Honestly, this one of the only podcast I can stomach. Too many others seem unrealistic, like know-it-all’s… or I just can’t relate.
Keep keeping it real 💯
And thanks for putting this out there for the people
Thank you for showing the love ❤️ 💪🏽💪🏽
Factz
Great episode with you two, per usual. Keep em’ coming.
Thanks bro
keep going. y'all two a whole vibe.. plus she just has the spotlight smile.. it so funny when I hear other podcasts talking bout.. im not into watching tv.. I just focus on work and computer info all day.. I need my brain relief.. after 9 hr looking at screen. can I live..
Thanks bro and yes she does 😄
Yeah Dell has moved to that and I'm new and since it's enforced they're tracking us by your badging you get flagged green yellow and red you hv to be in the office at least 39days per qtr. My manger said I cant be anywhere other than MY HOME on my wfh days which is twice a week at home. None of my coworkers knew about the hack I knew bc I read that stuff often
Sheesh
Sounds like their PCI team needs to be revamped. Their system wasnt properly secured and monitored. Someone, or a few people, probably lost their jobs over that breach.
Yeah however it starts at the top as well
@TechTualChatter correct, so whom ever is at the top needs to do some research and see how this happened. If it is PCI related, they more than likely are being fined daily until they fix it.
@@sanatrashobbiez apparently United healthcare has the money to spend haha
@@TechTualChatter united health is also a business. Like you said in the video, business reputation means everything. Losing money paying daily fines, on top of potential lose in customers. Could definitely hurt their bottom line. If you know any one at united, let then know I can help lol
Yes!! I was thinking the same, it’s so crazy that this is happening with these well known companies SMH
1:07:25 typically where would the alias records be stored in the company?
A database connected to AD
I blame the bootcamp, zero to hero, get into cybersec "over night" movement. It was nice to see so many hard working skill dense folks come out of those camps but then it became a way to "flip" a career and employers caught on. You not only saw poorly qualified analysts , developers, tester etc but you also got people with a mercenary mindset. Looking for the biggest check they could find, which sounds good on the surface. But what happens when you hire these one trick pony employees who either quit in waves or cant solve sub-complex issues? The 4 year grad with certs has become the go too. Or you have 5 plus years of provable experience at the very least.
I agree a lot of companies got burned over the last couple of years
@@TechTualChatter Yup, that cybersecurity degree is not a bad idea . Imo, its the easiest of STEM Degrees and ROI is top tier. Couple with a sec + as a start and you move your chances up the pile. Get your resume tight for the recruiting bots and make sure you're getting your reps in with your skills. And you at least become way more competitive.
I also tell ambitious folks to get a personality too. Don't be the traditional techie, my personality has come in clutch so many times. " Oh you were the very engaging cool to talk to guy".
There so much I could say man lol. I went through it.
@@jdkingsley6543 right I tell college kids they have to learn outside of the curriculum in order to have a shot in the job market
How's everything HD I watch ypur podcast on the regular an I like your point of view on industry I'm currently in college for Linux administrator(NEWBIE) my end goal is IAM security OR maybe grc but I'm here to ask about is it possible to "Create a project" then find ways to "Exploit" them then come up with ways to "Secure" them an how would this framework look for something like that ?
Yes there is
You’re on the right track now just research how to donit
You can freeze your credit with all 3 bureaus for free at no cost to keep someone from fraudulently opening or financing something in your name. You can do a temporary and a long term. You just have to remember to reach out to them before financing anything. You can do that as well as credit karma.
But I will check out Aura
Aura also has
A vpn
Password manager
Scrubs your information from the dark web
Blocks robocolls too
Hey tech
Yo what’s up!!
Not having student loans hacked make conspiracy ppl think bc Sallie Mae only company I can think of never been hacked I don't understand

@@TechTualChatter im on the fence bc why haven't we heard about an attempt has there been attempt and somehow they caught them right away and they got them hush money and NDA bc there cud be some serious fed time I feel like plenty ppl have attempted to hack Sallie something is going on
The way I describe Apple marketing is the biggest gaslighting in history. 😅
The rebuttal for apple shills are always Apple does it better or its supreme capabilities. They never explain why its better or it does this better. Like Tech said Apple hasnt been innovating since Steve Jobs passed.
Apple OS is good but not this God given entity that people hype up.
Bingo
