Hackers Can Spy on You... (No Webcam Required?!) | Technado Ep. 346

This week on Technado, Microsoft confirms the impending arrival of Windows Server 2025 (and the inevitable death of WordPad). In other "way of the dodo" news, Apple declared the last MacBook Pro with an optical drive (read: CD player) obsolete. And in Linux news, GRUB2 has some things in the works, including TPM2 automatic disk unlock.
In the world of cybersecurity, the FBI issued some covert commands to remove Chinese malware from routers - but is this anything more than a Band-Aid solution? Then, AnyDesk fell victim to a breach - but exactly how bad the breach was (or when it happened) no one seems to know for sure. Finally, the return of the TinFoil Hat segment: hackers can still spy on you even if you tape over your webcam - or don't have a webcam at all.

Haha, haven't heard the name Sub7 in a really long time... Back in the day I got in trouble at school for deploying that on teachers computers and opening the "cup holder" during class.

Always enjoy listening to the show.

27:31 there’s a few episodes missing. I listened to episode 6 on Apple podcast about a ddos attack, but can’t find it on UA-cam.
