September 24, 2021 16:00 - 22 minutes - 20.7 MBI've spent some long, frustrating hours trying to convince realtors to adopt proven technology.

Episode 4.17 - Modern vehicles, especially EVs, are rife with security holes
September 17, 2021 17:38 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MBI few weeks ago I was mercilessly cajoled by a PR firm to talk to the chief marketing officer of Sepio Systems, Bentsi ben Atar about their products and services. I don't do product announcements but I do talk about the problems the products were created to solve. So Bentsi and I talked for a while about how prevalent the potential for hacking modern vehicles is. And, apparently, public EV charging stations are a slam dunk for hackers. I hope this doesn't ruin your weekend. --- Send in a ...
Episode 4.16 - Apple's porn scan is bad, unless you think it is good
August 24, 2021 18:12 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MBThe term “slippery slope” is applied to a lot of hypothetical outcomes of everything from legislation to technology. In the case of Apple monitoring the use of products and services for distributing child pornography it appears there are more than one or those lubricated hillsides. At Cyber Protection Magazine we are internally debating the benefit/risk ratio of this decision and decided to air our thoughts in real time in this episode of Crucial Tech.

Episode 4:11 - That time when the business world got serious about cybercrime
June 14, 2021 15:53 - 21 minutes - 19.8 MBCybercrime has been with us for a while, but the business world saw it as a minor annoyance. Luckily, the criminal world kept the cost low, requiring small ransom amounts and cash cards as a delivery mechanism. #Cryptocurrency kicked the demands up because it was easier to demand more money and easier to hide the money trail. Big ransomware demands hit the news and infrastructure was threatened. But in 2020 and 2021, law enforcement figured out some ways to track those criminals down. Extrad...

Apple's giving individual IoS users control over that decision is a big step forward into making us all safer. It also removes a lot of the hype and fraud that comes from unrestricted tracking.

The problem is that few companies will let you know what they are doing about managing those things and if it is done badly, you are screwed.
