Catfishing services, bad sports, and another cockup

AI news is bad news, an online service to catch your cheating partner, and an IoT-enabled dick cage fails to keep a grip on its own security.

All this and much much more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by Mark Stockley.

Plus don't miss our featured interview with Alex Lawrence, principal security architect at Sysdig.
