Coinbase crypto heists, QR codes, and ransomware in the classroom

In episode 403 of "Smashing Security" we dive into the mystery of $65 million vanishing from Coinbase users faster than J-Lo slipped into Graham's DMs, Geoff gives a poor grade for PowerSchool's security, and Carole takes a curious look at QR codes.

All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by The Lazarus Heist's Geoff White.

Warning: This podcast may contain nuts, adult themes, and rude language.
