Episode Synopsis

This episode of LMScast with Chris Badgett features Shaun James from Pentester University. They discuss security for your course platform and website. Chris and Shaun share their experiences with hacking and how to protect yourself from it.

Shaun teaches people how to do penetration tests on websites and systems. Penetration testers are hackers that get hired to test security flaws in a system and they inform the customer about these risks in order to help prevent a real attack.

Shaun loves the cybersecurity business, and he has ever since he was young. He loves solving puzzles, and that is exactly what penetration testing is. Shaun shares his journey from learning penetration testing himself to how he started to share that information with others and gained a large following. He is now teaching people how to do penetration testing with online courses on his website.

There is always a small risk that you will get attacked by a hacker when you are online. You should learn how to prevent and mitigate attacks, but you should not shy away from the internet all together. Shaun and Chris discuss the different type of security attacks that can occur to your course platform and how you can go about preventing them.

Hackers can gain access to your information through wifi connection and bluetooth, so it is important to be aware of that possibility. They also talk about what you can do in order to protect your computer’s camera and microphone from being hacked.
