Summary
A disgruntled data analyst decides that the best response to losing his contract is to steal the entire company payroll database and demand $2.5 million in Bitcoin - signing his extortion emails from a company called "Loot." Meanwhile, two people drive up to the entrance of the UK's nuclear submarine base at Faslane and politely ask if they can have a look around. Tourists? Spies? Something in between? Plus: Female Muslim punk rock group, and a little red book that might save your sanity in a post-truth world. All this and more in episode 460 of the "Smashing Security" podcast with cybersecurity veteran Graham Cluley, and special guest Jenny Radcliffe.
