In the latest episode of the "Smashing Security" podcast we're joined by @maria to discuss how Microsoft Word helped trap a multi-million dollar fraudster, how Amazon Ring may be recording more than you’re comfortable with, and how teens are flocking to TikTok (and why that might be a problem).

On our latest podcast we're joined by the hysterical (in a good way) @maria to discuss:
✅ Kaspersky's ugly fingerprint replacement
✅ How NordVPN might be avoiding Disney+'s blocks
✅ Why a hacker posed as a music producer
✅ Behavioural biometrics
✅ Much much more!
Oops, forgot to mention infosec.exchange on this week's podcast... sorry folks. I'm here! It's just very quiet around here so it slipped my mind.

If I was going to be on a Smashingly good podcast this week, what story should I cover? :) Suggestions welcome.

In the latest "Smashing Security" podcast we discuss porn trolling lawyers, LED data leaks, Instagram hacking, tiny Tom Cruise, and much much more with special guest @maria !
It's not all filth.
... that moment when you're opening that Word doc attachment and instinctively nervous about it...
There's a bigger interest overlap between infosec & privacy folks and the artist community than I think a lot of people realize
On the off chance you are an artist making the move from Twitter and need help, I'm happy to help you figure this whole Mastodon thing out - please feel free to contact me.
In any case, Tumblr's TOS change purged basically the entire userbase. I'm curious if this is going to impact Twitter similarly, at least for certain communities (e.g. artists)
Twitter's latest TOS update seems poised to do a Tumblr-esque purge of artists and many of them are making the move to Mastodon instances. The main barrier seems to be understanding how Mastodon (& instances) work... that and building a new fanbase on a new platform is a slog and a half!
*waves at everyone*
