In this episode of the Cybersecurity Brief podcast, we delve into some of the most pressing developments in the world of cyber defense and digital privacy. Kicking off with a recent Microsoft Windows update, we explore the unintended creation of the ‘inetpub’ folder and Microsoft’s urging users not to delete it due to potential system security repercussions.

Major breaches take center stage, including attacks on the U.S. Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Morocco’s social security system, and the Laboratory Corporation of America, each exposing vast amounts of sensitive data.
