In part two of my interview with Malwarebyte’s David Ruiz, he tells us how to avoid the scams we discussed last week. And then we move on to discuss the potentially serious privacy issues that could come from the emerging surveillance regimes, designed to help us curb the spread of the coronavirus.

David Ruiz is a content writer for Malwarebytes, covering online privacy, cybersecurity, and the laws – and proposed legislation – that regulate how data is stored, shared and accessed. He previously worked for Electronic Frontier Foundation, where he wrote and analyzed policy about NSA surveillance, encryption, and cross-border data transfer.
