Data Exfiltration comes up in 3 chapters across 3 episodes of The No Agenda Show, from May 2010 to January 2020.
A technical discussion explores the feasibility of mirroring a server onto a portable drive using software like Acronis. Mirroring a drive is often faster and more comprehensive than manually copying individual email spools, especially when using USB 3.0 technology. This method would explain how a large volume of data could be removed quickly from a secure environment.
Anne Barron-DeCamille of DHS/CERT discussed the OPM breach using a severity scale, labeling the impact as "significant." While Representative Walberg used the term "Cyber Pearl Harbor," the DHS official preferred technical terms like "exfilled" data. The discussion focuses on how the stolen data could be correlated with other sources to impact the security environment.
The hosts examine Richard Clarke's use of the word "exfiltrate" to describe the unauthorized removal of data by hackers. They define the term as military jargon for removing personnel from enemy territory, now adapted for cybersecurity to describe moving terabytes of information out of a network.
