  • Unsecurity Episode 256: Annual Breachmas Recap with Pinky

    Unsecurity Episode 256: Annual Breachmas Recap with Pinky
    Mar 12 2026
    The Unsecurity Podcast is back for our annual discussion with Pinky, FRSecure's Incident Response Manager, to discuss the "Breachmas" season.

    Breachmas is a time of year or a phenomenon when attackers pull a few more levers available to them—more people on PTO, increased online spending, and general busyness contributing to less focus. The result is an uptick in cyber incidents nearing the end of each calendar year.

    As the team lead of FRSecure's blue team, Pinky lives and breathes incident handling. Each year, we like to get his perspective on how Breachmas has changed or evolved to stay better informed on how to protect our clients (and ourselves). This is a reflection of what we saw at year-end 2025, along with suggestions moving forward!

    In this episode, learn about:
    • Resurgence of Ransomware
    • Importance of Conditional Access
    • Taking a Layered Approach to Security Tools
    • Logs, Baselining, and Anomaly Detection
    • EvilGinx and Token Theft Attacks
    • New This Year: Extortion and AI

  • Unsecurity Episode 255: Jo Moldenhauer, Crafting Security News Reviews, A Unique Path to Infosec

    Unsecurity Episode 255: Jo Moldenhauer, Crafting Security News Reviews, A Unique Path to Infosec
    Mar 5 2026
    The Unsecurity Podcast returns with a truly joyful conversation with FRecure's own Jo Moldenhauer.

    Jo, an Associate Information Security Consultant, is famous around the FRSecure office for her weekly security news reviews, where she meticulously compiles articles and talking points for a company-wide discussion around industry trends and snapshots.

    And this couldn't have been easy to do. Jo's path to InfoSec is a recent and unique one—transitioning from dealing blackjack at casinos after most of them ceased operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can see how being tasked with leading a discussion to 75+ industry pros like this as a relative newcomer could be challenging—but Jo simply crushes it.

    In this episode, learn about:
    • Non-traditional information security career paths
    • What makes "good" InfoSec news
    • Why talking about industry news is important to FRSecure (and beyond)
    • How vCISO engagements and risk assessments guide talking points
    • The Gaming (casino) and InfoSec industry Venn Diagram (and what they can learn from each other)
    • User and security awareness training, culture, and incentive ideas
