Risky Business #282 -- The future of hacktivism
Presented by
CEO and Publisher
Technology Editor
This week's show is a cracker! We've got a great feature interview with journalist and author Parmy Olson about what the future might hold for Anonymous. Is it time for the Anonymous brand to be retired? The media has largely lost interest in its activities -- how could the hacktivism phenomenon bounce back to the same levels of notoriety as it experienced in 2011?
Tune in to find out!
This week's show is brought to you by Senetas, makers of absolutely kick-ass layer 2 encryption equipment.
In this week's sponsor interview we're chatting with Senetas co-founder and CTO Julian Fay about homomorphic encryption. This is where you can actually perform operations on data while it's still encrypted! It's all a bit twisted, but it's fascinating stuff and it's this week's sponsor interview topic.
