Phone hacking, Piers Morgan, and Carole’s Christmas cockup

Piers Morgan is less than happy after a judgement that there is "no doubt" he knew phone hacking was going on at the Daily Mirror, and a shopper comes a-cropper just before Christmas.

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