Episode notes

In this episode of Tech Talks with Kinsoft, we examine two significant Australian cyber incidents: the University of Sydney data breach and the iiNet customer exposure. We discuss how attackers exploited a development code library to access the personal data of over 27,000 staff and students, and how stolen credentials led to the compromise of 280,000 iiNet customer records. We break down the critical lesson that non-production environments are not non-critical and offer actionable advice to reduce your risk.
