How I (could’ve) stolen your corporate secrets for $100

What do you need to break into a corporate network? ESET’s latest research suggests that interest in secondhand computer hardware, a bit of time, and $100 is more than enough. In this episode, ESET Specialized Security Researcher Cameron Camp explains to host Aryeh Goretsky what secrets he found on secondhand routers bought online, what types of companies he would be able to penetrate with that information, and how to securely wipe devices before selling them. Cameron presented the topic at this year’s RSA Conference in San Francisco and published on WeLiveSecurity.com.
