Episode Synopsis

Rather than referring our weekly podcast panelists as security experts, we’re now introducing them as security practitioners. Why? A popular business article on mindset brought to our attention the perils of having self-proclaimed titles, such as experts and gurus. It signals our “thirst for knowledge in a particular subject has been quenched.” That is far from reality! Security is a constantly evolving field, with new threats and vulnerabilities. To have a fighting chance, it would behoove us to start by cultivating a curious learner mindset by asking, “Why?” and “How does this work?”
As reformed security know-it-alls, here are some of the stories we covered:

Unroll.me apologizes for Not Being Clear It Sells User Data
Misinterpretation of Uber buying Unroll.me data
BrickerBot breaks unsecured gadgets
Antivirus Program Mistakenly IDs Windows as a Threat
Hacked Amazon seller accounts

Tool of the week: Account Lockout Status
