Explore the story of Vladimir Drinkman, a notorious Russian hacker. This digital desperado gained expertise in SQL injections and formed a hacking crew that executed long-term cyber-attacks, including the massive breaches of TJX Companies and Heartland Payment Systems. Drinkman and his team infiltrated databases, stole credit card information, and sold it on the dark web. Brad Hawkins explains how SaferNet's tools, such as VPNs and internet filters, can prevent such attacks by locking down devices and networks. After being arrested in 2012, Drinkman was extradited to the US, where he (seemingly) transformed into a white hat hacker, now working in cybersecurity. The episode underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures for businesses and consumers.
