Smashing Security podcast #464: Rockstar got hacked. The data was junk. The secrets it revealed were not

A company that ran anonymous tip lines for 35,000 American schools – handling reports of bullying, weapons, and self-harm – boasted on its website that it had suffered zero security breaches in over 20 years. A hacker called Internet Yiff Machine thought that sounded like a challenge, with predictable results…

Meanwhile, Rockstar Games gets hacked again – and the stolen data turns out to be less embarrassing than the financial secrets it accidentally revealed. GTA Online is still making half a billion dollars a year. Red Dead Redemption is not.

All this and more in episode 464 of the “Smashing Security” podcast with cybersecurity keynote speaker and industry veteran Graham Cluley, joined this week by special guest BBC cybersecurity correspondent Joe Tidy.
