Episode 7 -- Breach Week Special! Perfectionism is the enemy of publishing on time. It's another week and we've got a solid hour of discussion about the stuff that's important in the world of infosec this week. DISCLAIMER: It's not that explicit, but you may want to use headphones if you're at work. ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER: In case it is unclear, this is the story of 4 opinionated infosec pros who have sufficient opinions of their own they don't need to speak for anyone except themselves. Ok? Good. In this episode:

                  So this is the summer of breaches, the hits keep on rolling, my running total of stolen passwords is now at over 10 million accounts. I’ve got a small website (redacted) and I don’t know if I’m doing security right. Help a lady out will ya? Also, will this ever end?


                  Cheers
