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: Cybersecurity firms targeted by fraudulent OpenAI organization invites; Polestar says Commerce Department is banning US sales of its cars; Google Loses Final Appeal Over €4.1B EU Android Fine; US tech dependence: A risk report for European businesses; PrivacyHawk Enterprise helps organizations find shadow IT and minimize third-party cyber risk; and FBI Seizes NetNut Proxy Platform, PopaBotnet.
