098: A Facebook omnishambles
Millions of Facebook user accounts put at risk after hack! The UK Conservative party's conference app causes a privacy omnishambles!

All this and much much more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by computer security veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by Maria Varmazis.
