Manage episode 304662657 series 2355368
Over the last month, the domain company Epik and the streaming service Twitch have fallen prey to massive-scale hacks. The hackers revealed not just email addresses, but detailed personal information too. For Twitch, it was the entire source code for their site.

Guest: Drew Harwell, tech reporter at the Washington Post
