About this episode
Do you get texts telling you there’s an unclaimed parcel waiting for you at the post office?
Turns out scammers can find out if we’re expecting something in the post and time a scam text to coincide with our online purchases -- and it could all be completely legal.
And while 2024 saw advances in artificial intelligence, they didn’t seem to wow us like they did in 2023. Are we simply harder to impress now?
Breaking all this down -- and more -- are technology reporters Ange Lavoipierre and James Purtill.
