Security 19 – Kickstarter Says Sorry




inThirty show

Summary: The title is a little exaggerated, but hey, I needed a title. We wanted to talk about how worried you should be when your password gets leaked, and of course, Kickstarter was right there. We applauded them for their blog post, how they handled it, and their encryption methods used. We jeered at the fact that law enforcement had alert them. We go through a hashing algorithm, rainbow tables, and bcrypt. Show Notes: Kickstarter | https://www.kickstarter.com/blog/important-kickstarter-security-notice
