Smashing Security podcast #378: Julian Assange, inside a DDoS attack, and deepfake traumas

Wikileaks’s Julian Assange is a free man, deepfakes cause trouble in the playground, and we hear hot takes about ransomware and tales from inside a devastating denial-of-service attack.

All this and much much more is discussed in the latest edition of the “Smashing Security” podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by Eleanor Dallaway.
