Hey, it's Kim Commando today, your daily podcast to keep you up to date with all things digital and beyond.

And I'd love to have you be a part of our podcast. You can make an appointment to speak with me.

Just head over to commando.com and on the top right, there's a button that says email, Kim.

I always like to begin with something interesting.

And let me tell you, there has just been a ton of layoffs in the tech industry in the last month or so.

Listen to these numbers.

Yahoo is laying off 1600.

eBay 500.

Zoom, 300.

Dell, 6,650.

PayPal, 2000.

Now, again, this is just since January 1st. IBM, 3,900, Groupon, 500.

Is Groupon even still a thing? I don't know. Microsoft 10,000. Google, 12,000. Amazon, 18,000. Okay,

you get the drift. Now, even as all this is happening, guess who else is getting laid off? It's

unbelievable to me. Hackers are reportedly getting laid off by these organized crime groups because

we're getting better at fighting ransomware attacks and we're not paying up as easily as we did

say over the last two years. But could you just imagine the job interview? So what did you do at your last job?

Well, I planted malware on schools, police departments, the DOJ, and I demanded that they pay up

or we would just destroy all their data. You know, pretty much run-of-the-mill stuff, but I went to

hacker rehab. And I don't know if you've heard of it. It's called Anonymous Anonymous.

Get it?

Hacker Rehab.
