How fabulous to have @dannypalmer.bsky.social as a guest on the latest "Smashing Security" podcast. We discuss the ingenious way in which the Mafia (and high-profile NBA stars) allegedly hacked high-stake poker games, and how a Formula 1 megastar had his passport stolen due to lax website security.
