Cybersecurity
What does it take to keep hackers out of your inbox—and your life? In this episode, I chat with Rivka Tadjer—cybersecurity pro, journalist, and all-around digital bodyguard for everyone from top executives to (yep) the White House.
Rivka’s career journey is a wild one—going from reporting stories to protecting high-profile clients—and she’s here to spill insider tips that you can actually use. We’re talking career insights, job wisdom, and the kind of practical advice that’ll make even your mom safer online.
You’ll hear why your Gmail is basically a goldmine for criminals, how SIM-swapping works (spoiler: it’s scarily easy), and why your Wi-Fi router might secretly be working against you.
If you’ve ever thought, “Eh, I should probably be safer online,” this is your wake-up call—delivered with laughs, eye-opening tips, and maybe a little career inspiration too.
