In this week's episode, we had really great discussions on topics ranging from hermit's to hackers. We opened the show with a story about the Northpond Hermit and how he alluded society for 26 years in the woods of Maine. Next up was drones as per the usual. The team then weighed in on the HBO hack and the dangers of unsecured printers. Finally, we ended the first segment with new regulations being proposed in the U.K. around smart car cyber protection.
Our main topic is about Marcus Hutchins, the British hacker that stopped WannaCry and rose to fame very quickly in the aftermath is now being charged in the U.S. for his role in a banking Trojan. The team had no shortage of opinions on this one.
We are on break until August 21st. What a great chance to catch up on any shows you missed.
