Pete Recommends – Weekly highlights on cyber security issues October 28 2018

Privacy and security issues impact every aspect of our lives – home, work, travel, education, health and medical records – to name but a few. On a weekly basis Pete Weiss highlights articles and information that focus on the increasingly complex and wide ranging ways technology is used to compromise and diminish our privacy and security, often without our situational awareness. Note – four significant highlights of this week’s column: How Russian trolls manipulated American politics; How to Spot a Twitter Bot; Suspected explosive devices are hard for UPS, FedEx, USPS to detect; and Apple boss takes aim at ‘weaponization’ of customer data.
