October is "international cyber security awareness month" or as I've dubbed it, Hacktoberfest. In this episode we talk about the Equifax breach of 2017 and how this aided hackers steal identities. We look at the Epik hack and why Loyal I.T.'s Managing Director (Michael Goodwin) had his data leaked in the breach. We talk briefly about the excellent haveibeenpwned.com website. We look at a new type of attack that is now denying services and asking for a ransom. We look at the Mirai botnet and how you could be unknowingly contributing to it. REvil is back and I look at their "Happy Blog". We also talk a little about a brand new technology secuiring Microsoft online services that you really should be implementing on your accounts. We talk Windows Updates and I talk about my top 10 hacking tools.
