Get fresh NerdWallet data on what your points and miles are really worth in 2025 — and why the answer might change how you book travel. Should you take a $650 flight voucher or 32,500 miles? How much are your points and miles actually worth? Hosts Sally French and Meghan Coyle break down the latest NerdWallet valuations to help you make smarter redemption choices. But first, they cover the week’s biggest travel headlines, including Southwest Airlines’ new partnership with EVA Air, Frontier’s companion certificate promotion and status match, and JetBlue opening up award bookings with Condor Airlines. Then, travel Nerd Craig Joseph joins Meghan to discuss NerdWallet’s latest airline, hotel, and credit card point valuations, with tips and tricks on comparing loyalty programs, maximizing transfer partners, and deciding when cash is more valuable than points. They also discuss the impact of devaluations, how close-in bookings can save you points, and why premium cabins can sometimes offer outsized redemption value. Plus: Craig’s hot take on airport lounges. Card benefits, terms and fees can change.

A critical infrastructure hack hits the headlines - involving default passwords, boasts on Telegram, and a finale that will make a few cyber-crooks wish the ground would swallow them whole. Meanwhile we dig into the bit we don't talk about enough: the human cost of defending companies from hackers - stress, burnout, and how better leadership culture can help make security teams safer and saner. Plus we say a heartfelt "la di dah" to Diane Keaton, and tune in to a freshly re-released slice of pre-Fleetwood Mac history for the music-obsessed amongst us.

When your mouse turns snitch, and hackers grow a conscience 42:18

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.

Salesforce's trusted domain of doom 43:20

منذ 7 weeks43:20

43:20

Researchers uncovered a security flaw in Salesforce’s shiny new Agentforce. The vulnerability, dubbed "ForcedLeak", let them smuggle AI-read instructions in via humble Web-to-Lead form... and ended up spilling data for the low, low price of five dollars. And we discuss why data breach communications still default to "we take security seriously" while quietly implying "assume no breach" - until the inevitable walk-back. Plus, we take a look at ITV's phone-hacking drama with David Tennant, and take a crack at decoding the history of the Rosetta Stone. Hear all this and more in episode 437 of the "Smashing Security" podcast by cybersecurity veteran Graham Cluley, joined this week by special guest Paul Ducklin.

Ransomware doesn’t just freeze computers - it can silence alarms too. And when the Natural History Museum in Paris went dark, thieves helped themselves to €600,000 worth of gold in a daring late-night heist. Meanwhile, developers have a new headache: a worm dubbed “Shai Hulud” has wriggled its way through more than 180 npm packages, quietly stealing secrets. But it’s not all doom and gloom - unless you count your kitchen appliances turning into ad billboards.

When "bad actors" stop being hackers and start being... actual actors. This week, Graham and special guest Jenny Radcliffe play “Hacker or Ham?” (yes, Steven Seagal, we’re looking at you), before diving into a campaign which saw an Iranian gang luring Israeli performers with fake casting calls for a serious film. We unpack why positive lures can short-circuit scepticism just as effectively as fear. Plus, the UK's ICO says students are increasingly hacking their own schools. Meanwhile, Graham heads to 1960s Oxford with Endeavour, while Jenny investigates the Wirral’s mysterious "Catman". All this, and more, in episode 435 of the "Smashing Security" podcast.

Ever wondered what would happen if Burger King left the keys to the kingdom lying around for anyone to use? Ethical hackers did - and uncovered drive-thru recordings, hard-coded passwords, and even the power to open a Whopper outlet on the moon. Meanwhile, over in Silicon Valley, one AI wunderkind managed to turn a $7 million payday into a career-ending lawsuit by allegedly walking trade secrets straight out the door as he jumped ship for a rival. All this and much more is discussed in episode 434 of the award-winning “Smashing Security” podcast with computer security veteran Graham Cluley, joined this week by special guest Lianne Potter.

How hackers turned AI into their new henchman 45:27

منذ 11 weeks45:27

Your AI reads the small print, and that's a problem. This week in episode 433 of "Smashing Security" we dig into LegalPwn - malicious instructions tucked into code comments and disclaimers that sweet-talks AI into rubber-stamping dangerous payloads (or even pretending they’re a harmless calculator). Meanwhile, new research from Anthropic reveals that hackers have already used AI agents to break into networks, steal passwords, sift through stolen data, and even write custom ransom notes. In other words, one hacker with an AI helper can work like an entire team of cybercriminals. Plus: a joyous geek detour into keyboard history, and the most diabolically annoying, fully functional AI-generated CAPTCHA that you will love to inflict on your friends.

We unpack how some password managers can be tricked into coughing up your secrets, with a clickjacking sleight-of-hand, what website owners can do to prevent it, and how to lock down your personal password vault. Then we time-hop to the post-quantum scramble: "harvest-now, decrypt later", Microsoft's 2033 quantum-safe pledge, and whether your printer will survive the update apocalypse. All this, plus a gloriously dodgy URL “shadyfier,” and turning the iconic iMac G4 into a modern media hub. All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by cybersecurity veteran Graham Cluley, joined this week by special guest Thom Langford.

How to mine millions without paying the bill 34:20

In episode 431 of the "Smashing Security" podcast, a self-proclaimed crypto-influencer calling himself CP3O thought he had found a shortcut to riches — by racking up millions in unpaid cloud bills. Meanwhile, we look at the growing threat of EDR-killer tools that can quietly switch off your endpoint protection before an attack even begins. And for something a little different, we peek into the Internet Archive’s dystopian Wayforward Machine and take a detour to Mary Shelley’s resting place in Bournemouth. All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley , joined this week by special guest Allan "Ransomware Sommelier" Liska.

Those of you who tuned in to last week's episode (#428) will have heard the big news from my podcast pal Carole that she's decided to move on from her co-hosting duties on the show. There have been some lovely messages of support sent through for Carole, and indeed for me too. Thank you very much to all of you - it's really heatywarming to hear how much the last 428 episodes have meant to you all, and how much you want the show to go on. And so - as I said last week - it will carry on. Next week there will be a regular edition of "Smashing Security" with a special guest well known to all of you, and I plan to carry on as normal every week with guests after that... This week though I felt like I needed to catch my breath, and take a break. But I didn't want to leave you without something to listen to... So, here is a special edition of "Smashing Security" with a couple of clips from recent episodes of its sister show "The AI Fix" , which I co-host with Mark Stockley. If you enjoy "The AI Fix," please do follow it in your favourite podcast apps and tell your friends! Until next week, cheerio bye bye. Episode links: The AI Fix . The AI Fix on Apple Podcasts .
