Graham wonders what would happen if his bouncing buttocks were captured on camera by a Tesla employee, and we take a look at canny scams connected to China’s Operation Fox Hunt.
All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the “Smashing Security” podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault.
(Oh, and when Carole mentioned Colin the Accountant as her “Pick of the Week” she really meant “Colin from Accounts”. Sorry!)
