Smashing Security

The world's most evil phishing test, and cyborgs in the workplace


Listen Later

Does your employer want to turn you into a cyborg? Was this phishing test devised by an evil genius? And how did a cinema chain get scammed out of millions, time and time again...?

Oh, and the subject of erasable pens comes up again.


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 Scott Helme.
