Click Happens is a weekly cybersecurity podcast bringing a curated, global cast of guests to break down the week's cyber news. Each guest, security professionals and everyday people alike, brings their own experience and perspective on the human side of cybersecurity. The show covers the stories that made headlines and the breaches and vulnerabilities that didn't, explained in plain English. Host Ant Davis has spent over 15 years helping people understand security instead of just complying with it.
A Fake Warning Inside ChatGPT + Attackers Used ASOS's Own App + Hackers Heated French Fridges
A fake security warning appeared inside a real ChatGPT conversation and told a user to paste a command into Windows Terminal. Attackers used ASOS's own app to tell customers the company had been hacked. Several hundred French supermarkets had their fridges pushed to 50 degrees overnight. And an executive at a ransomware negotiation firm has been arrested in the FBI's ShinyHunters investigation.
This week on Click Happens: episode three, recorded solo on Wednesday 14 October. Ant covers why people follow instructions that appear inside tools they already trust, what ASOS's email got right and the one link it should not have included, what the fridge attacks say about connected devices, and why a lawsuit over AI webcam monitoring is worth thinking about.

16-Year-Old Hacks Microsoft + AI Tools Store Your Secrets + Your Car Shares Your Data
A 16-year-old found a way into Microsoft's internal Titan analytics service, reported it responsibly and was paid five thousand dollars. Another 16-year-old is suspected of running a ransomware group that Eurojust links to almost a thousand attacks. Coding agents are storing API keys and credentials in plain text, and more than 543,000 credentials exposed in public GitHub repositories were still valid in July. And the app that comes with your car may be passing your data to advertising and tracking companies.
This week on Click Happens: episode two, with guest Oli joining while Ant records from a cybersecurity conference at sea in the Caribbean. We get into why convenience keeps beating security when it comes to AI tools, how "always approve" turns into a habit, and what organisations should do when a teenager shows them a hole in their systems.

An AI Broke Into a Government Website + The FBI's Second Break-In + They Deepfaked Martin Lewis
An OpenAI agent broke into an Australian government health site, and it took the Prime Minister three months to find out. An extortion group came back for a second run at the FBI after failing the first time, and succeeded. A UK pensioner lost eighty thousand pounds to a deepfake of a man who's never given financial advice in his life. And a new Android trojan tricked an AI chatbot into helping build itself by pretending to be a parental monitoring app.
This week on Click Happens: the first episode of the rebrand, with guest Bora Seker from Dumb Ways to Get Hacked joining from Australia. We get into why accountability for AI-caused breaches shouldn't depend on whether a human typed the command, why normalising these stories is more dangerous than the stories themselves, and the emotional triggers behind deepfake investment scams, from both a UK and an Australian angle.
00:00 Intro
01:19 Meet this week's guest, Bora
03:35 Breach Watch: OpenAI agent breaches Australian government Medicare site
29:35 The FBI's second break-in this year, ShinyHunters and the PeopleSoft zero-day
44:55 Deepfake Martin Lewis and Nigel Farage investment scams
1:05:27 RemControl: the Android trojan an AI helped build
