Pete Recommends – Weekly highlights on cyber security issues, November 2, 2019

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. Four highlights from this week: Comcast Trying to Stop Google From Encrypting Browsing Histories: Report; The Ransomware Superhero of Normal, Illinois; VA Left Vets Vulnerable to Identity Theft; and US proposes cutting off funds for Chinese telecom equipment.
