What Next TBD: If They Can Get Sydney Sweeney They Can Get You
Manage episode 432364212 series 2773325
Earlier this month, AT&T was hit by the largest telecom hack ever. Not long after, Sydney Sweeney’s phone number was stolen by criminals, who used it to hack her social media and promote a memecoin. With how much sensitive data telecom companies have on us, why is their security so bad? And how can we protect ourselves?
Guests: Joseph Cox, investigative reporter and cofounder of 404 media.
