The FTC’s Complaint Against Ring, Detecting Malware Infected Apps, America’s Most Cybersecure Companies

The FTC charged Ring, the Amazon-owned home security camera company, for compromising customer privacy and having inadequate security measures. Employees accessed private videos, while hackers exploited vulnerabilities and now Ring needs to reimburse customers $5.8 million dollars. The FTC complaint emphasizes that Ring’s actions disregarded privacy and security, putting consumers at risk. Google has removed the iRecorder – Screen Recorder app from the Play Store after it was discovered that it was infected with malware capable of stealing personal information. We discuss several ways to spot malicious apps on your smartphone helping you protect and safeguard your personal information. Finally, we discuss Forbes’ collaboration with SecurityScorecard to identify America’s Most Cybersecure Companies, and the ethical dilemma that this presents to companies that may not have given their permission to be listed. We also discuss why these lists may make companies a target by hackers (anyone remember the “Hacker Safe” badges?). ** Links mentioned on the show * Become an official supporter of the podcast!
