Hacked, and hacked again

Phishy Business

Imagine being the CEO of tech company. Now imagine your company gets hacked; not once… but twice. This is what happened to our guest, Scott Schober, a CEO, best-selling author of the book ‘Hacked Again’ and cybersecurity educator. We discuss how his company got breached, his mission to educate other business leaders on good cyber hygiene, and - crucially – to get them to act.

In ‘Hacked, and hacked again’ we cover:

• How his company got hacked
• What it is like being both a cyber security expert and a victim of cyber crime
• How his experience spurred him on to educate other business leaders
• How his speaking out about being attacked, made him a personal target for cyber criminals
• His tips of on how business leaders can stay safe
• Why losing $65,000 to hackers is a drop in the cybercrime ocean
