Massive crypto bungle, and the slave scammers

A couple unexpectedly find $10.5 million in their cryptocurrency account, and in Cambodia people are being forced to commit pig-butchering scams.

All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by computer security veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, who are flying solo again this week.
