AGAIN!  It's seriously the most interesting part of Cyber right now.  Travelers Insurance is attempting to get a court to release it from paying a company because a company did not use MFA everywhere.  Super interesting.  Additionally we discuss Huawei and forced removal of equipment, and a prison break in Nigeria.  We are all over the place this week.
