Public Wi-Fi Pitfalls, Password Panic & Microsoft Mayhem

In this episode of TechWatch Radio, Sam Bushman and Jay Harrison discuss the dangers of public Wi-Fi and explain why connecting at your local coffee shop might be like using a public restroom with no stalls. They dive into how Wi-Fi “pineapples” can silently spoof trusted networks and why your phone’s memory of old connections could be a serious security risk. Jay offers proactive cybersecurity tips, including how to audit your device's saved networks and the benefits of using your phone as a personal hotspot.

Then, they tackle Microsoft's latest shake-ups, starting with the abrupt gutting of Microsoft Authenticator’s password management features. Sam and Jay critique the tech giant’s handling of core authentication tools and question the wisdom of removing mission-critical functionality with little warning. They also cover the quiet cancellation of Microsoft Store versions of Office apps and discuss what it means for users stuck in the confusing maze of Microsoft’s “click-to-run” versus store-installed apps. To close on a brighter note, they highlight Microsoft's unexpected offer: free Extended Security Updates for Windows 10 — perhaps a sign the Windows 11 push isn’t going as planned. Tune in for real-world tech insight that cuts through the clutter!
