Our world
is an ever widening set of connections, growing in complexity and diversity every
day. With each new type of connection comes
the potential for hacking. Every
new Internet of things (IoT) device comes with the potential for loss of privacy.
With each new type of counter-surveillance comes the potential for abuse from the
government and criminals as well. Most of the technology we have invented
sprang from an idea of how to make things easier, more user-friendly, and more useful
to the average person. This approach often neglects the necessary safeguards
needed to protect unsophisticated users from very intelligent and sophisticated
criminals bent on taking advantage of the loopholes present in technology that
has been rushed to market. In this episode of Working the Web to Win, we will cover
the current state of US internet privacy and security, so that every consumer will
be prepared for the onslaught of loss of privacy that is coming. So read on and
learn how to protect yourself in the current era of Internet insecurity.
