In this episode narrated by Rav Wilding, a young couple’s new glamping business is threatened when their Instagram account is hacked into and taken over. The hacker demands $500 to hand back control, but the couple stand their ground. Incidents like this are more common than you might think, with more than half of small businesses suffering a cyberattack in the last 12 months. We look at the work being done by the West Midlands Cyber Crime Unit to combat this growing online threat.\n\nWe also see how intelligent trackers are helping to recover stolen cars on false plates and how drones are helping to flush out criminals.
