With the short week for the Thanksgiving holiday in the US, the Technado team decided to have a little fun by looking back at some of the dumbest tech headlines from 2019.

The team had a blast this week talking with hacker, mentor, and diversity in tech advocate Tanya Janca about her new venture, Security Sidekick.
