Alia Tavakolian is in charge of content at Spoke Media. She's also the producer of Breach, and now... a potential Yahoo hacking victim. Before becoming a podcast producer and subsequently having her information compromised, Alia was producing theater in unlikely places (bars). She kinda wants to be a cybersecurity professional now...
