About this episode
Co-hosts Duck and David discuss the challenges posed by social engineering and how attackers can exploit human behavior.
What if your attackers don't need any technical skills? What if you let them in yourself, simply by being too helpful? Co-hosts Duck and David tackle the tricky problem of treacherous criminals who don't need vulnerabilities, exploits, hacking abilities, or malware.
