I've managed to get my paws on "Dark Wire" by @josephcox, a great new book telling the incredible true story of how the FBI launched a fake encrypted messaging service and spied on the communications of the world's most notorious criminal gangs.

An amazing tale.

Prison for cybersecurity expert selling private videos from inside 400,000 homes.

Months before, the guy had given an interview demonstrating how simple it was to hack into wallpads - describing them as something that "middle schoolers with basic knowledge of computers can easily hack."

He later argued in court (unsuccessfully) that the data leak was to publicise the security vulnerabilities... 🙄

@gcluley @smashingsecurity it seems like something dodgy has happened to the feed. I’ve just had episode 343, 360 something and 370 all appear at once as May 7th then they disappeared again. Not sure if the feed is to blame or my Podcast app.
