The Weekly Security and Tech Review: Recent Episodes
None
Jesse Lesperance, Stanley Chan and Robert Smith discuss some theories on why data that was stolen in the 2017 Equifax breach has yet to show up on the dark web.
With the breach taking place in late 2017, and with the data not turning up on the dark web, some security experts are suspecting that the responsible party may be a State-sponsored actor with the goal of using the data for spying.
NOTE: Jesse’s headset mic stopped working part way through the episode, causing him to have to use his system’s built in mic.
