Smashing Security podcast #466: Meta sees everything, Copy Fail, and a deepfake gets hired

This episode transcript covers three principal security concerns: Meta smart glasses uploaded audio/video to cloud services where human reviewers at a contractor in Nairobi reportedly viewed sensitive footage (privacy/data exposure and whistleblower-driven contract termination); a Linux kernel elevation-of-privilege vulnerability dubbed “Copy Fail” (CVSS ~7.8) which was found and patched, posing moderate risk to Linux servers if unpatched; and practical deepfake misuse where an actor using face-swap and synthetic assets passed remote interviews and received a job offer, demonstrating an emerging social-engineering/identity-fraud TTP.
