    This man hid $400 million in a fishing rod. Then it vanished
    Apr 1 2026
    A cannabis-growing, beekeeping, gyrocopter-flying Irishman invested his drug money in Bitcoin back in 2011 - and now sits on a fortune worth $400 million. There's just one small problem: the access codes were tucked inside his fishing rod case, which has mysteriously vanished. Or has it? Because this week, one of his frozen wallets suddenly woke up and moved $35 million - and someone had to identify themselves to do it.Meanwhile, Ajax Football Club scores a spectacular cyber own-goal, as a data breach that the club claimed affected "a few hundred" fans turns out to may have exposed the personal details of 300,000 supporters - along with the ability to steal match tickets and quietly remove people from the stadium ban list.All this and much more in episode 461 of the "Smashing Security" podcast with cybersecurity expert and keynote speaker Graham Cluley, joined this week by special guest journalist Danny Palmer.EPISODE LINKS:Iran-linked hackers breach FBI director's personal email, publish photos and documents - Reuters.Windows PCs crash three times as often as Macs, report says - TechSpot.Wife used CCTV to steal $176M of husband’s crypto, UK court told - Coin Telegraph.Gardaí open €30m bitcoin virtual wallet, first of 12 accessed since seizure in 2019 - Irish Times.Irish Drug Dealer’s Lost BTC Stack Worth $400m Has Woken Up - Arkham.Ajax FC data breach exposes 300,000 fans, hacker steals tickets an stadium ban details - Cybernews.Small Prophets - BBC iPlayer.RPG Taverns - Dungeons and Dragons tavern in London.Smashing Security merchandise (t-shirts, mugs, stickers and stuff)SPONSORS:Action1 - Keep your systems safe (and your sanity intact) with the patch management platform that just works.

  • Never knock on the door of a nuclear submarine base and ask for a selfie

    Never knock on the door of a nuclear submarine base and ask for a selfie
    Mar 26 2026

    A disgruntled data analyst decides that the best response to losing his contract is to steal the entire company payroll database and demand $2.5 million in Bitcoin - signing his extortion emails from a company called "Loot."

    Meanwhile, two people drive up to the entrance of the UK's nuclear submarine base at Faslane and politely ask if they can have a look around. Tourists? Spies? Something in between?

    Plus: Female Muslim punk rock group, and a little red book that might save your sanity in a post-truth world.

    All this and more in episode 460 of the "Smashing Security" podcast with cybersecurity veteran Graham Cluley, and special guest Jenny Radcliffe.
