This is the second of two experimental bonus episodes I really wanted to do. Today I invited my non-technical friend, Alex, over to ask me whatever is on her mind. Most of the time it's tech related, sometimes it's about the Loch Ness monster.  So today, before I go on a little vacation, I wanted to share one of those discussions with you.

This is a bonus episode for the new year at the request of a few listeners. There isn't a major hack here, this is about two things.

1. My process for making episodes

2. An experiment I did this year keeping track of all new media I consumed and ranking it.

Is there such a thing in "good" hacking in media? Or are we doomed to watch two people type on one keyboard. Let's talk the good side before we go bad.

Let's revisit another APT. This time, we're moving over to China to talk APT1.

It's that time of year, what better way to hop back in than to talk IoT and holiday hacks.

Let's talk about two stories this week. First we'll dive into the CrowdStrike fiasco from a few weeks ago and then we'll see what happens when a company accidentally hires a North Korean spy. 

Let's have a chat?

Remember when almost half the country had all the information needed for any kind of loan stolen? Pepperidge Farm Remembers.  

Let's talk about Swatting. The dangerous practice that's part cyber crime, part real crime, and always a terrible idea.

This week, we're going to chat one of the most well known hacking groups of all time. The "Cult of the Dead Cow".
