Boris Johnson’s WhatsApps, and sextorting party girls

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants to hand over his WhatsApp messages - or does he? And a couple of fun-loving girls from Aberdeen have come up with a sinister twist on sextortion scams.

All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley (from a mystery location) and Carole Theriault.
