This week on the Signal vs. Noise cybersecurity podcast: one person with a laptop and an AI chatbot broke into 395 organizations in 48 countries, most of them schools, through the same piece of printing software.

In twelve of them the attacker ended up holding the keys to the whole network. In the other 383, the attacker got the print server and the passwords on it, and stopped there.

The difference was not budget or headcount. It was what one boring box was allowed to reach.

Why you have something like that box, why patching cannot be the whole plan when the warning, the fix and the attack all land in the same week, and the one question to ask your IT company tonight: if that box got hit, what could it reach?

Five minutes, hosted by Jane.
