Tom Uren and Amberleigh Jack talk about a new Citizen Lab report into Webloc, a tool to identify and track mobile devices. It demonstrates how the collection and sale of mobile phone geolocation data presents privacy and national security risks.

They also discuss a deep-dive into how a single hacker was able to breach nine Mexican government agencies in just weeks using AI assistants. They enabled the attacker to move much faster.
