Nerd Out Security Panel Discussion: EP23. Ukraine, Outdoor Events and the gang!

The gang is back together as Bridget Johnson and Joe Levy join Dave on the podcast to catch up on what they've missed while turning their attention to Ukraine and outdoor events. Within Ukraine, the nerdites talked about the effects of the current conflict, TikTok and the evolving information wars to include disinformation and misinformation campaigns on all sides, and what some outcomes may be long term. The gang then turned to thoughts of warmer weather and the upcoming outdoor events and activities. Looking at it through a security lens the Bridget, Joe and Dave looked at some important considerations while also keeping focus on those other events leading up to the 2022 election season. Before wrapping up with some pointed security plugs, the team talked about hurricane predictions and outdoor events to look forward to.
