Smashing Security podcast #468: High-speed train hacks and homicidal lawnmowers

The podcast transcript summarizes several security stories: a 23-year-old exploited an outdated verification system in Taiwan High Speed Rail using a low-cost radio to inject control signals and halt multiple trains; security research revealed internet-enabled YARBO robotic lawnmowers with default-credential and remote-access flaws that permitted remote control, camera surveillance, and credential/GPS data exfiltration; and guests discuss how increasingly capable AI tools accelerate vulnerability discovery and exploit development, changing offense–defense dynamics for pen testing and remediation.
