Episode #18 – Guccifer: Hacking Made Easy

This week's Digital Desperados serves up a side of "accidental hacking" with Guccifer, the hacker who makes social media security questions look like a joke. This guy used Google and a thirst for fame to waltz into the accounts of the rich, famous, and powerful like they were unlocked doors. Colin Powell's emails? Exposed. Rockefellers' secrets? Spilled. All thanks to Guccifer's uncanny ability to guess your childhood pet's name.

This cautionary tale screams: don't be a digital exhibitionist, and maybe use a password that isn't your favorite sports team. Our sponsor, SaferNet (https://www.safernet.com/), offers a digital security shield stronger than Guccifer's online alias (seriously, Gucci and Lucifer?). So, tighten your online defenses and remember, in the wild wild web, appearances can be deceiving.
