Where does innovation in Southeast Asia actually start? Not in a lab. In this compilation from the BRAVE archive: a lock that took eleven hours to install, a Peter Thiel put-down at Harvard, and customers using a real estate website to sell food. Anthony Chow built Igloo's first smart lock from parts bought in China, watched the first shipments fail, then invented an offline PIN lock (Google Authenticator, but for doors) because vacation rentals have no Wi-Fi. That invention won the Airbnb partnership and now runs more than half of Australia's tennis courts, fully unmanned. Kelvin Teo heard Peter Thiel tell a Harvard room that Asia doesn't need innovation, just execution ("annoying, but factually accurate") and turned it into the method behind Funding Societies, which underwrites SMEs by asking for more documents than the banks, because its real competitor is the money lender charging 48% a year. Dennis Velasco burned $150K on a broken real estate market before his users showed him the pivot, launched Prosperna three months before the 2020 lockdown, and argues that none of it counts until small businesses trust you to stay.

Grabado en vivo desde el Argentina Mobile Congress 2026 (La Rural, Buenos Aires) En este episodio especial, compartimos la charla brindada por Ariel Correateli en el escenario del AMC. Hoy, nuestros celulares no son solo dispositivos; son nuestro diario íntimo digital . Guardamos en ellos billeteras virtuales, aplicaciones bancarias, nuestra identidad y cómo nos relacionamos con el mundo . ¿Sabías que un smartphone actual tiene más potencia que el cohete que llevó al hombre a la Luna? . Pero esa potencia conlleva una gran responsabilidad, ya que el 60% del fraude a nivel mundial está orientado al celular . ¿Qué aprenderás en este episodio? La Anatomía de las Amenazas: Analizamos el Smishing (mensajes fraudulentos), el Quishing (los peligros ocultos tras un código QR malicioso) y el Vishing (la preocupante clonación de voz mediante Inteligencia Artificial para estafas) . Permisos Abusivos y Apps "Gratis": ¿Por qué una linterna te pide acceso a tus contactos o GPS? . Hablamos sobre los riesgos de descargar APKs fuera de las tiendas oficiales y el peligro de los "regalos" digitales . SIM Swapping vs. eSIM: Por qué deberías considerar migrar a una SIM virtual para evitar que intercepten tus mensajes y llamadas de validación . Higiene Digital y "Piedritas en el Camino": La importancia crítica de las actualizaciones de seguridad para cerrar "huecos" (0-days) . Por qué nunca debes usar redes Wi-Fi públicas sin protección . El fin del "Patrón" de desbloqueo: por qué necesitas claves alfanuméricas de más de 12 caracteres y biometría . Uso de Google Authenticator en lugar de SMS para el doble factor de autenticación . Plan de Emergencia: Qué hacer si te roban el equipo: bloqueo remoto, borrado de datos, alerta financiera y el uso de gestores de contraseñas como Proton Pass o Apple Passwords . Novedades de WhatsApp: Una advertencia sobre los nuevos nicknames y cómo protegerte de futuras estafas con esta funcionalidad . El consejo de Ariel: "No existe la seguridad al 100%, pero nuestro trabajo es ponerle piedras en el camino al ciberdelincuente para que, si nos atacan, se la hagamos lo más difícil posible" . Sobre el orador: Ariel Correateli es experto en ciberseguridad con más de 14 años de trayectoria en el mundo del podcasting.

Aggressive Government RegulationStates are intervening heavily in tech markets. Texas mandated app stores verify ages and restrict minor access starting January 2026, requiring parental approval for under-18 users. The Netherlands took partial control of Chinese chipmaker Nexperia to block sensitive technology transfer. The U.S. FCC forced retailers to delist millions of Chinese electronics from Huawei, ZTE, and others over security concerns.Privacy vs. Security BattlesThe EU postponed "Chat Control" legislation requiring message scanning after insufficient support - only 12 of 27 states backed it. Germany called it "taboo for the rule of law" while 40+ tech firms warned it would harm privacy. Digital activism generated massive opposition emails to lawmakers.California expanded privacy enforcement beyond tech giants, fining Tractor Supply $1.35 million for violating job applicant rights - the CPPA's largest fine. New legislation requires browsers to offer one-click tracking opt-outs by 2027.Evolving Cyber Threats"Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters" breached Salesforce via compromised third-party app, stealing 1 billion records from major companies including 5.7 million from Qantas. Researchers discovered "pixnapping" attacks on Android that bypass browser protections to steal screen data, including 2FA codes from Google Authenticator in under 30 seconds.Key ImplicationsGeopolitical tensions drive protectionist tech policies as governments prioritize security over privacy. Regulatory enforcement extends beyond major tech to all data-collecting businesses. Supply chain vulnerabilities remain critical attack vectors, with novel mobile threats challenging existing security assumptions.

Richard Campbell is out this week! Microsoft continues to make changes to Notepad as it tests 'lightweight text formatting' in Notepad. 22H2, 23H2, and 24H2 got preview updates. And Microsoft has reportedly delayed its first-party Xbox / Windows gaming handheld. WindowsTHE GREAT NOTEPAD CONTROVERSY OF 2025 Microsoft announced it was testing "lightweight text formatting" in Notepad. This is one of MANY changes its made to Notepad in recent years. The community has collectively lost its s#$t - most thought this was RTF support - it's not. Everyone is wrong. In defense of Notepad. 24H2 Last Tuesday, 22H2/23H2 got a preview update in Week D, but 24H2 did not. The 24H2 update appeared later, with a ton of new features as expected - it's possible an out-of-band update requirement is responsible for the delay. Now we know for sure what's coming on Patch Tuesday next week. Windows Insider updates Today, in Canary: Energy saver in Intune, re-rollout of Phone companion, more. Dev and Beta (24H2): Quick machine recovery, Phone Link improvements - Plus, more just in Dev. Canary: Voice access and some bug fixes. Microsoft makes more DMA changes to Windows 11/Edge We all need these changes. Apple needs to pay attention. Also, hilarious: Apple copies what Microsoft did in the 1990s. Twice. Earnings: HP Dell Nvidia Microsoft 365/AI Microsoft announces (internally) its third major AI reorg in 15 months - Too ... slow?

Good, you should use a third-party password manager anyway. Also, it's really an identity manager. Also, wake up. When/why to use Microsoft Authenticator. And why you should also use Google Authenticator. June 2025 update for the new Outlook adds tons of new features. Research and Analyst AI agents are now GA in Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can experiment with short, phone videos on your phone with Bing Video Creator. FU, OpenAI! NYT licenses its content to Amazon. Samsung may drop Gemini for Perplexity. Xbox/Gaming Microsoft has reportedly delayed its first-party Xbox/Windows gaming handheld. Xbox continues to be in a holding pattern on hardware - Theories include an Arm revolution in waiting and Amy Hood getting serious about trying to make this business profitable. Are handheld gaming PCs the next Netbook or mini-tablet ... or this is market real, sustainable, and big enough to matter? SteamDeck/Linux could be a problem here - related to this, Nvidia news. Microsoft reaches its first-ever agreement with a game studio union. Semi-related: J Allard is one of about 100 former Microsoft execs at Amazon now, and we have an update. Tips and picks Tip of the week: You can replace OneDrive/Google Drive with a NAS. My Synology NAS is better than expected as a Little Tech replacement for OneDrive and Google Drive. This changes everything App pick of the week: Microsoft Edge 137 Edge 137 has quietly emerged as the biggest release of this browser since its inception.

Richard Campbell is out this week! Microsoft continues to make changes to Notepad as it tests 'lightweight text formatting' in Notepad. 22H2, 23H2, and 24H2 got preview updates. And Microsoft has reportedly delayed its first-party Xbox / Windows gaming handheld. WindowsTHE GREAT NOTEPAD CONTROVERSY OF 2025 Microsoft announced it was testing "lightweight text formatting" in Notepad. This is one of MANY changes its made to Notepad in recent years. The community has collectively lost its s#$t - most thought this was RTF support - it's not. Everyone is wrong. In defense of Notepad. 24H2 Last Tuesday, 22H2/23H2 got a preview update in Week D, but 24H2 did not. The 24H2 update appeared later, with a ton of new features as expected - it's possible an out-of-band update requirement is responsible for the delay. Now we know for sure what's coming on Patch Tuesday next week. Windows Insider updates Today, in Canary: Energy saver in Intune, re-rollout of Phone companion, more. Dev and Beta (24H2): Quick machine recovery, Phone Link improvements - Plus, more just in Dev. Canary: Voice access and some bug fixes. Microsoft makes more DMA changes to Windows 11/Edge We all need these changes. Apple needs to pay attention. Also, hilarious: Apple copies what Microsoft did in the 1990s. Twice. Earnings: HP Dell Nvidia Microsoft 365/AI Microsoft announces (internally) its third major AI reorg in 15 months - Too ... slow? Microsoft is killing password management/autofill in the Microsoft Authenticator app (announced previously, but now a warning is showing up in the app). Good, you should use a third-party password manager anyway. Also, it's really an identity manager. Also, wake up. When/why to use Microsoft Authenticator.

With phishing and password breaches on the rise, passkeys could offer a more secure, user-friendly solution that could reshape how we protect our online identities. Today's guest is Christiaan Brand. Christiaan is the co-founder of Entersekt, a financial services security firm and a key player at Google in their security and identity teams. A respected voice in cybersecurity, Christian co-chairs the FIDO2 technical working group focusing on standardizing robust online security protocols in advancing the use of passkeys. He has been at the forefront of the shift toward more secure, password-free systems. We'll hear his insights on the challenges and opportunities of implementing passkeys to create safer online environments for users and organizations. Show Notes: [00:52] - Christiaan is part of the security team for Google accounts. He's been with Google for 9 years. Prior to that he had a startup. [01:30] - He joined the FIDO Alliance around the same time Google joined in 2013. When he joined Google, he was able to continue with the same type of work. [02:35] - Each of the big tech companies represents a portion of the market when it comes to how we interact with the web and apps. [04:06] - He became interested in security when he started thinking about what could go wrong with new technology solutions. He wanted users to be able to access their financial information in a safe and secure way. [05:06] - 2FA began gaining traction with Google in 2011. It coincided with the launch of Google Authenticator. 2FA was also used by a gaming company. [07:54] - Usability is important, that's why having an app that displays the codes was one of the first forays into making the technology more accessible. [08:34] - Passkeys allow us to move beyond passwords, leaving the extra hassle of traditional multi-factor authentication behind. [11:05] - Key fobs were one of the earlier ways to try and bring usability to security. Now the technology is being moved to smartphones. [12:33] - Passkeys are a replacement for a password manager. [13:35] - Passkeys are extremely long and asymmetric in nature. You and the site you're going to both have the passkey. [14:27] - The service will have the public part of the passkey, and you'll have the private part. Even if the public part leaks out, your passkey will still be secure. Passkeys can never be revealed to phishing sites. [15:47] - FIDO brings the second authentication step in. The service also has to identify themselves. [20:04] - Password managers try to balance security and convenience. Logging in or accessing a passkey is a unique challenge for providers. [22:20] - Phone numbers are a way to get users back into their accounts. [25:19] - Single device users have extra challenges. [26:08] - There are pros and cons to external sources of identity. [29:44] - The FIDO website has many certified solutions. [33:21] - To get passkeys into daily users' lives, we need to start using them on daily applications where we log in frequently. [35:49] - Hopefully this passkey solution will stand the test of time. [37:34] - Attacks are beginning to shift to session hijacking. [38:24] - DBSC or device-based session credentials is a new standard parallel to FIDO. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey. Be sure to subscribe to our podcast on iTunes and leave a nice review.
