=========================

Two Bitcoin hardware wallet makers, Keystone and Foundation, were hit by data breaches within 10 days of each other. Customers' names, home addresses and phone numbers leaked, and convincing phishing emails followed. Michael, Tony and Katie explain why the customer database was the weak point, and what to do before you order your next device.

Then Apple's own privacy report says the average app has six trackers, and Tony makes his case for a privacy phone. Plus unauthorised AI agents inside US bank accounts, France's government weighing up blocking social media during the protests, and new powers for HMRC to take money straight from UK bank accounts.

And one tech investor's latest Bitcoin call earns him Donkey of the Week.
