Welcome back to The Techtual Talk! This week, HD and @Cybershortieee dive deep into the wildest tech breaches, career shakeups, and security nightmares hitting the headlines right now. From an unprecedented cyber attack entirely executed by artificial intelligence to millions of leaked identities right here in Texas, we are breaking down what you need to know to stay protected.

We also unpack the brutal reality of the current tech job market—including a viral TikTok clip of an engineer who hung up on a combative interviewer mid-call, the hidden traps of work-from-home customer service roles, and why big corporations like Zoom and Deloitte are quietly gutting your employee benefits.
