@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

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

I can no longer read TechCrunch, the company I founded, because I use an adblocker to stop malware. Sigh.

"Surveillance scoring" is a commonly used computer algorithm practice that can cause some customers to be charged more for products &/or be used to deny housing/employment. @dellcam says experts are calling this behavior illegal & are fighting to end it: gizmodo.com/the-surveillan…
