By no means knock on the door of a nuclear submarine base and ask for a selfie • Graham Cluley

A disgruntled knowledge analyst decides that the perfect response to shedding his contract is to steal your entire firm payroll database and demand $2.5 million in Bitcoin – signing his extortion emails from an organization referred to as “Loot.”

In the meantime, two folks drive as much as the doorway of the UK’s nuclear submarine base at Faslane and politely ask if they’ll take a look round. Vacationers? Spies? One thing in between?

Plus: Feminine Muslim punk rock group, and somewhat pink e book that may save your sanity in a post-truth world.

All this and extra in episode 460 of the “Smashing Safety” podcast with cybersecurity veteran Graham Cluley, and particular visitor Jenny Radcliffe.
