Pete Recommends – Weekly highlights on cyber security issues, June 6, 2026
Privacy and cybersecurity issues impact every aspect of our lives – home, work, travel, education, finance, 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: One company may know everything about you; Fake ChatGPT download site infects Windows and Mac users with malware; Hackers Used Meta’s AI Support Bot to Seize Instagram Accounts; Apple Is Officially Coming for Meta’s Privacy-Invading Lunch With Its Own Smart Glasses in Late 2027; and FBI Tracks ‘Anti-Tech Extremism’ Amid Growing AI Backlash.
