The CEO who also ran IT, Strava strife, and TikTok tall tales

A boss is bitten in the bottom after being struck by one of the worst crimes in Finnish history, Strava's privacy isn't so private, and a private investigator uncovers some TikTok tall tales.

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 T-Minus's Maria Varmazis.

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