022. How to Ethically Hack a Human with guest Dr. Aunshul Rege

Cyber crime can seem like something that only the most technically advanced people could pull off. But with last year's MGM hack, attackers basically had the door held open for them as they logged in with valid credentials they engineered someone to give them, stole company data and demanded payment. In this episode, we’ll learn how to protect ourselves and our information by learning how humans are vulnerable tech. You won’t want to miss this.
