In this episode, we explore the recent Okta breach where hackers obtained sensitive customer data via unauthorized access to the Okta support system. Next, we discuss the emerging threat of “quishing,” a combination of voice calls and phishing that preys on unsuspecting victims. Finally, we discuss Google Play Protect’s new feature, “Real-time App Analysis,” which enhances Android device security by helping prevent malware from being installed.
