Terrapin Small Biz ConnectionCould a 'Vulnerability Test' Be Your Business' Secret Weapon?In episode 30 of the Team Nerd Tech Show (and our first-ever extended video cut!), Tim and Ruthy are chatting first about Facebook: are they really listening through your microphone in order to send you more targeted ads? Also, what the heck is a vulnerability test for small business? Let alone a 'pen test' (penetration test'? Tim tells us the difference between the two and whether it's worth it for small businesses to even do them in the first place and how to go about getting it done. We're also discussing a new pair of 'robot shorts' that makes walking...
