Smashing Security

Fake CAPTCHAs, Harmageddon, and Krispy Kreme


Listen Later

This week, we delve into the dark world of fake CAPTCHAs designed to hijack your computer. Plus, the AI safety clock is ticking down – is doomsday closer than we think? And to top it off, we uncover the sticky situation of Krispy Kreme facing a ransomware attack.

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