Every so often there’a a hack or digital data grab that requires we forego a guest (full disclosure: we tried to get Xi Jinping, but didn’t hear back) and dig down to explore exactly what happened and why it matters (or doesn’t). Find out our verdict on the recent parade of spy balloons and how it fits into the bigger picture.
Adam, Beau and Travis survey the short but storied history of Chinese-sponsored hacking in the United States to provide some much needed context for the recent spate of spy balloons making news. And then Beau goes off on Meta, as he is wont to do.
The episode is rounded off with some news via Travis about criminals using Google Ads to spread malware. Sound bad? Listen in.
