This was a great episode and released at a good time -- just after we dealt with a customer who had an end user reporting their personal Google account had been hacked. We had already provided our recommendations to fix it and improve their security posture, but I was able to provide this episode to the customer as an additional reference of what to do.

Keep up the great podcasts!

That's amazing! I love to hear about the podcast being shared in this way. Thank you so much for recommending the episode, and I hope the customer was able to recover from their breach swiftly.

Between the response plan we provided them and the details from this episode, I believe they are in a good spot now. Not to mention, getting the customer to add a license for this user to get on the 1Password account!
