AI in Healthcare: 1,357 Medical Devices Cleared — Only 3 Tested on Patients

Apple Spyware: What Your Threat Notification Really Tells You

An Apple spyware warning can be frightening but it doesn't necessarily mean your phone has been successfully hacked. We speak to Mohammed Almaskati, Director of Access Now’s Digital Security Helpline, about digital forensics, protecting sensitive information, why “no evidence” doesn't always mean you're safe, and how changing our everyday digital behaviour could help protect us.

The programme is presented by Ania Lichtarowicz.
