Take That’s Gary Barlow chats up a pizza-slinging granny from Essex via Facebook, or does he? And a scam takes a sinister turn – for both the person being scammed and an innocent participant – in Ohio.
All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the “Smashing Security” podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault.

I absolutely love the Smashing Security podcast, and this episode was no exception! Graham and Carole always manage to strike the perfect balance between informative content and entertaining banter. In episode 368, they tackled some really pertinent topics with their trademark wit and expertise. From the latest cybersecurity news to insightful discussions on privacy and digital hygiene, every minute of this podcast is a gem. Keep up the fantastic work, Graham and Carole! Looking forward to many more engaging episodes.
Glad you enjoyed the podcast Adam!
Another wonderful episode!! Thanks for the truly informative "Ha-Ha's"!! (….and now I have to go google who Gary Barlow is! lol)
Cheers Aryon. Just be careful not to end up with George Bercow instead.
