With news cycles--including Central European news cycles--focusing on Pegasus spyware and its possible use by authoritarian governments-- licensed detective Preston Smith first discusses regional political, criminal and corruption news (including Albanian vendettas and the Croatian Jonathan Taylor whistleblower case), and then the realities of spyware and phone surveillance. This episode also includes a new feature, the "scam of the month," for those seeking knowledge on common grifts and the steps and awareness needed to avoid them. [The spyware/Pegasus isses are discussed at around minute 25 to the end].
