This week’s episode of Search Engine is a great explanation of, and rumination on the spate of recent security breaches by groups like Anonymous and LulzSec. Don’t worry, the content isn’t technical in nature, more thoughts on why things are happening, what the results are, and what, if anything we should do about it. If nothing else, it’ll make you think.
Listen now:
LulzSec and the Infowar (.mp3)
LulzSec disbands- does it matter? Will the hacks stop? And if not- does this mean war?
