Peloton problems, romance regret, and Weiner woes

We take a look at why Peloton is being accused of ransomware-like behaviour, how one man lost $250,000 in a romance scam, and how a chap called Weiner has found himself in a political pickle.

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 Host Unknown's Andrew Agnês.


Plus we have a featured interview with KnowBe4 expert Roger Grimes. Don't miss it!
