MOTHER OF ALL BREACHES! (26 Billion Records?!) | Technado Ep. 344

Today on Technado, Don, Dan and Sophie are joined by a lizard (yes, really) to bring you the latest in tech news. Google is cracking down on 2FA requirements - even revoking support for certain third-party apps. In Microsoft news, the company is setting a 16-gig default for RAM for so-called "AI PCs." Finally, for fans of Linux, Ubuntu is working on installer support for NVMe-over-TCP.
After a quick break (and a hunt for a lizard), the team jumps into this week's security news: first up, a German court convicted a "hacker" for...warning the public about a security vulnerability. Then, Microsoft's network got pwned through a password-spraying attack. And to wrap up the show, the Technado crew breaks down "the mother of all breaches": is it as scary as it sounds?

Don caught it because he was a kid before devices and actually learned to be locally aware of things and especially things from nature. He probably played outside where danger actually existed that could sneak up on him. Today you see people who walk 500 mile and then another 500 mile without ever looking up for their devices.🤪🤣

I know several Linux admins that use mutt with an application password to send email to the SMS gateways of Verizon, AT&T, etc for alerting. Google's policy will likely send them to another email provider...
