What’s the difference between a hack and an exploit?

Last week, Russell Brandom published “Anatomy of a Hack,” an eye-opening step-by-step account of an overnight digital heist. The story is petrifying for people like me who are already paranoid about cyber security.

On this week’s episode of What’s Tech? Brandom explains hacking. Hacks, exploits, and system security are regularly in the news, most notably with the hacking of Sony Pictures. Brandom illuminates a culture that’s more complex than how it’s often portrayed and explains the nitty-gritty in layman terms.
