been up to periodically random audits same thing that happens to us in our work life you have to you can't scare people but you want them to understand the dangers one of the things the safe and secure online kids program talked about was the person who shared their social media account with their friend and as often happens with kids they had a fight and that person could log in as you and destroy your reputation at school by posting things or the girl that goes into the women's restroom and takes a compromising photograph and shares it with somebody I saw a video that was really disturbing because by the time the girl came back in the classroom that picture had been shared and you can't remove that it's like we say it's there forever people think oh I deleted that email well you deleted it maybe from your machine and maybe from your account but it's backed up somewhere it exists somewhere people don't understand that the internet isn't just one big entity and you can delete and post things there this is a compendium of other entities they're all millions and billions of physical devices and each time you go from device to device to pass your message along to its destination it leaves a little bit of itself behind and it's up to that device whether or not it wants to clear that out or keep it around and if it's a server and it's got a lot of memory and it's not set up right it could keep it forever there's a lot of tools that are constantly scraping all of those little hops for information that they can sell or use against you or whatever and I think people don't understand the information gathering power that's out there sort of against you if you put numbers in line it look like a social security number or it look like a bank account number it gets scraped it's just tools you hope that your email is encrypted but is it through every hop in between every hop that it takes things like that it's not always clear that you're being protected that way even going to the dark web on tour like we talked about before the last hop from the tour network to your destination if that's not HTTPS it's in the clear and people can see where you came from and what you're doing and all the traffic goes back and forth and people should assume that their information is in the clear when you're putting that stuff out there you should just assume your grandmother is going to read it whoever that you would be most embarrassed by reading that kind of information you should presume that they're going to have access to it and don't get mad that people do that I hear people so this comes up in my classes every single year the Edward Snowden debate good guy bad guy and I just let it go I want to hear what people think I'm not going to issue an opinion right on the show however I will say that everything Edward Snowden did that he exposed was already put into law in 2002 we did the Patriot Act had you read the Patriot Act I did it was boring as hell however it was a little bit scary I knew that this could happen it didn't say this will happen but we're giving permission for people like Verizon to do exactly what they did they weren't breaking the law and it was no surprise to me but nobody else read what they were voting for so be aware that's a good tip you talked about how to start kids off and if you can make that child your child or your neighbor's child whatever that mouthpiece for that to help their friends be secure we shouldn't talk about this you shouldn't do that online and here's why if you can get them thinking securely because I think the US is probably a little further behind that than countries like Germany where there's a little more awareness there about privacy privacy and there's law coming out a year to change the game of the international business so I just think our education process is starting too late we're willing to give the device and you go lose your mind but we're not giving you any guidance to take along with the device we need a little training program there I really think so imagine the CISSP for youth that's a great idea why don't you start them off young one of the things I see kids doing a lot is sharing passwords and sharing it but to share the username and password of the text for our audience members out there cell phones are radios they broadcast in all directions all the time unencrypted unless you specifically encrypt something so when you text you're telling the entire world that text and there are Linux distributions that you can put on a laptop that have all the tools a hacker needs the reason there of course is for the white hat hackers to do good things however you could sit in a Starbucks or any other place with public wifi you can do lots of really bad things and kids will use open wifi a lot to save on cellular transmission costs we have data levels now and to save the companies tell you hey keep your wifi on and use somebody else's wifi and we won't charge you your cellular data on your data plan oh great I got free wifi but it's not secure it's just open probably not even the you're probably not even on the access point you think you're on somebody sitting there you should run Wireshark on that first so they should teach kids to use Wireshark that would be an interesting class in high school let's break open Wireshark Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer we scan traffic, we can see what's in the packets we can see all the clear text it's not encrypted when you see that when you see the packet capture and go oh my god that's my password right there wow I do that with my students unfortunately our average age student is 26 so by the time we get them they've been doing this for a lot of years when should we start them 14, 12 when are they getting these devices these kids are getting it at ages 8 and 9 a phone, a smart phone I see that all the time and that's not recent when I was that age her friends were having a smart phone it's just a little scary so getting back to what you said one of the filters you could use for the kids is I don't want to ever see anything on your social media account that you couldn't tell me or tell grandma tell grandma or something like that anything you say you need to you need to filter yourself tell them you're watching don't think you're watching it's weapons free because you know how kids are because they're going to do whatever you tell them not to do that was the easiest punishment I can't believe we're coming up in the last minute of the show we've got to do this part 2 of the show we've got to come back and let's do more social media security because there's all kinds of settings we can go through on Facebook and Twitter so we'll do that really soon hardening an app you've got to harden your security account you don't want to post to everybody what's the biggest tip you can give us in the last minute of the show for everybody watching do a backup you never know when ransomware is going to hit you there's a company called Cyber Reason all one word that has a free version of ransomware and it creates folders traps on your machine to try to trap the ransomware it's not enterprise ready but it's something so do your backups also do your updates so it doesn't occur to people smart TVs have updates there's security updates your router from oceanic or hawaiian tell Apple TV those updates the updates for your phone all of those things need to be run immediately in the past we used to kind of laugh and giggle because some of Microsoft's updates were not as friendly as they could have been they've got much better so the second Tuesday of every month is when Windows releases its updates patch Tuesday yep I live for those patch Tuesdays make sure all of our machine the windows 10 does it automatically if you set it that way but I go back in make sure all the updates have been applied and then I remember oh this is a good time to go in and look at my router check my router to see if there's an update so backups are a good tip we're going to have to wrap up the show thanks for being with us and remember when you're out there stay safe


I have with me Kate Stannis, the global chairperson and CCO of Sachi and Sachi, a very, very respected creative profession. Which is why we want to really ask you, how would you compare yourself, you know, when you joined the industry several years ago, with the new blood that's joining today? I think you're very kind, several years ago, it's many centuries ago. I think there are sort of things that are similar, I think there are, and of course differences, but I think they're basic, if I think about myself when I started, and the people that are joining. I think there is always an inherent curiosity that creative people have. And I think that sort of goes from generation to generation. I think you need that sort of curious mind to discover things, to be interested in things. I think a lot of advertising creatives are problem solvers, and I think our job is sort of solving problems in interesting, compelling stories. So I think those are some basic traits that just haven't changed. It is different, I think. I think this is a generation that does things on their terms. And I don't think I have that confidence to do that. I sort of went with the system and the flow, and learned how to do it, but I think there is a really, it's an amazing quality actually to have a self-confidence, a self-belief and kind of get a sense of who you are in the world. And therefore, often they ask, what's your company going to do for me? Not. Yeah, you could say that's good or bad, but I think there is a slight difference that actually before we would join businesses and be very much part of that, I think now there is a sort of job for agencies and businesses to make sure that they are attractive as environments for young people to want to come and work with, that share their values, which I think are very important to them. And I don't think I was as sophisticated in understanding what my motivations were. And I think we get a lot of people coming into the business that do understand. And you have two young NCDs in India leading the business. Yes. What would be your advice then? Well, I think, you know, thinking about when you first become a CD, it is really different to being a creative. And that's something that you learn by doing. So no one can really teach you. And so I think the best advice is you have to throw yourself in. You go with your instincts. You've been given that opportunity because you're really good at what you did. But now you need to learn how you help others be really good. You know, so I think that's one of the things that you learn, that you make a step from kind of being your own boss in a way, because you're thinking about your ideas. It's about sort of, you don't need to think about how you need to sell that to clients, da-da-da-da-da. And actually, and maybe you're working a little bit on your own. I think when you're a project director, it's about building teams. It's about trying to motivate to sometimes have a North Star to set a vision for everyone. So I think it's often about creating the right environment for other people to thrive. For me, that was always about creating a culture that was fearless. So people didn't worry about failure. But I think it's about really saying, what is the best environment where the people that are working with me can thrive? Ananda Birre, can we have a talk about awards? I think Elingi Sachi and Sachi had this one entry. Everybody loved back in India for the set look at the camp. Yes. But it hasn't secured many shortcomings. Unfortunately, it's really different. Yes. And the last time that I think Elingi Sachi and Sachi had one look at and I was 2017, which is like many years ago. How important are awards to you as an agency? And would you really, really want them to be aggressive with regard to awards? So when you say aggressive, I do not believe anyone should pursue awards. I think they should pursue great work and great work for clients.
