8/20/24: CYBER MERCENARIES W/ MATT MALONE

Cyber Mercenaries are more powerful than most experts realize. Those who assume they are cheap imitations of national armed forces or even geeks with a vengeance invite disaster because for-profit warriors are a different genus and species of a fighter. Private Force has become big business, and global in scope. No one truly knows how many billions of dollars slosh around this illicit market. All we know is that business is booming. The personal records of 2.9 billion people were stolen from a major data broker known as National Public Data earlier this year, and this month almost all of the information stolen was posted online for anyone to freely take. We are talking about names, addresses, phone numbers, employment histories, birth dates, and Social Security numbers. How vulnerable are we? Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time) Clyde Lewis talks with cyber security expert, Matt Malone about CYBER MERCENARIES.
