Jon Swartz, USA Today\u2018s award-winning technology reporter and Pulitzer Prize nominee, is Gary\u2019s guest on the 25th episode of The Silver Bullet Security Podcast. They discuss Jon\u2019s new book, Zero Day Threat: The Shocking Truth of How Banks and Credit Bureaus Help Cyber Crooks Steal Your Money and Identity and the research that went into writing it. Gary and Jon also cover how cybercrime is driven by capitalist principals, why the general public\u2019s attitude is so lax about software security, and how, even though it\u2019s hard to get an accurate count of identity theft instances, they tend to show a sharp upward trend. Jon ends the episode by disclosing his secret dream career.\n(Apologies for the below-average sound quality on this episode.)\n\nTranscript of this episode [PDF]\nJon\u2019s USA Today articles\n\nThe post Show 025 \u2013 An Interview with Jon Swartz appeared first on Cigital \xbb The Silver Bullet Security Podcast with Gary McGraw.\nThe post Show 025 \u2013 An Interview with Jon Swartz appeared first on Cigital \xbb The Silver Bullet Security Podcast with Gary McGraw.
