Hackers Stopped America's Milk Supply | Mac Malware Epidemic | 23andMe's DNA Settlement

This week the internet came for your fridge, your laptop and your DNA, and it wasn't subtle about any of it. Hackers hit Coca-Cola's dairy brand fairlife with ransomware and shut down US milk production. Mac users are under fire from two new malware strains — one that holds your computer hostage until you type your password in, and another disguising itself as Apple's own crash reporter. And 23andMe is paying $18 million over the breach that exposed millions of people's genetic data. That's the one you genuinely cannot fix by resetting a password. Also this week: Lidl customers caught in a supplier breach they knew nothing about, the two young men behind the Transport for London hack jailed for five and a half years each, scammers hiding remote access tools inside fake greeting cards, Microsoft's biggest ever Patch Tuesday followed within hours by a researcher dropping a brand new unpatched bug, and a BitLocker flaw that quietly undermined encrypted laptop security. In Security Socials: a ChatGPT hallucination that sent someone on a wasted road trip, a ClickFix awareness video with half a million likes and the comment section that explains exactly why we keep talking about this stuff, the AI facial recognition case that put an innocent grandmother in jail for five months, and a law firm that used one shared master password for everything.
