Introducing Motherboard's New Hacking Podcast, CYBER Nov 26, 2018

Show notes

CYBER is Motherboard’s first-ever cybersecurity, hacking, and infosec podcast - and you can listen to episode 1 here.

Imagine if your phone suddenly stopped working. And then you couldn’t login to Facebook, Instagram, your email, or bank account. Your phone switches back on, and you get a call. On the other end of the line is a guy telling you he’s stolen your phone number, and is about to take all your money. This is a new type of hack called SIM hijacking, and there’s almost nothing you can do to stop it. In this first episode of CYBER, we hear audio from a real-life ransom attempt, and host Ben Makuch speaks to Motherboard reporter Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai about how it all works.
