An unhealthy data dump, railway surveillance, and a cheater sues Apple

There's a wee data breach with unhealthy implications in Scotland, privacy has gone off the rails in the UK, and a cheater blames Apple for his expensive divorce.

All this and 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 Lianne Potter of the "Compromising Positions" podcast.

Plus don't miss our featured interview with Abhishek Agrawal, CEO of Material Security.
