Hello and welcome to the Wednesday, July 30th,

0:03.7

20, 2025 edition of the Sands and then at Storm Center's Stormcast.

0:08.8

My name is Johannes Ulrich, recording today from Jacksonville, Florida.

0:13.2

And this episode is brought to you by the Sands.edu graduate certificate program

0:18.1

in penetration testing and ethical hacking.

0:22.4

Well, and today was again Apple's surprise update. Everything Day. Apple doesn't have a schedule

0:28.7

for this last time you had an event like this was, I believe, back in May. It was somewhat

89 different vulnerabilities that were patched.

1:32.8

Initially, I had 29 here.
