Breach Alert at Dell

In this special 'Breach Alert' episode of the Modern Cyber podcast, Jeremy talks to security researcher Viktor Markopoulos about a recent data breach at Dell.

The incident saw a threat actor gain access to a partner portal using dummy credentials. They then proceeded to scrape 49M records using a poorly secured API, requesting 5,000 records per hour for almost three weeks.

Watch the full episode as Jeremy and Viktor cover what want wrong and how to protect your APIs against similar attacks.
