On Monday, I highlighted the Vtech breach. A hacker was able to steal millions of records from an online kid’s toy manufacturer, which including information about children. Over the past day, we’ve learned two new updates about this story. One increases the scope of the breach, and the other explains how it happened (Spoiler: my hunch was correct). Watch today’s for these updates, and to learn how to protect your web site from the flaw that allowed this attack.
Show note: This is Wednesday’s episode, but technical issues delayed my posting until today.
