| 0:00.0 | KFI AM 640. You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the IHeart Radio app. |
| 0:06.3 | Wayne Resnick filling in here for one more day. And that means throughout the show, you're going to hear a couple three stories that relate to what's going on in the news right now that come from my experience with the feds dealing with |
| 0:22.1 | criminal cases. But we're going to start off with something that is affecting, well, not everybody. |
| 0:27.4 | It's not affecting Mac people. I don't think it's affecting Unix people. But the blue screen of |
| 0:34.3 | death, you Windows people know it well. Made travel, banking, company networks, |

| 1:34.1 | cycle of trying to turn on, but then it can't log in, so you have to restart it, and it just |
| 1:38.7 | brings you back to that blue screen of death. So that is the situation that airlines, as you mentioned, |
| 1:45.3 | banks, hospitals, |
| 1:52.0 | even 911 operators, media organizations, including ABC News, and many others found themselves in, really all throughout today. And so Crown Strike is a security company. Yeah. And if I understand it, and this is super reductive, but you have security, you can have security |
| 2:08.3 | on your back-end servers, and you can have endpoint security. |
