Overnight With Michael Mclaren

Mike is joined by futurist Skeeve Stevens, to discuss the amount of personal data compiled in an individual's dark web dossier. Criminal hacking groups, such as ShinyHunters, steal data from various breaches and collect it on the dark web to create detailed profiles on individuals. These dossiers enable comprehensive profiling and make it easier for criminals to execute credential stuffing attacks. The personal data of Australians is becoming increasingly detailed in these dossiers, with information compiled from major breaches at companies like Optus, Medibank, Qantas, Equifax, and iiNet, as well as various super funds and government agencies. Soon, these dossiers will contain even more information about you than you might know about yourself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
