This week, we delve into the darkish world of faux CAPTCHAs designed to hijack your laptop. Plus, the AI security clock is ticking down – is doomsday nearer than we expect? And to high it off, we uncover the sticky state of affairs of Krispy Kreme dealing with a ransomware assault.

All this and extra is mentioned within the newest jam-packed version of the “Smashing Safety” podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by Mark Stockley of “The AI Repair” podcast.
