A Close Call with Phishing
We talk about a close call one of the Digital Ascent team members had with a phishing email and how a password manager protected him from a world of pain.
Password Best Practices at Home and Work
We also cover some industry best practices and how you can be safer in both your home and work lives.
Games We Love
We wrap up the episode talking about video games that we love both past and present.
Correction
We incorrectly used the term sub-domain in place of the term domain when Brent was discussing the phishing scenario with HypeSquad/Discord.
