You got a data breach notification. Now what?
Joe Marshall, Talos' resident ICS and IoT expert, and Pierre Cadieux from Talos Incident Response join Jon this week to discuss data breaches. Between Snowflake, AT&T, Ticketmaster and more, we should probably assume our data has been part of a leak somewhere. So what steps should you take to prepare for this inevitability?

The many shades of LilacSquid
Anna Bennett, one of Talos' threat hunters, joins the show this week to talk about one of her recent findings — the LilacSquid APT. This is a newly discovered threat actor that Talos found hiding on networks for months and years at a time, silently stealing sensitive information the entire time. Anna discusses LilacSquid's activities, potential motivations, and how they overlap with North Korean APTs.
