Privacy Challenges in Relationships, Phishing Down but Vulnerabilities Up?

Shared Security Podcast

In episode 327 Tom, Scott, and Kevin discuss the findings from Mandiant’s M-Trends 2024 report, highlighting a significant rise in traditional vulnerability exploitation by attackers while observing a decline in phishing. Despite phishing’s decreased prevalence, it remains the second most popular method for gaining initial network access. Discussions include the impact of high-profile vulnerabilities and the potential reasons behind the shift in cyberattack tactics. The episode also explores the challenges of maintaining online privacy within relationships, especially when one partner prioritizes privacy more than the other. Tips on fostering understanding and cooperation on privacy and security practices within a relationship are also covered.
