Graham digs into a chilling new US Justice Department report that shows how surveillance tech was weaponised to deadly effect.</p><p>Meanwhile, Carole checks the rear-view mirror on the driverless car industry. Whatever happened to those million Tesla robotaxis Elon Musk promised by 2020? Spoiler: they’re here — sort of — but they sometimes drive into oncoming traffic.</p><p>Plus: Leighton House, heatwave survival gadgets, and an unflushable toilet situation (not what you think).</p><p>All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault.</p><p>Warning: This podcast may contain nuts, adult themes, and rude language.</p><p><strong>Episode links:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="techcrunch.com/2025/06/30/mexican-drug-cartel-…; rel="nofollow">Mexican drug cartel hacker spied on FBI official’s phone to track and kill informants, report says</a> - TechCrunch.</li><li><a href="oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/25…; rel="nofollow">Audit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Efforts to Mitigate the Effects of Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance</a> - US Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General.</li><li><a href="apnews.com/article/tesla-crash-police-car-ligh…; rel="nofollow">Tesla driver tells police he was using 'self-drive' system when his car hit a parked police vehicle</a> - AP News.</li><li><a href="theguardian.com/technology/2025/jun/29/elon-mu…; rel="nofollow">‘Lidar is lame’: why Elon Musk’s vision for a self-driving Tesla taxi faltered</a> - The Guardian.</li><li><a href="eu.usatoday.com/story/business/technology/2025…; rel="nofollow">Tesla invited influencers to test its robotaxi.
