The Security box, podcast 100 for June 22, 2022

The technology blog and podcast and TSB

Welcome to podcast 100 of the Security Box. I can't believe this series is already at 100, and its been growing strong with lots of discussion, and of course comments on things that people have found of interest. I hope that the show can continue to grow, and with partners in the industry, we will continue to bring you things that might not be covered elsewhere in much detail if any. Today, we're going to bring the bonehead award, with an article we'll summarize in a segment called interestingly, the "asshole award of the podcast." For this podcast, the article U.S. marshal used controversial cell phone location service to illegally access data, DOJ says from Cyberscoop. The Marshall definitely needs this award, and you never know who will be next. Don't abuse the privelage of the access you're granted to do your job or you'll possibly get caught. On this episode as well, we'll cover two different topics. The first, Privacy legislation might provide a powerful guard against online identity fraud might have some teeth if everyone is on board. I definitely think that this should be covered because we talk about the fact that companies have our data with no recourse if something goes wrong.. Maybe that'll change? In a related note, we've been getting calls from various folks about vehicle warranties, other notices from companies that don't identify themselves and the like. In an article titled INTERPOL raids hundreds of scammy call centers in sweep it talks about how many different people have been picked up due to the number one thing that gets people, social engineering. If you've not read this article, you should. It might be a start to something that hopefully should go down at some point. Of course, we'll have comments from others who participate in the taping and live broadcast on Wednesdays, and possibly other topics not listed here too. Thanks for reading, participating, and listening! I greatly appreciate your support.
