Weekly update

How's this weeks video for a view?! It's a stunning location here in Bali and it's just been the absolute most perfect spot for a honeymoon, especially after weeks of guests and celebrations. But whoever hacked and ransom'd Optus didn't care about me taking time out and I've done more media in the last week than I have in a long time. I don't mind, it's a fascinating story the way this has unfolded and that's where most of the time in this week's video has gone, I hope you enjoy my analysis of w...

Wow, what a week! Of course there's lots of cyber / tech stuff in this week's update, but it was really only the embedded tweet below on my mind so I'm going to leave you with this then come to you from somewhere much more exotic than usual (and I reckon that's a pretty high bar for me!) next week 😎 > Absolutely over the moon to formally make @Charlotte_Hunt_ [https://twitter.com/Charlotte_Hunt_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] a part of our family ❤️ 💍 pic.twitter.com/XfahXElboC [https://t.co/XfahXElboC...

I came so close to skipping this week's video. I'm surrounded by family, friends and my amazing wife to be in only a couple of days. But... this video has been my constant companion through very difficult times, and I'm happy to still being doing it at the best of times 😊 So, with that, I'm signing out and heading off to do something much more important. See you next week. > Taking a bit of time off Twitter while @charlottelyng [https://twitter.com/charlottelyng?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] and I do m...

I'm so excited to see the book finally out and awesome feedback coming in, but I'm disappointed with this week's video. I frankly wasn't in the right frame of mind to do it justice (it's been a very hard road up until this point, for various reasons), then my connection dropped out halfway through and I had to roll to 5G, and now I'm hearing (both from other people and with my own ears), a constant background noise being picked up by the mic. Argh! But, that's the reality of scheduled live str...

Well, after a crazy amount of work, a lot of edits, reflection, and feedback cycles, "Pwned" is almost here: > This better be a sizzling read @troyhunt [https://twitter.com/troyhunt?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] or I'll be crashing the wedding in ways never done before. Also, I thought they'd cancelled Neighbours? 😉❤️ pic.twitter.com/jrYIKtL0Uh [https://t.co/jrYIKtL0Uh] — Mike Thompson (@AppSecBloke) August 30, 2022 [https://twitter.com/AppSecBloke/status/1564740069193310212?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] The...

By all accounts, this was one of the best weekly updates ever courtesy of a spam caller giving me a buzz at the 38:40 mark and struggling with "pwn" versus "porn". It resulted in an entertaining little on-air call and subsequently caused me to go out and register both haveibeeninpwn.com [https://haveibeeninpwn.com/] and haveibeeninporn.com [https://haveibeeninporn.com/]. I figure these will result in much ongoing hilarity the next time I get a call of this nature about one of those domains 🤣 Oh...

Right off the back of a visit to our wedding venue (4 weeks and counting!) and a few hours before heading to the snow (yes, Australia has snow), I managed to slip in a weekly update earlier today. I've gotta say, the section on Shitexpress is my favourite because there's just so much to give with this one; a service that literally ships shit with a public promise of multiple kinds of animal shit whilst data that proves only horse shit was ever shipped, a promise of 100% anonymity whilst the data...

It was all a bit last minute today after travel, office works and then a quick rebuild of desk and PC before doing this livestream (didn't even have time to comb my hair!) So yes, I took a shortcut with the description of this video, but it all worked out well in the end IMHO with plenty of content that wasn't entirely data breach related, but yeah, that does seem to be a bit of a recurring theme in these vids. Enjoy 😊 [https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/troy-hunts-weekly-update-podcast/id11...

I didn't intend for a bunch of this week's vid to be COVID related, but between the breach of an anti-vaxxer website and the (unrelated) social comments directed at our state premier following some pretty simple advice, well, it just kinda turned out that way. But there's more on other breaches too, in particular the alleged Paytm one and the actual Customer.io one. I'm really looking forward to next week's update, here's a little teaser of what you can expect to hear about then [https://twitte...

I broke Yoda's stick! 3D printing woes, and somehow I managed to get through the explanation without reverting to a chorus of My Stick by a Bad Lip Reading [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xl0Qr0uXuY] (and now you'd got that song stuck in your head). Loads of data breaches this week and whilst "legacy", still managed to demonstrate how bad some practices remain today (hi Shadi.com 👋). Never a dull moment in data breach land, more from there next week 😊 [https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/tr...
