Pete Recommends – Weekly highlights on cyber security issues, August 15, 2020

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: DHS acting secretary, top deputy were appointed illegally; Strengthening Privacy Protections in COVID-19 Mobile Phone–Enhanced Surveillance Programs; U.S. Postal Service Counters Trump Attacks On Mail-In Voting With A New Blockchain Patent; and Data Security & Privacy Gaps in Video Doorbells.
