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. Six highlights from this week: Every Way Meta Tracks You, and How to Fight Back; AI Agents Can Be Tricked Into Stealing Your Files, Researchers; All Cars Sold in the EU Now Require a Camera Aimed at Your Face. It’s Still Not Clear Where That Data Goes; Unpatched Flaws Disclosed in Filesystem Bundled Into Millions of Embedded Devices; and Wikipedia Is Battling for the Soul of the Internet.
