In episode 317, the Tom and Kevin discuss a reported deepfake scam that allegedly led to the theft of 25.6 million from a multinational company and Canada’s attempt to ban the Flipper Zero device, believing it plays a role in auto thefts. They critique the Canadian government’s understanding of the device and its capabilities, questioning whether the move is political posturing rather than a measure to enhance public safety. The hosts also speak about the ‘human password’ concept, which prompts a broader discussion about the importance of out-of-band confirmation for financial transactions.
