Why Cyber Attacks are Not All Equal
Jan 30, 2026 Season 6 Episode 26
Cyber Crime Junkies. Host David Mauro.

Have you ever wondered why cyber attacks are not all equal? Why some of the most significant data breaches in history didn't lead to your personal information being sold on the dark web? When Data Breaches Are Really Espionage? 

Why did the stolen data from breaches like Anthem, Starwood/Marriott, OPM, and Equifax vanish into the ether, while other breaches see data auctioned off to the highest bidder? 

Let's delve into these mysteries, each a tale of intrigue and unseen adversaries.
