Drones, some coloured cardboard, and a piece of tinfoil may be all the kit you need to crash a robot-driven taxi, and a rapper is accused of using Justin Bieber’s name to defraud a TV company.

All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the “Smashing Security” podcast with yours truly and Carole Theriault.

@gcluley Hi Graham, if I recall correctly, in last week's ep of #SmashinSecurity you mentioned about some websites blocking the ability to paste log-in credentials.
This really is a pain and terrible if you use long, complex passwords.
So I just use 'pasword123' everywhere.
Also, if your password manager has a function to auto-type creds (rather than copy/paste), this tends to work in those websites. For example, #keepassxc works fine in such cases.

That Geoff White guy is absolutely rocking the promotion of his new book "Rinsed", all about money laundering. I thought I could hide in this launderette to escape from it, but no such luck!

Seriously, delighted to get my hands on a copy of "Rinsed" - and I'm confident it will be just as gripping a read as @geoffwhite247's "Crime dot com" and "The Lazarus Heist."

This may be the craziest cybersecurity story I've ever told in a keynote. The company that PRETENDED to have been hit by a virus.

And when you hear what the company is, and what they said the virus did, the story even gets more bonkers.

Have you ever heard a more nuts story about a virus attack?

Prosecutors have filed 26 criminal charges against a political consultant responsible for a robocall that used a deepfake Joe Biden to dissuade voters from participating in New Hampshire's primary.

I wonder if we might see similar AI-powered shenanigans in the run-up to the UK's General Election?
