Smashing Security podcast #445: The hack that brought back the zombie apocalypse

America’s airwaves are haunted by zombies again, as we dig into a decade of broadcasters leaving their hardware open to attack, giving hackers the chance to hijack TV shows, blast out fake emergency alerts, and even replace religious sermons with explicit furry podcasts.

Meanwhile, we look at how a worker at a cybersecurity firm allegedly leaked internal information to a hacking gang – raising big questions about insider threats.

Plus: Frankenstein on Netflix, Vine nostalgia, and why Barney the Dinosaur may be the true criminal mastermind behind it all.

All this and more is discussed in episode 445 of the “Smashing Security” podcast with cybersecurity veteran Graham Cluley, and special guest Dan Raywood.
