  • Smashing Security podcast #440: How to hack a prison, and the hidden threat of online checkouts
    Graham Cluley • 2025-10-22 16:30 • grahamcluley.com
    A literal insider threat: we head to a Romanian prison where “self-service” web kiosks allowed inmates to run wild. Then we head to the checkout aisle to ask why JavaScript on payment pages went feral, and how new PCI DSS rules are finally muzzling Magecart-style skimmers.

    Plus: Graham reveals his new-found superpower with Keyboard Maestro, and Scott describes a slick new way to whip up beautiful how-to videos with Screen Studio.

    All this and more is discussed in episode 440 of “Smashing Security” podcast with cybersecurity veteran Graham Cluley, and special guest Scott Helme.
