Sorry about the audio on this one. We have got the tech back on track for the next episode. I promise!

Join the Great Security Debate as Brian, Erik, and Dan delve into 'pig slaughtering,' a scam involving rapport building to swindle victims out of money.

The discussion explores the intersections of security awareness, blockchain technology, and the ethical implications of digital tracking tools like chain analysis. Featuring real-world cases, including child exploitation traced through blockchain, and the broader debate on privacy versus legality in technology use. Are public blockchain transactions truly private?

And how can we balance innovative tech with ethical concerns? Tune in to hear all about it
