Risky Business #301 -- Hack your way to the top of the charts
Presented by

Technology Editor
On this week's show we're having a chat with Peter Fillmore about his upcoming talk at Ruxcon. It's all about gaming online music services like Rdio and Spotify. We've heard of clickfraud, but it's time to get ready for streamfraud!
Also this week we're chatting with the CEO of Swiss company ID Quantique about quantum random number generators. With recent revelations that NIST-backed RNGs might have been subverted by the NSA, it seems interest in quantum-based technology is hitting fever pitch.
In fact ID Quantique just raised US$5.6m in funding to expand its operations.
