Episode 10.10 - The X DDoS attack was avoidable, and it's not over

from Crucial Tech · host Lou Covey

It also rang alarm bells in the cybersecurity community as that style of attack seems to be making a comeback, and not for financial gain. All indications are corporations, and, in particular, government institutions are not ready to repel attacks motivated by political revenge. We talked with Inversion6 CISO Ian Thornton-Trump about how the attack was allowed to happen and what it may mean for the very near future.
