Tonight's episode features an email from listener Bill about a recent DDOS attack on his school. The concerning thing about this attack is that it has happened twice in a week from the same IP address. He is worried they are trying to find his firewall's breaking point.
The majority of this episode is dedicated to an interview with Shahryar Khazei. Shahryar is the former (retired) CIO of LA Unified Schools. He talks about his long career with LA Unified, some of the struggles and accomplishments, and current trends of in K12 IT. We really appreciate the time he spent with us!

This is a rough episode. Mark and Josh started off good, but Chris was late, and... after he joined... the wheels fell off.
Mark ends up cussing, and we had to beep it out or we would have been forced to give a NC-17 rating to this episode. Mark has been reprimanded and a letter placed in his file. Our apologies for his lack of professionalism.
Josh talks about getting more phishing emails with emotet payload and uploading the attachments to virustotal.com. Mark gives Josh a tip on using wheregoes.com to track down Bitly links. Near the end of the episode, Chris and Josh talk about the MidwestTechTalk Technical Conference at Lake of the Ozarks, and Chris announces the newest project for the MWTT/K12TT family... K12TechPro... K12TechPro.com... By K12 Tech Pros, for K12 Tech Pros. It's a website with industry leading tips and discussions about tech items in the K12 world.
