<p>A 23-year-old radio enthusiast spent £300 on a piece of kit from the internet, and used it to bring four packed high-speed trains to a screeching halt. His defence in court? Possibly the most creative excuse we've heard all year.</p><p>Meanwhile, owners of $4,000 robot lawnmowers are discovering that their gadget can be hijacked over the internet, redirected at journalists who foolishly lie down in front of it, and used to harvest Wi-Fi passwords, email addresses, and GPS coordinates. Change the default password? Sure - until the next firmware update silently resets it back.</p><p>Plus - don't miss our featured interview with XBOW's Brendan Dolan-Gavitt about how AI is transforming penetration testing.</p><p>All this and more in episode 468 of the "Smashing Security" podcast with cybersecurity expert and keynote speaker Graham Cluley, and special guest Geoff White.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>EPISODE LINKS:</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li><a href="techcrunch.com/2026/05/18/open-source-tool-mak…; rel="nofollow">Open source tool maker Grafana Labs says hackers stole its code, refuses to pay ransom</a> - TechCrunch.</li><li><a href="abcnews.com/GMA/Culture/man-accused-stealing-b…; rel="nofollow">Man accused of stealing Beyoncé’s unreleased music takes guilty plea</a> - ABC News.</li><li><a href="reversinglabs.com/blog/the-shai-hulud-code-dro…; rel="nofollow">Shai-Hulud code drop: Open season for supply chain attacks</a>- ReversingLabs.</li><li><a href="bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/student-hac…; rel="nofollow">Student hacked Taiwan high-speed rail to trigger emergency brakes</a> - BleepingComputer.</li><li><a href="theregister.com/off-prem/2008/01/11/polish-tee…; rel="nofollow">Polish teen derails tram after hacking train network</a> - The Register.</li><li><a href="wired.com/story/poland-train-radio-stop-attack…; rel="nofollow">The Cheap Radio Hack That Disrupted Poland's Railway System</a> - WIRED.</li><li><a href="theverge.com/tech/925696/yarbo-robot-lawn-mowe…; rel="nofollow">The man with an army of Yarbo robot lawn mowers</a> - The Verge.</li><li><a href="tiktok.com/@verge/video/7637180904892386573"; rel="nofollow">Ever been run over by a robot?
