Cybersecurity situational awareness fails spectacularly in Mr. Robot's prison break episode - learn what went wrong and how to prevent real attacks.
Curtis Preston (Mr. Backup) and Prasanna break down the cybersecurity situational awareness failures that made Elliot's prison break possible. From USB stick social engineering to Bluetooth car hacking, this episode reveals how poor security awareness creates massive vulnerabilities.
What you'll learn:
Why that cop's cybersecurity situational awareness failed during the social engineering attack
How Bluetooth security gaps enabled the police car hack
Real-world USB malware threats and defenses
WPA2 vs WPA3 encryption differences that matter
Network segmentation failures that amplified the breach
Social engineering red flags everyone should recognize
Curtis shares real stories about malware-infected conference USB sticks, and both hosts examine how organizations can build better cybersecurity situational awareness training programs. This isn't just TV analysis - it's practical security education disguised as entertainment.
