Reconnecting with Old Friends

This week on Hacker And The Fed a Danish cloud provider loses all of their customer's data, a hacker in custody continues hacking through a fire stick, there are two great write ups about a zero day vulnerability and HTML smuggling, cyber security entry jobs should be just that, entry into the industry, and we answer listener questions that include an ongoing dialogue with an active hacker about becoming a white hat.
