Welcome to Tech Refresh with Kim Commando and friends from Commander.com with a K. That's

K-O-M-A-N-D-O. The gang's all here, Kim, Ali, Ben. I'm Mike, and today the deep dive is about

text versus apps. We're kind of going to talk about how you communicate with your text apps,

if you do, the privacy, privacy security behind it and we've got

our scam of the week coming up as well as always we start with the news and here's kim i actually

have two stories today mike is that okay that's fine all right so first of all you're the boss you

sign the checks everything's okay you can do three know what? I'm here I just thought you loved

me for me, just being me. I'm sure we've all seen the news about the pipeline on the East Coast, right?

I mean, going up and down. Until last week, you probably never even heard of the 5,500-mile colonial

pipeline. Now, it supplies gasoline to cities and towns.

I'll just name the states. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North and South

Carolina, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, all from refineries in Houston.

Did you notice how I just said New Jersey? New Jersey.

You say, New Jersey. That's because I'm from New Jersey? New Jersey. New Jersey.

That's because I'm from New Jersey.

But what was really interesting to me about all this, it was a typical ransomware attack that usually begins, you know, when someone opens an email, unleashing a virus onto the network.

So, yes, we're going to be blaming the hackers. But it's really a reminder of the importance of just having some basic security, running the most up-to-date version of all your software.

Of course, Apple makes updating your iPhone just painless.

Windows, how many issues have we had so far this year, Ben?

How many?

Or this week, even?

Yes.
