When Ubiquiti was hacked, people assumed it was a typical security breach, but the truth was much more interesting. In the latest episode of the Smashing Security podcast, Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, along with Mark Stockley, discussed why police are pleased that criminals are using end-to-end encrypted messaging systems, and why the Apple Watch is being accused of crying wolf. They also featured an interview with SecurEnvoys Chris Martin. The hack of Ubiquiti was covered by ZD Net and Ars Technica, and it was revealed that the perpetrator was an employee assigned to investigate the hack. The Apple Watch was praised for its chilling real-life emergency call ad, and it has been credited with saving lives. However, some first responders are asking iPhone users to disable Emergency SOS and crash detection due to the influx of false positives. Emergency SOS via satellite is now available on the iPhone 14 lineup in the US and Canada. The podcast is sponsored by Bitwarden, NordLayer, and SecurEnvoy. Graham Cluley is a well-known security analyst who has worked in the anti-virus industry since the early 1990s. He is now an independent security analyst and a public speaker on computer security, hackers, and online privacy.
