Welcome to the first podcast of 2020, podcast 333. Below, please find a list of items and links where applicable as the topics of the podcast are listed below.
- Breaches galore, the epidemic of whats happened in the last decade. Are we really looking for more trouble, or will it slow down?
- Freshbooks: thank you so much for giving me a great reason for talking about you today. On this podcast, I talk about how I had to reinstall the Freshbooks app, and how easy it was to reauthenticate with my account. I was afraid that I was needing to grab my 20 character password and paste in the password field. Not anymore!
- Twit.tv has a new sponsor on their list that spomnsors segments on Security Now. Sadly, I can't take advantage of it at this time, but it looks like something we could've and should've had many years ago. Learn about privacy.com and see if it will meet your needs.
- Michael in Indiana and I talked about software and reminisced about the old days of how downloading the wrong software wasn't fatal, but just a havoc. Today, this isn't the case. I mention Stuxnet as an example of software that was developed and it did some real world damage. Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World's First Digital Weapon: by Kim Zetter is the name of the book and its author. I read this through Kindle and I may have talked about this on my podcast when I did. If this is the first actual weapon that destroyed data and things that were going on, is something else being developed we yet don't know about?
As usual, our contact information is at the end of the program, and I hope you enjoy this first podcast. I'll be back on another edition very soon. Thanks so much for listening to this 71 minute program!
