Tech Life

Available for over a year

As Europe sees a wave of cyber-attacks on commercial fridges, we investigate how everyday devices are vulnerable. A listener tells us about his experiences as a moderator for a pornography service. Plus, how the US Midterm elections affect tech around the world. And tech time troubles with another listener. Presenter: Chris Vallance Producer: Imran Rahman-Jones (Image: A graphic illustration of a hand holding a phone. Around it are pictures of connected devices, such as a smart bulb and a camera.
