Your computer's mouse might not be as innocent as it looks - and one ransomware crew has a crisis of conscience that nobody saw coming.
We talk about how something as ordinary as a web page could turn your mouse into a surprisingly nosey neighbour, and why ransomware gangs need to think carefully about their reputation.
Meanwhile, Graham reveals a baked potato hack that might just change your life, and we take an unexpected detour to South America for a bit of literary adventure involving inflatable pigs.
All this and more is discussed in episode 436 of the "Smashing Security" podcast with cybersecurity veteran Graham Cluley, and his special guest Geoff White.
