Listen Later

Think your cell phone is safe from tracking? Steve reveals how global networks let anyone pinpoint your location—no hacking required and no malware involved.

  • Apple introduces a new Digital ID inside Wallet.
  • Checkout.com refuses to pay a ransom demand.
  • Google announces "Private AI Compute" in the cloud.
  • Google backpedals on their "devs must register" demand.
  • Win11 added a Passkeys API which 1Password & Bitwarden support.
  • Russia tracks SIM card appearances to thwart drone usage.
  • Google sues Chinese Phishing as a Service platform.
  • Lots of interesting listener feedback.
  • Global cellphone tracking is alive, well, malware free and a distressingly common commercial enterprise
