Disinformation and Misinformation - What’s it all about?

Thank you to our amazing guests Dr Jessica Barker and Madeline Howard for joining Nat and Helen on the Ladies Hacking Society podcast.

Here are the cyber heroes we shout out in this episode and the resources we mention!

Madeline's cyber heroes are the Wyedean Cyber Crew: https://twitter.com/WyedeanComputes

Jess' cyber heroes: everyone in the big round dome in Cheltenham and other special agencies that keep us all safe. Thank you!

Natalie's cyber hero is a champ called James, but he's not on social media, so we're just going to leave a wave here for him ;-)

Helen's cyber heroes are the volunteers at The Cyber Helpline. Check them out and support their work here: https://www.thecyberhelpline.com/
