Episode 215 - PowerSchool Hacker Has Been Caught!

Josh and Mark dive into the arrest of the notorious PowerSchool hacker, revealing the unexpected identity of the mastermind behind one of the year's biggest cyber breaches. Join them as they speak with cybersecurity expert Michael Klein, who provides insights into the hacker's profile and discusses the implications for school districts and policymakers moving forward.

The discussion doesn't stop there. The hosts also examine two contrasting approaches to school security: one from a Texas startup using drones equipped with pepper spray and flashbangs, and another from Virginia employing AI for weapons detection. The episode explores the effectiveness and potential consequences of these tech-driven safety solutions.
