During uncertain times KSQD is here to provide resources to help you protect yourselves and the community you love. Recently two of our Talk Hosts teamed up to create this show, complete with detailed notes and links to assist you in shoring up your personal cybersecurity.
Show Link: Personal Cybersecurity Under Tech Authoritarianism
In a special joint radio program, Ami Chen Mills joins Luigi Oppido, host of “The Computer Man” show to discuss the massive breaches of security at the Treasury Department and multiple, other federal departments by Elon Musk and his DOGDY team of apparently virulently racist youngsters–and how to protect our information, if we still can.
What do we do about our private information and communications now that Tech Broligarchs seem intent on gaining entry into every aspect of our lives?
Covered in this episode:
- Freezing lines of credit, due to DOGE security breaches
- Signal, Protonmail, etc.
- Google and Gmail privacy
- License plate readers and ring cams
- Can you keep your phone from being tracked?
- Can people listen in to your phone conversations or hack your phone?
- How safe are our desktop and laptop devices?
Note to Listeners: Our resources were going to include a comprehensive list of what to do about what. Due to what we felt was some urgency getting this episode, we offer what we can in the show’s notes (which turns out to be a lot, actually). We have been very busy! We will add more later. Thanks.
