Risky Business is a fantastic podcast. I’ve been listening for a while, and Patrick is a great host. He also has “Snake-Oil” episodes where he interviews various security vendors, which are always interesting, even if they are trying to sell something.
I’d additionally recommend “Smashing Security” as another infosec podcast. -
I’ve never really listened to podcasts, but I will give this a try. It will be nice to hear some experts on this subject. Thanks Andre!

Nice for sharing. Search on podcast “risky’ for risky business and the second ‘Smashing Security’.

Very concise, yet a bit of a disturbing article. Like the article stated, it was scary when one’s refrigerator was hacked, but for a very personal part of your life to be hacked hits a whole new level. The hacking stories seem to get worse and worse. When it comes to identify theft or credit cards being stolen, there is always that feeling of invasion of privacy. For this scenario, not only does it feel like an invasion of privacy, but it brings a different type of fear and possibly make someone feel embarrassed. Maybe somethings should be left off the internet.

Here we go Andres,
Another funny article that I think cause a big harm to so many people, This time, It targets people in weird situations and maybe ask them for many to prevent putting their videos on public websites. I think this company should be dragged to justice to be a good example for others that want to do the something. However, I do believe that the government should be involved to regulate selling these toys to the public.

Andres,
This is a really informative article especially for the ones who are not so technical. Ever since the Internet privacy rules have been pulled, I have been sharing with my non-technical friends about installing VPN for security purposes. I have already passed this article on to a few of them. With all the cyberattacks and Internet privacy laws being rolled back, I think it is a really good idea for everyone to install VPN. I have not done it myself yet, but I have been going back on who I should go through or have been asking others for recommendations. The article you published has great resources I will be taking a look at. Thanks for sharing!

Neat article Andres, very timely.
I found the point interesting how when Philip K. Dick wrote about this, we did not have brain imaging, and would use that now to help determine an emotional response. Dick and Asimov experimented with very interesting ideas that were ahead of their time, and it is cool to see some of the things they wrote about end up having practical modern day application.

Barcodes have been an interest in since I first noticed a “shaped” barcode on the side of my Tecate. Like Magstripes, it’s interesting to see how many times a barcode is used as a direct representation of the data that it’s next to. Especially in circumstances where the code might be scanned without verifying against the original.
If this is of interest to you, I’d recommend the following talk from Defcon 24 about Hacking Boarding Passes:

Hi Andres,
I know I am a bit late responding to your post, but this was a great read! I travel very often ( at least once a month) for either business or personal travel. I am always aware of never plugging my usb in the airports and the rental cars, but I never put any thought into my tickets and how they can be used by a hacker. I am never one to post pictures of my tickets or barcodes to the public, but definitely a good tip about not leaving your paper tickets around and how they should be shredded. Even when I try to think of all the possible ways a hacker could obtain my information, there is still always something new…thanks again!

Christie,
You raise an interesting issue in light of the news regarding Equifax.
I’ll be interested to see what punishment (if any) Equifax and its management face.
