Smashing Security #061: Fallout over Hawaii missile false alarm

User interfaces and poor procedures lead to pandemonium in Hawaii, hackers are attempting to trick victims into opening cryptocurrency-related email attachments, and yet more pox-ridden apps are found in Android’s Google Play store.

All this and much much more is discussed in latest edition of the “Smashing Security” podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by Paul Ducklin.

    I just want to say I love the title of the podcast. Why is because of the pun (whether intended or not). The article in Phrack 'Smashing the stack for fun and profit' by .. was it Aleph1? Looking it up it was indeed. I have no idea how I remembered that other than I normally have too good of a memory for comfort (though it can be useful too).
