  1. Salesforce's trusted domain of doom

    Salesforce's trusted domain of doom

    Researchers uncovered a security flaw in Salesforce’s shiny new Agentforce. The vulnerability, dubbed "ForcedLeak", let them smuggle AI-read instructions in via humble Web-to-Lead form... and ended up spilling data for the low, low price of five dollars. And we discuss why data breach communications still default to "we take security seriously" while quietly implying "assume no breach" - until the inevitable walk-back. Plus, we take a look at ITV's phone-hacking drama with David Tennant, and take a crack at decoding the history of the Rosetta Stone. Hear all this and more in episode 437 of the "Smashing Security" podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley, joined this week by special guest Paul Ducklin.

  2. The €600,000 gold heist, powered by ransomware

    The €600,000 gold heist, powered by ransomware

    Ransomware doesn’t just freeze computers - it can silence alarms too. And when the Natural History Museum in Paris went dark, thieves helped themselves to €600,000 worth of gold in a daring late-night heist. Meanwhile, developers have a new headache: a worm dubbed “Shai Hulud” has wriggled its way through more than 180 npm packages, quietly stealing secrets. But it’s not all doom and gloom - unless you count your kitchen appliances turning into ad billboards. All this and more is discussed in episode 436 of the "Smashing Security" podcast with cybersecurity veteran Graham Cluley, and his special guest Zoë Rose.

  3. Lights! Camera! Hacktion!

    Lights! Camera! Hacktion!

    When "bad actors" stop being hackers and start being... actual actors. This week, Graham and special guest Jenny Radcliffe play “Hacker or Ham?” (yes, Steven Seagal, we’re looking at you), before diving into a campaign which saw an Iranian gang luring Israeli performers with fake casting calls for a serious film. We unpack why positive lures can short-circuit scepticism just as effectively as fear. Plus, the UK's ICO says students are increasingly hacking their own schools. Meanwhile, Graham heads to 1960s Oxford with Endeavour, while Jenny investigates the Wirral’s mysterious "Catman". All this, and more, in episode 435 of the "Smashing Security" podcast.

    Whopper Hackers, and AI Whoppers

    Ever wondered what would happen if Burger King left the keys to the kingdom lying around for anyone to use? Ethical hackers did - and uncovered drive-thru recordings, hard-coded passwords, and even the power to open a Whopper outlet on the moon. Meanwhile, over in Silicon Valley, one AI wunderkind managed to turn a $7 million payday into a career-ending lawsuit by allegedly walking trade secrets straight out the door as he jumped ship for a rival. All this and much more is discussed in episode 434 of the award-winning “Smashing Security” podcast with computer security veteran Graham Cluley, joined this week by special guest Lianne Potter. Hear them they chew over catastrophic fast-food security, insider threats with extra fries, and why even the biggest brains in AI can't stop themselves from doing something utterly stupid.

  5. How hackers turned AI into their new henchman

    How hackers turned AI into their new henchman

    Your AI reads the small print, and that's a problem. This week in episode 433 of "Smashing Security" we dig into LegalPwn - malicious instructions tucked into code comments and disclaimers that sweet-talks AI into rubber-stamping dangerous payloads (or even pretending they’re a harmless calculator). Meanwhile, new research from Anthropic reveals that hackers have already used AI agents to break into networks, steal passwords, sift through stolen data, and even write custom ransom notes. In other words, one hacker with an AI helper can work like an entire team of cybercriminals. Plus: a joyous geek detour into keyboard history, and the most diabolically annoying, fully functional AI-generated CAPTCHA that you will love to inflict on your friends.

    Oops! I auto-filled my password into a cookie banner

    We unpack how some password managers can be tricked into coughing up your secrets, with a clickjacking sleight-of-hand, what website owners can do to prevent it, and how to lock down your personal password vault. Then we time-hop to the post-quantum scramble: "harvest-now, decrypt later", Microsoft's 2033 quantum-safe pledge, and whether your printer will survive the update apocalypse. All this, plus a gloriously dodgy URL “shadyfier,” and turning the iconic iMac G4 into a modern media hub. All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by cybersecurity veteran Graham Cluley, joined this week by special guest Thom Langford.

    How to mine millions without paying the bill

    In episode 431 of the "Smashing Security" podcast, a self-proclaimed crypto-influencer calling himself CP3O thought he had found a shortcut to riches — by racking up millions in unpaid cloud bills. Meanwhile, we look at the growing threat of EDR-killer tools that can quietly switch off your endpoint protection before an attack even begins. And for something a little different, we peek into the Internet Archive’s dystopian Wayforward Machine and take a detour to Mary Shelley’s resting place in Bournemouth. All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley, joined this week by special guest Allan "Ransomware Sommelier" Liska.
