059: An intro to Bitcoin and Blockchain

In this special "splinter" episode of the "Smashing Security" podcast we take a look at Bitcoin and Blockchain. What's all the fuss about cryptocurrencies? How can you protect your Bitcoin wallet? And how does the Blockchain work?

Lots of questions, and Graham offers to sell his family.

Listen to the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by computer security veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by special guest Peter Ullrich of the "Explain Blockchain" podcast.
