If you think maximum Apple security settings make you untouchable, think again.
This week on the podcast dig into a genuinely unsettling account takeover attempt against WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg - MFA fatigue, real Apple alerts, a convincing impersonation call, and a phishing page polished enough to fool almost anyone. If it nearly got him, none of us should be complacent.

We also ask a question that sounds simple but really isn't: would you donate your lifetime medical data to science in exchange for a promise of anonymity? We unpack why "de-identified" data from UK Biobank may offer far less privacy protection than donors were led to believe - and how frighteningly little it takes to re-identify someone.

@discontinuity @gcluley Well, it’s a relief to know it is not just me…
When I did used to own motorised vehicles they tended to be classics, for which read “they were old,” or were motorcycles, so the fuel would go in somewhere weird such as under the driver’s seat (e.g. Willy’s MB), in the middle and on top (bike tank), or the car was small/thin enough that the fuel hose could easily reach either side (e.g. pre-BMW Mini).
