Show 2: Ashley Madison

from Lock Me Down | Security for the Everyday Developer Hosted by Max McCarty

Back in August of 2015, Avid Life Media received a stunning ultimatum from some unknown hackers to shut down various sites after having breached the controversial cheating site Ashley Madison or face the consequences of having tens of gigabytes of customer information, source code, and other sensitive data be released to the public. Little to nothing was known about the team of hackers only known as "Impact Team" insinuating that there was more than one hacker. Or was it possibly a lone hacker that we know more about than originally thought. Find out on this episode of the Lock me down podcast. Today, you will learn the 3 absolute ingredients needed for properly storing user passwords for your application and we'll discuss the fabulous failure that put one company out of business.
