A teenage cybercriminal posts a smug screenshot to mock a sextortion scammer… and by chance palms over the keys to his real-world id. In the meantime, we glance into the crystal ball for 2026 and take into account how stolen knowledge is now the jet gas of cybercrime – and the way subsequent 12 months might be even nastier than 2025.
Plus, Graham rants about recipe websites that gained’t shut up, and there’s much more love for Lily Allen’s album “West Finish Woman” album.
All this and extra is mentioned in episode 446 of the “Smashing Safety” podcast with cybersecurity veteran Graham Cluley, and particular visitor Rik Ferguson.
