Ransomware fraud, pharmacy chaos, and suicide

Ransomware fraud, pharmacy chaos, and suicide

Is there any truth behind the alleged data breach at Fortnite maker Epic Games? Who launched the ransomware attack that caused a fallout at pharmacies? And what's the latest on the heart-breaking hack of Finnish therapy clinic Vastaamo?

All this and much much more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by Jessica Barker.
