Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Jeni Barnett on BBC Surrey & Sussex to discuss the recent Dedicated Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks which affected so many websites and services, from Twitter and Netflix to Spotify and others. Who was behind it, how did they do it, and why has it caused one webcam manufacturer to start a product recall? Plus, how do you avoid being a victim of such an attack yourself?

You can hear Fevzi on BBC Radio Surrey and Sussex every 2nd and 4th Monday of the month between 2pm and 3pm. You can also follow and ask advice on Twitter at @gadgetdetective
