Episode 38: Mobile Hacking Maestro: Sergey Toshin

Episode 38: In this episode of Critical Thinking - Bug Bounty Podcast, we're thrilled to welcome mobile hacking maestro Sergey Toshin (aka @bagipro). We kick off with Sergey sharing his unexpected journey into mobile security, and how he rose to become the number one hacker in both Google Play Security and Samsung Bug Bounty programs. We then delve into the evolving perception of mobile bugs, a myriad of new and existing attack vectors, and discuss Sergey's creation of mobile security company Oversecured. You’re going to want to make time for this one!
