From Instagram panic to Grok gone wild • Graham Cluley

Confusion reigns after claims that information linked to 17.5 million Instagram accounts is up on the market – sparked by a imprecise put up, contradictory statements, and a flood of password reset emails no one requested for.

And we dig into Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, after it began producing sexualised photos of girls and youngsters – elevating uncomfortable questions on guardrails, accountability, and why enjoying the censorship card doesn’t make the issue go away.

All this, and way more, in episode 450 of the “Smashing Safety” podcast with Graham Cluley, and particular visitor Monica Verma.
