055: Uber, net neutrality, and website hacks

Uber covers up a data breach, the noose tightens on net neutrality, and Bulletproof's website spills the data beans.

All this and much much more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by computer security veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by umm.. nobody because they didn't arrange a special guest.
