Dishy DDoS dramas, and mining our minds for data

from Smashing Security Hosted by Graham Cluley

A CEO is arrested for turning satellite receivers into DDoS attack weapons, and we journey into the world of bossware and "affective computing" and explore how AI is learning to read our emotions – is this the future of work, or a recipe for dystopia?
