This chapter covers a major data breach that has put 272 million social security numbers at risk on the dark web. A cybersecurity consultant discusses the implications of the incident, the vulnerability of sensitive data, and essential steps individuals can take to protect themselves against identity theft.
Brian Niccol, the former CEO of Chipotle, began leading Starbucks earlier this week. Transforming the coffee shops back into third places will be a tough task.
(00:21) Jim Gillies and Ricky Mulvey discuss:
- The situation that Niccol is coming into at Starbucks.
- Why previous leadership at the coffee giant didn’t work out.
- A sporting goods retailer that may have reached bottom.
Then, (18:22) Robert “Bro” Brokamp kicks off a two-part interview with Dave Hatter, a cybersecurity consultant at Intrust IT, about the Social Security database hack and how to make your personal information more secure.
