On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices…

Slay Message Snoopers 45:24

There are way too many messenger apps today. It’s a sad state of affairs and I don’t see it getting better anytime soon. But the real problem (for me) is that almost all of the popular messenger apps aren’t really that secure and private. Most do not have end-to-end encryption (E2EE) at all or it’s not turned on by default. And frankly even the apps with E2EE are run by companies whose revenue model is based on monetizing your personal data. I’m going to suggest you try Signal. In other news: study finds Canadian’s health data being sold to drug makers; DOGE worker’s computer has been hacked; airlines are selling your data to ICE; a massive proxy botnet has been shut down; Google pays $1.4B to Texas over unauthorized tracking and data collection; Denver decides to stop using license plate readers of privacy concerns; jury orders NSO Group to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for hacking WhatsApp users.

Shelter from the Storm 1:16:42

1:16:42

Almost exactly two years ago, “Five Eyes” intelligence agencies discovered a successful and ongoing cyber attack on critical US infrastructure by a state-sponsored actor based in China. This group, associated with the People’s Liberation Army and known as Volt Typhoon, was tasked with quietly gaining persistent remote access to critical systems including water, power, communications, and transportation systems, as well as ports and government networks. The goal was to deter the US from interfering with a future invasion of Taiwan by China, either by crippling the US infrastructure or threatening to. Despite dire warnings from the four top cyber officials in a Jan 2024 Congressional hearing, the US is still woefully unprepared for such attacks. Josh Corman is leading an effort labeled UnDisruptable27 to greatly improve the resilience of our critical systems before 2027, the year China seems to be targeting to make their move.

As we learned last week from Zach Edwards, our smartphones have a globally unique mobile ad ID, or MAID, that is automatically associated with everything we do on our phones… unless we take explicit steps to turn this off. Today I’ll tell you how this works and why you should disable this insidious form of tracking. In other news: the FTC warns us about a new type of scam; dating app Raw exposed sensitive user data; a determined reporter documents his efforts to disable all the AI features in his Google phone; “juice jacking” is back with a tricky twist; Apple’s AirPlay has a vulnerability whose fix may not reach all devices; Microsoft is pushing hard for passwordless accounts; Google Wallet allows you to verify your age without giving up personal info; and there’s a new and troubling update to the Signalgate saga.

Riding the Data Gravy Train 1:14:22

Data brokers are out of control. While we think of them gathering data in order to target us with ads, they can actually use the targeted ad system (real-time bidding) to collect vast quantities of personal information. It’s a very shady business and the primary players are trying hard to obfuscate what they’re doing. Thankfully, we have people like my guest, Zach Edwards, whose investigations are ripping the cover off of these unscrupulous practices.

Travel Insecurity 1:05:30

Going through border security today – even just returning to your own country – is not at simple and stress-free as it should be. The likelihood of our digital devices being searched by a border agent has increased in recent years and political sensitivities today can be high. Our devices have access to a ridiculous amount of extremely personal information. How can we protect ourselves? The answers aren’t great, but I’ll give the current best advice from immigration lawyers and civil rights groups. In other news: the Apple-UK data privacy court case will be at least partially public; some companies are ignoring automated opt-out signals; Waymo may use interior car video to train its AI; data breaches at Hertz and a Planned Parenthood medical lab; air travel group paints a picture of future use of facial recognition; San Francisco police have a new surveillance center; Ukraine drones come with anti-Russian malware; judge rules that ‘cell tower dumps’ require a warrant.

It’s easy to be a Monday morning quarterback, even with cybersecurity. But defending a business, of any size, against cyber threats today is hard. Like, really hard. Defenders have to succeed every single time; attackers only need to succeed once. And then your company makes the headlines. Today we’ll delve into the world of the “blue team” – the defenders who are charged with protecting your data and the services you depend on – with cyber expert Oz Jones. Along the way, we’ll learn valuable lessons for everyone.

Differential Privacy 1:12:05

for 7 weeks siden1:12:05

1:12:05

When we collect a lot of personal data, say via the US Census, the goal is to glean important aggregate information and statistics, while somehow preserving the anonymity and privacy of the individual respondents. There’s a rigorous mathematical process for doing this – that’s actually not that hard to understand – called Differential Privacy. I’ll explain how it works. In the news: iOS has a new location privacy setting; Google confirms it’s rolling out AI to Gmail; Windows makes it much harder to avoid creating a Microsoft Account; WhatsApp is rolling out AI in Europe with no way to opt out; Switzerland is considering undermining encrypted communications; 23andMe is going bankrupt – it’s time to delete your data; France rejects a backdoor mandate; and finally, I have a lot to say about the US officials’ Signal chat debacle.

Microscoping Our Apps 1:10:56

for 8 weeks siden1:10:56

1:10:56

We’ve been installing apps on our smartphones for almost two decades now. The iPhone and Android app stores kicked off in 2008 and we still, to this day, have no real way to know what’s in them. It turns out that most apps are an amalgamation of software libraries and development kits from various third party vendors, so often even the makers of apps don’t fully understand the makeup of their products. Lisa LeVasseur from Internet Safety Labs has worked to build tools to dissect and inspect our apps and help us understand what they’re really doing.

It’s Tax (Scam) Time Again 58:32

for 9 weeks siden58:32

58:32

Tax time is once again upon us here in the USA, which means that the tax scammers are coming out of the woodwork. Many will claim to be representing the IRS, claiming that there is an urgent need to fix a problem with your return, threatening penalties if you don’t pay them money. Others will simply try to file fake returns in your name, but send the massive false refund checks to themselves. I’ll help you spot and avoid these scams. In other news: Apple’s Passwords app was vulnerable to phishing attacks (now fixed); Amazon is forcing Echo owners to share voice recordings; the Bluetooth chip “backdoor” that wasn’t; Captchas were used by Google to translate books and Street View images; ICE uses third party tool to scrape tons of your data; beware of online file converters; Clearview AI attempted to buy millions of mugshots; RCS messaging will soon allow end-to-end encrypted chats between iPhones and Android phones.

Google's Chrome browser is rolling out changes that will hamstring ad blockers - so there's never been a better time to try a better browser. There are a handful of good options, but I'm going to recommend that you try Firefox with a fantastic ad blocker called uBlock Origin. If you've never tried this powerful combination, you won't believe what you've been missing.

Onion Routing 1:13:45

for 13 weeks siden1:13:45

1:13:45

Not all Privacy Enhancing Technologies are new - but this one is probably new to you. Onion routing was developing in the 1990's by the US government and is the basis for the Tor Network. Onion routing does one thing very well: it masks your actual IP address. While you can use a VPN for this purpose, onion routing adds a different layer of anonymity - and it's just a cool technology. Today I'll explain how it works, how to use it, and the pros and cons of doing so. In other news: Bitly is leveraging its URL-shortening empire to monetize your links; a major car company is experimenting with in-car pop up ads; a cautionary tale about law enforcement's access to private phone data; Russian spies are using a clever new phishing technique to gain access to Microsoft 365 accounts; Apple pulls its Advanced Data Protection feature from the UK market in response to demands to 'backdoor' its encryption; and whatever your political beliefs, the chaos and careless changes made by the DOGE group are seriously undermining national security.

Generic security advice is good, but tailored advice is much better. Everyone's situation is a little different. What are you trying to protect? Who or what are you trying to protect it from? What are the consequences of failure? This is called threat modeling. And thankfully, the wonderful folks at Consumer Reports have a free, easy-to-use Security Planner tool that will help anyone do this assessment and provide custom solutions. My guest today is Yael Grauer, who will help us understand how to think about our security and how the CR tool can help you protect your data and devices.

Privacy is a human right - and you don't have to justify rights, you just have them. That's kinda the whole point. But you do need to exercise them and defend them sometimes. It has been leaked that the UK is telling Apple to reveal the encrypted data of every single one of their users to the UK government under the auspices of the Investigatory Powers Act (and its recent controversial Amendment). This would be a privacy and security disaster, and we were not even supposed to know about it. In other news: Netgear warns of serious router bugs (so update your firmware now); DeepSeek AI app has serious security and privacy problems, but the AI model has real promise in other ways; AngelSense personal customer data exposed; Cybercrime groups exploit 7-Zip app flaws to bypass Windows protections; some clever Mac and iOS malware making the rounds; new Android Identity Check feature released, and I introduce some Privacy Enhancing Technologies.
