Apple recently issued a warning to iPhone users in a support article, noting that scammers are increasingly using FaceTime to impersonate banks and steal user data.

In this episode, I'm joined by Clayton LiaBraaten, Senior Executive Advisor at Truecaller, to break down how these impersonation scams actually develop, why a live video call feels so trustworthy, and what we can all do to stop them.

In this episode, I break down some of the notable new security and privacy changes Apple announced at WWDC26 last week. Siri AI was the headline reveal, but we also got a new iPhone recovery mode, small but meaningful Find My privacy changes, an agentic AI Passwords feature in iOS 27, and tighter parental controls across both operating systems.

I also dig into the privacy architecture behind all the new Apple Intelligence features, and what all these changes mean for admins once you factor in managed devices and work accounts.

We get into who's actually falling victim, why it exploded so fast, how Mac malware is evolving in 2026, the current landscape, and more.

In this episode, I break down what I think is the most significant finding from Jamf's latest Security 360 report: trojan malware now accounting for over 50% of all Mac malware detections. This is up from roughly 17% just a year prior and beats out infostealers for the number one spot. But its not as simple as trojans are just getting popular...

It basically comes down to one malware family, Atomic Stealer (shocker), which is now simultaneously sitting at the top of both the trojan and infostealer categories. That dual classification is reshaping how we should think about the Mac threat landscape, because the old lines between malware categories I think are blurring.

We get into why not all VPNs are created equal, how exactly websites are identifying you and tracking your moments across tabs, and how Psylo tackles all of this by giving every tab its own isolated silo, complete with a separate IP address, memory, storage, and more.

In this episode, I sit down with Talal, one-half of the duo behind the Mysk security research X account and co-founder of Psylo, a privacy-focused iOS browser app that takes a fundamentally different approach to private browsing. We get into why not all VPNs are created equal, how exactly websites are identifying you and tracking your moments across tabs, and how Psylo tackles all of this by giving every tab its own isolated silo, complete with a separate IP address, memory, storage, and more. If you care about browser privacy on your iPhone, this one's worth a listen. Here's my conversation with Talal.

We dive into the meteoric rise of infostealers, which have secured their spot as one of the most prolific threats facing Mac users in 2026. We break down why the tide has turned for macOS, how these threats actually land on your machine, and how they have evolved into something far more concerning than just a simple smash-and-grab.

The second part of this conversation will be released later in February.

Jaron also shares his 2026 threat outlook.
