Botched Bitcoin blackmail, iSpoof, and Meta’s billion dollar data bungle

13 years jail for spoofing scammer, a rogue IT security expert's Bitcoin blackmail goes wrong, and Facebook's eyewatering GDPR fine may be only the beginning of its problems.

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 Imposter Syndrome Network podcast's Zoë Rose.

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