Smashing Security, Episode 48, Crack, North Korea, and an 18th century cyber attack with Carol Terrio and Graham Cluley.

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of Smashing Security number 48 for the 19th of October 2017. My name is name is Graham Clooney and I'm joined as always by my good chairman and co-host Coral Terrio. Hello,
