Episode description
The Netflix documentary, Unknown Number: The High School Catfish, has exposed the ease with which people can anonymously target, harass, and threaten individuals online. October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an important time to understand the ways in which seemingly common technology can be weaponized against us.
Head of Faculty at SANS Institute, Heather Barnhart, provides her expertise on digital forensics and later details her own experience with digital harassment as well.
