Opensource intelligence (OSINT) is defined by the U.S. Intelligence Community as information that is publicly available and gathered from radio, television, newspapers, commercial databases, electronic mail, or portable electronic media. OSINT is tremendously useful when hackers need to gather the names and biographical information of relevant employees (CEO, CFO, accounts receivable and payable, etc.), in order to execute a successful spear phishing campaign and access a company’s data. These personal details will lend credibility to the requests for information. The host for this episode is Dave Stevens. The guest for this episode is Hal Corcoran.
