EP214 This week's update whirls us around the living room for a collection of stories demonstrating that your privacy and security are nothing to be taken for granted.
We start with a report with more troubling news about another robot vacuum cleaner gone rogue.
Then French newspaper Le Monde are the sleuths in unravelling more compromise for our global leaders from a fitness app that's already divulged the wearabouts of secret military bases.
The EU prepares to take a tough stance on insecure software.
We meet the next new secret agent and speculate that it could be a very lucrative new job role.
From there we learn the new numbers for Google's AI generated code and then have an update on a new open source LLM that checks for Zero days in Python code.
Finally we finish with an update from Microsoft's Threat Analysis Center for all those going to vote in the US November 5th.
We circled the floor for this week's collection of updates, and now it's time to clean up!
