Elliot and Dan got together to enshrine the week's hacks in podcast form, and to commiserate about their respective moms, each of whom recently fell victim to phishing attacks. It's not easy being ad hoc tech support sometimes, and as Elliot says, when someone is on the phone telling you that you've been hacked, he's the hacker. Moving on to the ha…

It was Dan's turn behind the mic with Elliot this time as we uncovered the latest from the world of hacking, and what an eclectic mix it was.

We also kicked the nostalgia bucket over -- whatever that means -- and got a new twist on…
