False irritant, defective system and fruity taste of anxiety Graham Cluley
A strange case of political parody, Trump’s top aide, Susie Wiles, was cloned (digitally, not biologically – we think), while senior Republicans began to get invitations to connect with “her” on the telegram to share their Trump Paldon Wishologist. Is this a deep material? Or someone who only has half the impression and accesses dark data brokers?
Meanwhile, we have a worrying and familiar journey amid the mental health crisis in the UK and how Tiktok can step in on advice like “eat oranges in the shower” to ease your anxiety. Spoiler: No. But this may make your bathroom smell good.
Plus: A nostalgic tech support story involving CRT monitors, wooden doors and unexpected brown shades.
Cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault discuss all of this in the latest version of the “Smashing Security” podcast.
Warning: This podcast may contain nuts, adult themes, and rude language.
