Pete Recommends – Weekly highlights on cyber security issues, November 28, 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: Microsoft productivity score feature criticised as workplace surveillance; Attackers Dupe GoDaddy Into Abetting Cryptocurrency Site Takedowns; Amazon faces backlash over using Sidewalk for neighborhood networks; and Avril Haines nominated as first female director of national intelligence.
