The Smashing Security podcast episode discusses recent cybercrime incidents and trends: Microsoft's Twitter account was hijacked to promote a Clippy-themed crypto scam, a UK report (Report Fraud / City of London Police) shows a 417% increase in money stolen via email and social-media account takeovers (£6.3M in FY 2025–2026), and AI-related incidents (including a leak of ~13,000 internal screenshots from 300+ companies) highlight emerging risks—emphasizing social engineering, account hijacking, and the need for MFA/passkeys and public awareness.
