Published 3 years, 2 months ago
Description
- On a special cybersecurity edition of Tech It Out, we’re joined by Digital Forensics Corporation’s Ken Kuglin, to chat about ‘sextortion’ and how fraudsters threaten to reveal your intimate photos and videos (even if you’ve never shared any)
- Bitwarden’s Gary Orenstein also joins us on Tech It Out to discuss why it’s not that big of a deal if Twitter is dropping its free ‘multifaction authentication’ via SMS (text message). There are better ways to prove it’s really you – and they’re free, too.
- Another cybersecurity guest is Michael Castro, Founder & CEO of RiskAware. We chat about ‘grandparent scams,’ and other ways to protect yourself (and loved ones) during Fraud Prevention Month in March
- Speaking of security, I also talk about Visa’s multibillion dollar anti-fraud efforts during this week’s show
- Thank you to ASUS, for those in search of incredible, and Western Digital for its reliable external drives. Both companies are awesome sponsors of the syndicated Tech It Out radio show and podcast.
