After a brief discussion of the Log4Shell vulnerability panic, we discuss how Virgin Media has got itself into hot water, a fat-fingered fumble at the Bored Ape Yacht Club, and how to hack around your girlfriend’s facial recognition.
All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the award-winning “Smashing Security” podcast by computer security veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by Mark Stockley.

Sponsor: 1Password
The first annual 1Password “State of Access” benchmark study illuminates the grave dangers unwittingly posed by checked-out, apathetic employees — including security professionals.
Burned-out employees are 3 times more likely to say security rules and policies “aren’t worth the hassle,” and nearly half of burned-out security professionals say it’s unrealistic for companies to be aware of and manage all apps and devices that employees use.
