Pwned: The Information Security Podcast
Episode 196 - The Recent MOAB Event -- Mother or Just Another?
Justin Fimlaid and Jack Danahy are talking about the recent 26.6B records found exposed. While the records are mainly old, the Pwned perspective is always new. Listen in for some history, some discussion of other expert views like Troy Hunt and others, and a perspective on whether this Mother of All Breaches may in fact be more of a news story and less of a new story.
