Ransomware doesn\u2019t just freeze computers – it can silence alarms too. And when the Natural History Museum in Paris went dark, thieves helped themselves to \u20ac600,000 worth of gold in a daring late-night heist. Meanwhile, developers have a new headache: a worm dubbed \u201cShai Hulud\u201d has wriggled its way through more than 180 npm packages, quietly stealing secrets.<\/p>\n

All this and more is discussed in episode 436 of the award-winning “Smashing Security” podcast with cybersecurity veteran Graham Cluley, and his special guest Zo\u00eb Rose.<\/p><\/div>\n
