Crypto hacker hijinks, government spyware, and Utah social media shocker

A cryptocurrency hack leads us down a maze of twisty little passages, Joe Biden's commercial spyware bill, and Utah gets tough on social media sites.

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 The Register's Iain Thomson.

Warning: This podcast may contain nuts, adult themes, and rude language.
