It's Max Headroom month! One November evening in 1987 local Chicago TV was invaded by a masked Max Headroom impersonator. For the following 37 years the question of who and why persist.
Now well past a statute of limitations and the advantage hive mind of the internet we are still no closer to the definitive, but we do have theories!
Whitney Merrill is a Hacktivist, info security champion and Head of Global Privacy and data Governance at Asansa. She also makes the coolest Pins on her etsy.
Being brought up in Chicago and immersed in Hack culture she is the perfect guest to have with me in this show.
We talk about hacking, the direction of security and of course Max!
