About this listen
The December release of the Epstein files wasn’t just controversial—it exposed a set of security problems organizations face every day. Documents that appeared heavily redacted weren’t always properly sanitized. Some files were pulled and reissued, drawing even more attention. And as interest surged, attackers quickly stepped in, distributing malware and phishing sites disguised as “Epstein archives.”
In this episode of Cyberside Chats, we use the Epstein files as a real-world case study to explore two sides of the same problem: how organizations can be confident they’re not releasing more data than intended, and how they can trust—or verify—the information they consume under pressure. We dig into redaction failures, how AI tools change the risk model, how attackers weaponize breaking news, and practical ways teams can authenticate data before reacting.
