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 runZero's Chris Kitsch.

Plus don't miss our featured interview with Akamai's Patrick Sullivan talking about how retailers can better thwart bots this holiday season.
