Smashing Security podcast #457: How a cybersecurity boss framed his own employee

### Executive summary This Smashing Security podcast episode describes a jaw‑dropping case in which a defence contractor sold zero‑day exploits to a Russia‑linked broker and mishandled the internal investigation (the investigator was the leaker who framed a colleague); it also explores the emerging risk of nation‑state efforts to poison large language models and other AI systems to manipulate truth and influence online information.
