Ahoy! There's trouble in the South China Seas as Filipino organisations fail to secure their systems, we take a close look at Google IP protection, and we take a look at just how so much genetic profile data leaked out of 23andMe.

All this and much much more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by Mark Stockley.
