@PrincetonCITP @kvn_l33 @bkaiser93 @jonathanmayer @FCC @CTIA @TMobile Until the carriers fix these problems, you’re at risk of a SIM swap. But you can protect yourself right now. Take a few minutes to check all your online accounts. Make sure 2-factor authentication is enabled, and it’s a secure option such as an authenticator app, and not SMS.

"SIM swap" attacks have been in the news for years. They’ve enabled serious financial crimes and even a hack of the Twitter CEO's account. We spent 6 months researching how vulnerable wireless accounts are to these attacks. Our draft study is out today. issms2fasecure.com

Just ordered a couple 1TB thumb drives for $30 each. I still find myself awestruck by tech progress -- I desperately wanted a 10MB hard drive for my IIGS as a teen, but didn't have the $399. One million times cheaper per byte, one thousand times faster, and 100 times smaller now.

“Contractors who asked managers whether they could skip overly private clips were told no clips were too private. They were expected to transcribe anything that came in.” 😬 #Alexa #privacy #surveillance @alexa99 x.com/SpeechlyAPI/st…

@SpeechlyAPI how is your platform from a privacy standpoint? I’m interested in something like this and liked the privacy aspects of @snips before they were bought out and closed their platform. Not looking for a surveillance voice assistant like Alexa.

@snips I was looking forward to playing with your platform, but apparently that’s no longer an option. Really lame.

Which means this famous Slashdot comment on the iPod is also 18 years old: “No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.” slashdot.org/story/01/10/23…

New: Driven by fears of school shootings, public schools are now paying tech companies to monitor everything students write in school emails or type in shared documents. School officials say they respond “within minutes” to what students have written: theguardian.com/world/2019/oct…

I just asked Siri about the elevation of a specific town in Hawaii (Waikoloa, which is miles inland, & up the mountain) and she for some reason answered with the elevation for the entire state of Hawaii. Which she claimed was at 3,035 ft. Above sea level. 🏝🤔 #Hawaii @Apple
