Pete Recommends – Weekly highlights on cyber security issues August 17, 2019

Privacy and security issues impact every aspect of our lives – home, work, travel, education, health and medical records – to name but a few. On a weekly basis Pete Weiss highlights articles and information that focus on the increasingly complex and wide ranging ways technology is used to compromise and diminish our privacy and security, often without our situational awareness. Four highlights from this week: More than 1 million people had their fingerprint data exposed by a huge security hole; IRS Security Summit Series for Tax Professionals: Create a Data Theft Recovery Plan; Hackers Can Turn Everyday Speakers Into Acoustic Cyberweapons; and Facial Recognition Software Prompts Privacy, Racism Concerns in Cities and States.
