Smashing Security podcast #448: The Kindle that got pwned – demo.burdah.biz.id
Think your Kindle is harmless? Think again! In this episode, we unpack a Black Hat Europe talk revealing how a boobytrapped audiobook could exploit the Amazon eBook reader – potentially letting an attacker break into your account and seize control of your credit card.

Plus a blast from 2021’s “summer of ransomware” returns to haunt Ireland’s Health Service Executive, as victims are offered €750 each.

And because it’s the last show before the Christmas break, there’s also a Pick of the Week that veers from cosy rom-com comfort to pointy-polygon nostalgia.

All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of the award-winning “Smashing Security” podcast with computer security veteran Graham Cluley, joined this week by special guest Danny Palmer.
