ChatGPT and the Minister for Foreign Affairs

Could a senior Latvian politician really be responsible for scamming hundreds of "mothers-of-two" in the UK? (Probably not, despite Graham's theories...) And should we be getting worried about the AI wonder that is ChatGPT?

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

Plus don't miss our featured interview with DigiCert’s Brian "PKI" Trzupek.
