Smashing Security Podcast #415: Hacking Hijinks at the Hospital, and WASPI Scams
Join cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault as they dive into a bizarre case of a man accused of hacking medical networks in Oklahoma. But that's not all - they'll also be discussing how this individual allegedly toured hospital staff areas, searching for computers to install spyware on. To make matters more shocking, the same person is said to have shared their hacking exploits on LinkedIn.
But before we get into the nitty-gritty of the hacking world, Graham and Carole are back with another pressing concern - the WASPI scams targeting UK women born in the 1950s. Fraudsters are exploiting pension injustice for phishing gain, leaving many vulnerable to financial loss. The duo will break down how these scams work and what you can do to protect yourself.
Throughout this episode, Graham and Carole will share their expertise on a range of cybersecurity topics, from the latest threats and trends to tips and tricks for staying safe online. With their combined experience in the field, they'll provide listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the issues at hand.
