Madison Square Garden Sports, owners of the NBA champion New York Knicks, ran a phishing simulation before the Oct. 20 banner-raising ceremony. Employees received emails offering free championship rings but were told they had failed the test and needed mandatory cybersecurity training. No rings were distributed. The podcast also covers a hacktivist group breach of the Department of Homeland Security and a claim of Chinese intelligence targeting a NVIDIA CEO.
