Beers with Talos Ep. #62: Fifty shades of shady
Summary: Beers with Talos episode No. 62, recorded Sept. 13, 2019, covers cryptomining activity tied to Watchbog, a service charging people $50 to bypass MFA on their own machines, and recent breaches where severity was downplayed because the exfiltrated data was described as not vital or important. The episode is described as one of the podcast's rantier installments.
What's compelling: The episode flags a $50 MFA-bypass offering and a pattern of organizations arguing that stolen data was not vital or important - the same reasoning that shapes how a breach gets scoped and disclosed.
