Episode Description
In this episode Rebecca continues answering a few more of the hundreds of questions she has received from listeners and readers throughout the past few months, covering a wide range of topics. Some of the questions include: • What happened to those men, bar owners, who were arrested for stalking a woman by using digital tracking devices there in Des Moines, Iowa? Did they go to prison? What laws apply? Hear Rebecca’s answers, in addition to other associated news and points about IoT trackers, and how to identify if they are stalking you. • The FBI and FCC recently warned that those free USB charging stations in public spaces, such as airports, hotels, hospitals, etc., can have devices hidden within them to steal data, spread malware, etc. Didn’t you discuss this in a previous episode? What are some other ways to prevent such skimmers from stealing data? What other harms can result from such skimmers and modified charging cords? Rebecca answers these, and provides some additional helpful information for this threat. • A family member was a victim of check washing! Are there any more tips you have about how to prevent check washing that you can provide in addition to those your described in your December 2022 Privacy Professor Tips message? • I received a pretty “smart” necklace for Hanukkah that, if you press the button on the charm twice, texts and GPS location will immediately be sent to up to five friends/family members to let them know help is needed. With an option to also contact 911. It sounds like it could be extremely privacy-invasive. What tips do you have for me to use this in a secure, privacy-protecting way? Rebecca provides several suggestions, along with a real-life case of IoT being used to track down an assault victim. • Do you think AI and ML will help to reduce financial cybercrime or make it worse? Rebecca’s answer may surprise you! • And more… Rebecca provides answers that all listeners, anywhere in the world, can use. #Privacy #PrivacyManagement #RiskManagement #CyberSecurity #DataSecurity #Cybercrime #PersonalData #Awareness #Education #Spam #Spoofing #Dobbs #DobbsLeak #Government Security #IoT #IoTSecurity #IoTPrivacy #LocationTrackers #IoTAssaults #IoTCrime #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ML #MachineLearning #CheckWashing #StalkingLaws #CyberStalking #USBSkimmers #JuiceJacking #Malware
Data Security and Privacy with the Privacy Professor
New shows the first Saturday of each month at 8 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Business Channel
There are more information security and privacy threats than ever before. As more technologies emerge, more surveillance tactics are used, and more artificial intelligence systems are deployed, cybersecurity and privacy risks grow exponentially. Rebecca has spent her entire career working to improve information security and privacy protections, by not only raising awareness of the issues within businesses and other types of organizations, but also by raising the awareness of these risks in the public and helping them to understand how to better protect their own personal data, allowing them to take their privacy protections into their own hands. Rebecca offers information about these existing and emerging security and privacy risks and provides fresh insights into the impacts of exploiting these risks, and gives guidance, tips, expert advice and news, with fascinating guests, to help all organizations, and the general public, understand what they need to do to mitigate these risks.
