HN 12 - The Dark Side of Hacking: Russian Hackers' Infrastructural Shift and Google AI's Fuzzing
Episode description
In the Dark Side of Hacking, we take a look at how Russian Hackers have shifted their focus to attacking infrastructure rather than individuals after being identified and putting victims through panic.
