The Lazarus Heist, Facebook faux pas, and no-cost security
Facebook has managed to do the seemingly impossible - and had a data breach about its handling of a data breach. Meanwhile, we chat to the host of the brand new podcast about North Korea's hackers targeting the rest of the world, and discuss if an intern can be trusted to monitor your security.
All this and much much more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by computer security veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by Geoff White of "The Lazarus Heist" podcast.
Plus! Don't miss our featured interview with Duo's Helen Patton.
