In this episode, we’re joined by Troy Hunt, Australian online security consultant, creator of Have I Been Pwned, and one of the world’s leading voices on data breaches. He breaks down the key differences between encryption and hashing, and what they mean for keeping your data safe. We dive into infamous data breaches, including the Ashley Madison case, and explore the often hidden, long-term impacts these leaks can have on people’s lives. With online scams and breaches costing Australians over $3 billion every year, we also look at the rising threat of ransomware and why it’s so hard to fight. This conversation opened so many cans of worms, we had to save the rest for part two. https://haveibeenpwned.com/ Linkedin: Troy Hunt
