We have the most entertaining round up of privacy and security stories making this the best week yet! From a rapper scamming the system to an alarming number of stories covering the security and privacy of our children, hackers giving back to charity, to a final word from POTUS that has roughly half of the population up in arms.

In between we share US election communications that you will want to avoid, a RAT infested travel app that you’ll never need to download and how to make your phone a little bit safer.

Enjoy this week’s roundup of stories!

This week we start with an Orca reporting on a bunch of appliances and we end with a story about birds. In between the two extremes we have cars, drive-bys, cruises, trickbots, bricked phones and backdoors. Truly colorful content.

We help you stay safe with tips on everything from shopping to conferencing and while the tone is light, the results are serious.

Have a great listen!

Fed up with your Android location based unlock? We can help you fix it for a while. We cover the curious outage of a large swathe of the US’s 911 emergency services (the equivalent of 999 in the UK… or is it “0118 999 881 999 119 725 3”?) and even a coffee maker hit with ransomware.

We hope you enjoy this week’s privacy and security related news stories , and that they help you stay on point, on guard and informed.

This week we start underground in a Tesla and end with a boat crash, but what you find in between those two modes of transport is crazy interesting.

We have a cautionary tale involving an Australian Prime minister, Fuzzing as a Service, a leaky elastic Microsoft Bing search server, a snowflake, a credit card, and Russia putting the clamp on secure protocols.

There’s no better way to get your Privacy and Security updates than here, so have a seat, buckle up and enjoy the journey!
