In episode 354, we discuss the emergence of the term 'Advanced Persistent Teenagers' (APT) as a "new" cybersecurity threat. Recorded just before the election, the hosts humorously predict election outcomes while exploring the rise of teenage hackers responsible for major breaches. The episode also covers a notable Okta vulnerability that allowed someone to login without the correct password and its implications. Tune in for an engaging conversation on the evolving landscape of cyber threats.
