Vehicle Location Data Leaked For Over 2 million Drivers, Another US Government Breach, And D.B. Cooper

This week on Hacker And The Fed, up to 10 years of your location data may have been exposed if you’ve driven vehicles from a certain manufacturer, stolen private keys may lead to insecure boot ups of your computer, Congress gets another notification of a US government breach, and we answer more listener questions about failed hacks and intentional exploits. And we talk about D. B. Cooper!
