Show Notes

Getting a CompTIA cert is a big accomplishment. Getting all of them? That’s podcast-worthy. In addition to holding all the current CompTIA certifications, this week’s guest Lee McWhorter is also the CTO of Covered 6, a security training firm focussed on veterans. After an interview, Lee helped breakdown ‘Who Got Pwned’ due to home routers riddled with flaws and running unpatched Linux. In other news, the Technado team discussed Intel’s Thunderbolt 4 specs, Fedora’s approval of Nano as the default terminal text editor, billions of leaked credentials on the dark web, and the seizure of the BlueLeaks server. They ended with a new segment, “Behind Bars,' where a hacker was caught after flaunting his wealth on Instagram.
