In this week’s episode of Breaking Badness, we dive deep into two major cybersecurity stories that are shaping today’s landscape. First, we explore the alarming capabilities of Locate X, a powerful smartphone tracking tool used by U.S. law enforcement without a warrant. How does it work, what are the privacy implications, and what can individuals do to protect their data? 

We then shift gears to APT29’s latest campaign as discovered by Amazon, uncovering how this well-known threat actor employed advanced tactics to impersonate AWS infrastructure and
target victims. 

Join Kali Fencl, Tim Helming, and Taylor Wilkes-Pierce as they dissect these stories and share their expert insights. Stick around for the Grim Reaper’s hoodie ratings and our signature segment, Gold, Guidance, and Grievances.
