Tue Mar-5-2024: Super Tuesday Vigilance, GitHub’s Malware Onslaught, and GDPR’s Unexpected Savings

In today’s episode of the Business of Tech, Dave Sobel covers the intersection of politics and technology on Super Tuesday, highlighting the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) efforts to secure the voting process against nation-state hackers and domestic threats. CISA has launched the Election Operations Center and an election resources page to tackle potential security issues. Additionally, the episode discusses the massive malware attack GitHub is currently battling, which involves millions of code repositories. We also touch upon the cost-saving benefits of GDPR compliance in reducing data storage and processing expenses. Lastly, we look forward to the Threads API release this summer and its implications for developers.
