Network Security Podcast, Episode 168

Despite a short discussion of Rich's paranoia in the opening of the show, we mostly play it straight and stick to the security news. We found a few interesting stories this week, and the major theme seems to be "stupidity". On one side is a prison that let an inmate reprogram their computer system, on the other a money-mule for scams that thought sending money-grams to foreign countries was a legitimate "work at home" job.

Sigh.
