Smashing Security podcast #364: Bing pop-up wars, and the British Library ransomware scandal

There’s a Bing ding dong, after Microsoft (over?) enthusiastically encourages Chrome users to stop using Google, and silence hits the British Library as it shares its story of a ransomware attack.

All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the “Smashing Security” podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault.

Plus: Don’t miss our featured interview with Kolide founder Jason Meller about his firm’s acquisition by 1Password.
