The Security box, podcast 180: Phishing as a Service

The technology blog and podcast and TSB

Hello everyone, welcome to the security box, podcast 180. On this podcast, Phishlabs will guide us through something I don't think we have ever seen. It talks about a service that is a web host service, but it is a completely different type of web host. They didn't classify it as bulletproof hosting, but something called phishing as a service. Two different companies are mentioned. Besides that, we've got news, notes, the landscape and your thoughts. Thanks so much for listening!
