In the latest episode of the Kaspersky podcast<\/a>, we look into recent news about Donald Trump\u2019s campaign website being hacked \u2014 briefly \u2014 to promote a cryptocurrency scam. It was only a single page, but the hack comes at a critical time in the US election cycle.<\/p>\n

From there, we move on to a story about a psychotherapy clinic in Finland that was hacked. Patients are now finding their details on the dark web, and some have been contacted by an elusive individual called \u201cThe Ransom Guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

To wrap up, we look at a case of fake news in the retail sector. Anyone familiar with the dearly departed Woolworths chain knows it went under in 2008 \u2014 but that didn\u2019t stop somebody from creating a (now deleted) UK Woolworths Twitter account and claiming physical stores would be opening \u201cto save 2020.\u201d The story even reached the press, but it was all a hoax.<\/p>\n
