Episode #45 - Breach? Jackpot. How the Legal System Profits from Failure
Update: 2025-08-26
Description
Part 4 of the “Accountability in Cybersecurity is Broken” series - Recorded LIVE August 21, 2025 on YouTube.
Every breach is a gold mine—but not for the victims. In this episode, Evan Francen (30+ year InfoSec badass) and Matt strip away the shiny headlines to expose the ugly truth: when cyber disasters strike, lawyers strike the jackpot. We’re unpacking how class-action lawsuits have turned cybersecurity disasters into bonanzas for law firms—while the real victims get scraps.
From Equifax to AT&T to Meta, we’re talking grotesque settlements, insane legal fees, and a broken accountability loop that thrives on failure.
Raw and unapologetic—this is the conversation no one else (or at least, not enough of us) is having.
