If, like me, you were a teenage boy in the mid-1980s you quite possibly remember Kelly LeBrock in the movie "Weird Science"... How could we resist getting into computers after that!? Anyway, this and much more discussed in episode 485 of "Smashing Security" podcast with special guest Lianne Potter

In the latest "Smashing Security" podcast, "Five Eyes" intelligence agencies (not Five Guys 🍔) have published fresh advice on how firms should talk to the public after a breach. Their message in short? "please, for the love of God, stop calling every hack 'sophisticated'"

On the latest episode of the "Smashing Security" podcast I was joined by @jamesrball.com who took a step back from the stories of AI "going rogue" and and asked the awkward question: is this really an emergent AI apocalypse, or were AI firms just lousy at security?

A group of security researchers took a robot dog, and jailbroke it by telling it that it was a Pokemon. And that wasn't the worst of it... Hear Jenny Radcliffe join me on the "Smashing Security" podcast to discuss this, the theft of Mozart statuettes, and Andy Burnham being socially-engineered.
