Well look at that…we’re already 8 episodes into the new podcast. Thanks to everyone who has downloaded and listened, and if you like what we’re doing, please tell a friend.

Just after we recorded last week, an unsealed indictment disclosed the hacking efforts of accused Russian intelligence agents who gained access to Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and Democratic National Convention (DNC) networks. While many of the news headlines focused on the political implications, we’ll dig into how the hackers did it. Spoiler alert, we see far too many “hacker 101” techniques successfully employed.

Also, we pick the brain of our resident Wi-Fi security expert to learn how hackers exploit weak Wi-Fi security practices, and offer some practical advice for both business and consumers to protect themselves.
