JB Benjamin, creator of Vox Messenger and Vox Crypto apps is interviewed by Alistair on this episode of The Technology Whisperers podcast, where we talk about privacy, AI, cryptography and equity in a world where quantum computing is now a reality.

This week we talk about the massive data breach over at MediSecure Australia, which after just a few weeks has left the once profitable company in administration.
