Pete Recommends Weekly highlights on cyber security issues, February 12, 2022

Privacy and cybersecurity 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 online security, often without our situational awareness. Five highlights from this week: The MY2022 app is a required download for Olympians and looks like a security nightmare; The country inoculating against disinformation; The IRS Says It Will Ditch ID.me’s Facial Recognition; How Phishers Are Slinking Their Links Into LinkedIn; and Health Sites Let Ads Track Visitors Without Telling Them.
