We regularly share a lot of information these days with various websites over the internet. Be it our email address or phone number. And we trust that the private information we share willingly stays with these websites. But sometimes, for various reasons, this data gets leaked to the public domain. It means anyone now has access to our data which we shared online with a trusted source. Now, how do we know what data was leaked and by which organisation? How do we protect ourselves in case our data is in that breach?

In this week's talk, Amit and Rinat talk with Troy Hunt, an Australian security researcher and founder of the data breach notification service, Have I Been Pwned, about his website, the various ways an individual can try protecting their data, and a lot more!
