Hello, Hackers!
Episode description
While it's easy to become disillusioned to the topic of security in this day and age, we have to stay well informed on the types of attacks that are out there, and what tools and practices we should have in place to combat them. So, on this episode, Josh and Micah talk to a hack victim, a "WordPress hater", and two security experts to get some insight and practical help.
