April 17 Episode

Dear Listener,We're back with another episode of Shared Security!In this episode, we delve into the latest privacy and cybersecurity news! The coordinated crackdown against Genesis Market, one of the world's largest criminal marketplaces, by the FBI, Dutch National Police, the UK's National Crime Agency, the Australian Federal Police, and other law enforcement agencies. We explore how the market provided personal information that enabled fraudsters to log into bank and shopping accounts, and how its arrests globally, with 24 suspected users of the site arrested in the UK, may impact the security landscape.  The misuse of Life360, a popular family safety app, by sexual predators to monitor and control their victims. We discuss how traffickers use GPS tracking and secondary apps like Life360 and social media apps like Snapchat to know where their victims are, and how this highlights the need for app developers to prioritize user privacy and safety.  The leaked footage of Tesla customers' car cameras shared by groups of Tesla employees. We examine the potential implications of such an invasion of privacy, including the risk of blackmail or stalking, and explore how Tesla can ensure its customers' privacy in the future.Listen to this episode from our website or watch on our YouTube channel.New logo!You may have also noticed that we've done a little rebranding...we hope you like the new look.Please check out our new online store!
