Description
Justin Fimlaid (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jfimlaid/) and Jack Danahy (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackdanahy/) are talking about the recent 26.6B records found exposed. While the records are mainly old, the Pwned perspective is always new. Listen in for some history, some discussion of other expert views like Troy Hunt and others, and a perspective on whether this Mother of All Breaches may in fact be more of a news story and less of a new story.View Troy's article: Troy Hunt: The Data Breach "Personal Stash" Ecosystem (https://www.troyhunt.com/the-data-breach-personal-stash-ecosystem/)View the original MOAB post: Mother of All Breaches: ​a Historic Data Leak Reveals 26 Billion Records | Cybernews (https://cybernews.com/security/billions-passwords-credentials-leaked-mother-of-all-breaches/)Key Takeaways:00:00 – Title Sequence00:45 – Introduction to topic: Mother of All Breaches02:24 – Public Reaction03:42 – Where Did the Records Come From?05:28 – Mystery Leads to Uproar08:25 – Biggest Takeaway From the Breach10:53 – Making Improvements, But Still a Long Way to Go13:13 – Complex Passwords and Password Vaults15:40 – AI-Generated Code 18:00 – SummaryIf you have any questions or suggestions, send us an email at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]).For general information, you can reach us at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]).If you like our content, please like, share, and subscribe!
