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.

Josh recaps a crazy week where everything from a NAS to Gmail to Papercut broke. Mark brings up an email that mistakenly got sent to many more people than it was intended, and that reminds Josh of a hilarious similar incident. The guys talk about an email from listener Adam. Finally, Mark and Josh quickly talk about ECF and Erate windows closing. Oh yeah, and Chris is absent this week (*cough* loser).
If you have a funny email incident, email us and let us know!
