In this out-of-cycle episode, I chat with Gabby Bowles who is the Business Development Manager for the Central Coast Mariners Football Club. Recently, Gabby's Facebook account was hacked. Whilst you may think "big deal, if someone wants to hack my Facebook account, good for them I have nothing of value", it's not just about a hacker profiting from the hack, it's the inconvenience caused by such a hack. Gabby takes us through how she found out she was hacked, her experience with Facebook's support and that sick feeling that comes with someone accessing something that is supposed to be private. This is a must listen episode for anyone who has a Facebook account or uses any sort of social media.

In this episode, we'll discuss the topic of the month - multi-factor authentication.

I'll update you on current vulnerability news, we've heard about PrintNightmare, what are some of the other fun names hackers have given their vulnerabilities? I'll list my top 11 fun vulnerability names and we'll find out the program that is "vulnerable by design", the answer is unbelievable.

This is the introduction episode for the Cyber Security Business Connect and Protect Central Coast initiative, we talk about the Essential Eight, why it is important to start taking cyber security more seriously and we discuss news from the cyber security world.
