What the Shell?

This week, it seems as though Russia has been deprioritized by the US Gov as a cyber threat. So I aimed to ask the question, are they really that bad? Spoiler alert: The answer is yes.

This is the second of two experimental bonus episodes I really wanted to do. Today I invited my non-technical friend, Alex, over to ask me whatever is on her mind. Most of the time it’s tech related, sometimes it’s about the Loch Ness monster. So today, before I go on a little vacation, I wanted to share one of those discussions with you.

This is a bonus episode for the new year at the request of a few listeners. There isn’t a major hack here, this is about two things. 1. My process for making episodes 2.
