This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! You've heard it before: “This item spoke to me,” they say—right before the china set starts flying off the walls. Welcome to the New England Society for Paranormal Research's museum, once owned by Ed and Lorraine Warren, where the world's most notorious haunted objects live behind glass… and binding prayers. From the infamous Annabelle doll (yes, she's still grinning) to relics so evil they'd ghost your ex without warning, each item has a story that will make you think twice before scoring that vintage lamp on eBay. Join us as Eric Vitale guides us through the creepiest corners of the Warren collection, revealing where each artifact came from, what it did (and might still be doing), and how many blessing—er, “band-aids for the soul”—it takes to keep them contained. Bring a flashlight, say a prayer, and maybe leave your precious tchotchkes at home—some things really shouldn't come with a home warranty.

How we navigate the new political environment the voters thrust upon on, and the new regime that seeks to tear up the very foundations of our liberal society, is a matter of ethics. And ethics is bigger than just political questions. It's about how you live, what you aspire to, and what makes for an admirable life, both inside and outside of politics.My guest today has written an important book about just that. Seth Zuihō Segall is a clinical psychologist who served for nearly three decades as an Assistant Clinical Professor at the Yale School of Medicine and is a former Director of Psychology at Waterbury Hospital and a former President of the New England Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation. He is also a Zen Buddhist priest, and if you're a regular listener to ReImagining Liberty, you'll know how much I think Buddhist philosophy contains insights of great value in understanding our current moment.Segall's newest book is The House We Live In, which explores the crises imperiling American democracy and argues that progress depends on our arriving at a new consensus on what it means to be a good person and lead a good life and re-imagines an ethics suitable for our time.Discuss this episode with the host and your fellow listeners in the ReImagining Liberty Reddit community: https://www.reddit.com/r/ReImaginingLiberty/ If you enjoy ReImagining Liberty and want to listen to episodes free of ads and sponsorships, become a supporter.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE When Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated the Conjuring house, it struck Ed as such an infested location that he joked, “If they ever make a move about our work, it should be about this house.” Many years later, and after Ed's passing, that comment became a reality.

But just as with a playground, the danger exists if things are not done correctly. Today, we hear the story of a recent investigation from Eric Vitale, a member of the team founded by Ed & Lorraine Warren, the New England Society for Paranormal Research.

Ed and Lorraine Warren founded the New England Society for Psychic Research in 1952, making it the oldest ghost hunting group in New England.  Over they years many of their cases have inspired the horror movies that have captivated audiences for decades, from  the Amityville Horror to Annabelle and the Conjuring series.  Take a listen and learn the story behind their relationship and how they became involved with the Annabelle doll that still resides in their museum even after their deaths.

Join Kyle and Ardon as they conclude their two part series on two of the most prolific paranormal investigators of all time; Ed and Lorraine Warren! When we left off last week, Ed and Lorraine had done something that would make them stand out - In 1952, they founded the New England Society for Psychic Research Headquarters or NESPR. An organization dedicated to helping people who are tormented by paranormal events. With this organization they would document, photograph, audio, and video record many of the cases they investigated. This very quickly, as some of us know, snowballed into one of the most fascinating collections of paranormal research. Tonight we will discuss their investigative careers, their legacy, impact, skeptics, scandal, and so much more.  Hold on to your asses, because things are about to get backwards! https://linktr.ee/backasswardspod

Ed i Lorraine Warrenowie to bodaj najsłynniejsza para badaczy zjawisk paranormalnych na świecie. Założyli New England Society for Psychic Research, w ramach którego przez kolejne lata brali udział w wielu głośnych sprawach związanych z przypadkami nawiedzonych miejsc czy opętań. Nakręcona przez Jamesa Wana „Obecność” doprowadziła do eksplozji zainteresowania działalnością tej nietypowej pary. Wielu fanów kina zastanawia się, ile faktów znajdziemy w horrorach opartych na „aktach Warrenów”, a więc na kanwie potencjalnie „prawdziwych wydarzeń”. I właśnie na to pytanie postaramy się odpowiedzieć. Dzisiejsze nagranie jest zapisem naszej prelekcji wygłoszonej na Kapitularzu 2023. Wersja filmowa zawiera prezentację slajdów, którą wyświetlaliśmy podczas prelekcji.

Jews are an important part of the history of the United States, and their contribution stretches across many different fields like cinema, politics and of course - the bagel. But a little less known aspect of Jewish history in America, is the role Jews played in wars, and in particular - the civil war, and even the Independence war. When the Civil War broke there were about 150,000 Jews in America. 125,000 of them lived in the Union States and supported Lincoln. As for the rest of them, 25,000 Jews - they were part of the Confederacy, and some of them even fought for the Rebels. To shed some light on this fascinating aspect of American Jewish history, we have on the show today the author Chaim Rosenberg, who wrote a new book called Shield of David: A History of Jewish Serviceman in America's Armed Forces. Chaim Rosenberg has written fifteen books focused largely on the role of the individual in shaping American greatness. Rosenberg's books focus on the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, child labor in America, and the Loyalists in the American Revolutionary War.

Dr. Stephanie Kriesberg is a licensed psychologist in private practice in Concord, MA. Dr. Kriesberg has nearly thirty years of experience in clinical practice and specializes in the treatment of daughters of narcissistic mothers. She also specializes in the treatment of teens and adults with anxiety disorders. Dr. Kriesberg is the President-Elect of the New England Society of Clinical Hypnosis. She has been quoted in national publications for her expertise on narcissism. Listen to this insightful Whinypaluza episode with Dr. Stephanie Kriesberg about her work in helping daughters of narcissistic mothers overcome the tendency to be overly self-critical. Here is what to expect on this week's show: What is Narcissism? What are the different types of narcissistic personalities? Narcissistic mothers can set people up for a very critical internal voice Stephanie's mission to help these women change the voices in their head Daughters of narcissistic mothers are often made to live the lives their mothers want, regardless of their own wants and needs. Covert narcissists need to live vicariously through their daughters. Oftentimes these daughters of narcissists feel to blame for the relationship they have with their mothers. The critical voice that there is something wrong with them is incessant. The process of educating yourself about how narcissists work and think is the first step to overcoming the challenges you face. Learning to identify emotions and feelings, and allowing yourself the room to express them is the next step. Another skill that needs to be learned is self-compassion. Practice speaking kindly to yourself. How to do better when YOU become a mother. Setting boundaries with your mother and your children.   Links Mentioned: Book:  Adult Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers: Quiet the Critical Voice in Your Head, Heal Self-Doubt, and Live the Life You Deserve [New Harbinger November 2022] Connect with Dr. Kriesberg: Website drstephaniekriesberg.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/drstephaniekriesberg/ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-kriesberg-63612598/  Follow Rebecca Greene Blog  https://www.whinypaluza.com/ Book  https://bit.ly/WhinypaluzaBook Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/whinypaluzaparenting Instagram https://www.instagram.com/becgreene5/ @becgreene5 TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@whinypaluzamom?lang=en @whinypaluzamom Learn more about your ad choices.

We wrześniu 2022 roku, w Klubie Audioteki, wystartował podcast „Akta grozy: Warrenowie”. Było to rozwinięcie koncepcji naszych prelekcji o faktach i mitach w horrorach opartych na kanwie prawdziwych wydarzeń, które prezentowaliśmy na Coperniconie i Pyrkonie. Była to też realizacja planu, który chodził za nami od dawna, czyli zaprezentowania spraw Eda i Lorraine Warrenów, najsłynniejszej, amerykańskiej pary demonologów. On przedstawiał się jako demonolog i jedyny, uznawany przez Kościół świecki egzorcysta, ona była uznawana za medium. Wspólnie założyli w latach 50-tych New England Society for Psychic Research, w ramach którego przez kolejne lata brali udział w wielu głośnych sprawach związanych z przypadkami nawiedzonych miejsc czy opętań. Właśnie na wydarzeniach z Amityville, Enfield, czy Connecticut koncentrowały się poszczególne odcinki podcastu tworzonego przez Szymona „Szymasa” Cieślińskiego, Huberta „Mando” Spandowskiego i Michał „Jerry'ego” Rakowicza. Dziś postanowiliśmy powrócić do tematu i opowiedzieć o procesie powstania „Akt grozy”. Dyskutujemy o problemach, na które trafiliśmy w trakcie researchu, o tym dlaczego (potencjalna) zapowiedź „Obecności 4” nie będzie napawała nas tym samym entuzjazmem co jeszcze kilka miesięcy temu, zdradzamy czy wszystkie odcinki, które można było usłyszeć zostały nagrane dokładnie w takiej formie i w końcu opowiadamy o tym jak wspominamy naszą przygodę z Warrenami? O tym wszystkim i wielu innych kwestiach posłuchacie w dzisiejszym odcinku. A jeżeli mieliście okazję „Akt grozy” posłuchać to mamy nadzieję, że podzieliście się z nami swoimi refleksjami. Podcastu „Akta grozy: Warrenowie” posłuchacie w aplikacji Audioteki, a pierwszy odcinek jest również udostępniony na ich kanale YouTube.

Trauma is a part of life.You or someone you care about has probably experienced trauma, whether “big-T” trauma, such as emotional, physical, or sexual abuse or the more common but no less significant “little-t” trauma that can result from divorce, job loss, painful childhood experiences, or any situation where you felt worthless, afraid, or powerless. Untreated trauma can lead to long-lasting effects such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and difficulties maintaining intimate relationships. But the good news is that we can heal—and it doesn't have to take a lifetime. EMDR (which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a unique type of psychotherapy proven to help people recover from trauma and improve the quality of their lives. Through compelling science, personal stories, and powerful photographic images, we learn how trauma is stored in the brain and body, continuing to cause pain and suffering, and how EMDR frees us by repatterning our thinking and emotional reactions. In her new book, Every Memory Deserves Respect: EMDR, The Proven Trauma Therapy with the Power to Heal, Trauma therapist and EMDR pioneer Deborah Korn, PsyD discusses trauma and demystifies EMDR. Deborah Korn, PsyD, is a licensed clinical psychologist, maintains a private practice in Cambridge, MA, and an adjunct training faculty member at the Trauma Research Foundation in Boston. She has been on the faculty of the EMDR Institute for the past 28 years, is the former Clinical Director of the Women's Trauma Programs at Charter Brookside and Charles River Hospitals, and is a past board member of the New England Society for the Treatment of Trauma and Dissociation (NESTTD).

TRIGÉSIMO QUARTO EPISÓDIO DO AGENTES DO TAROT! Convidado especial: Naê (@naedellaparma) Ed e Lorraine Warren foram investigadores de fenômenos paranormais e autores associados com casos de destaque de assombração. Edward foi um veterano da Marinha na Segunda Guerra Mundial e ex-oficial de polícia que tornou-se um autodidata, especialista em demonologia, autor e conferencista. Sua esposa Lorraine era uma clarividente e médium de transe leve que trabalhou com o marido. Em 1952, os Warren fundaram a New England Society for Psychic Research (N.E.S.P.R.), o mais antigo grupo de caça-fantasmas na Nova Inglaterra.] Eles escreveram vários livros sobre o paranormal e sobre suas investigações privadas em vários relatos de atividade paranormal. Eles alegaram ter investigado mais de 10.000 casos durante sua carreira. No episódio dessa semana, trouxemos um dos casos do Casal Warren: O caso chamado de "O demônio me fez fazer" que é conhecido por ser o primeiro crime onde a defesa do acusado alegou possessão demoníaca para tentar livrá-lo de uma sentença longa. Em 24 de novembro de 1981, em Brookfield, Connecticut, Arne Cheyenne Johnson foi condenado por homicídio culposo pelo assassinato de seu senhorio, Alan Bono.

On Oct. 21, Netflix debuts 28 Days Haunted, its first paranormal investigative show, co-hosted by Talking Strange host Aaron Sagers — also seen on Travel Channel's Paranormal Caught on Camera — and Tony Spera, director of the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR) and the son-in-law of famed ghost hunters Ed & Lorraine Warren. In the series, three teams of paranormal investigators are embedded in three separate allegedly haunted locations for 28 days straight. Together, Aaron and Tony monitor the activity as it escalates. The show 28 Days Haunted is inspired by the works of the Warrens, but stands on its own as an investigative program. This podcast episode is recorded from the living room of the Warrens home (and near the Warren Occult Museum, housing the infamous Annabelle Doll), where Tony Spera joins Aaron to discuss his personal backstory with Ed and Lorraine, and he opens up about his own paranormal experiences. He also talks about his Seekers of the Supernatural Paranormal Convention, taking place Oct. 29, 2022 at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut.

The world doesn't seem to be letting up in the level of craziness we're all experiencing. In the spirit of providing at least a tiny bit of relief and hope this week I'm republishing this series I did with these amazing guests on the topic of “Managing in The Midst of The Pandemic.Today my guest is the incomparable Janina Fisher, PhD.This is the third in the series, Managing in The Midst of COVID-19, (listen to Bruce Perry here and Peter Levine here).When I reached out to the Trauma Therapist | 2.0 community to ask them who they'd like to hear from for this series, Janina's name (not surprisingly) came up.I've been fortunate to have been trained by Janina during my Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Level 1 and Level 2 training, and be a member of one of her consultation groups. Her knowledge of trauma is inspiring and her humor is non-stop. She's incredible.Janina Fisher, PhD, is a licensed Clinical Psychologist and Instructor at the Trauma Center, an outpatient clinic and research center founded by Bessel van der Kolk.Known for her expertise as both a therapist and consultant, she is also past president of the New England Society for the Treatment of Trauma and Dissociation, an EMDR International Association Credit Provider, a faculty member of the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute, and a former Instructor, Harvard Medical School.Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors, Dr. Fisher has been an invited speaker at the Cape Cod Institute, Harvard Medical School Conference Series, the EMDR International Association Annual Conference, University of Wisconsin, University of Westminster in London, the Psychotraumatology Institute of Europe, and the Esalen Institute. Dr. Fisher lectures and teaches nationally and internationally on topics related to the integration of research and treatment and how to introduce these newer trauma treatment paradigms in traditional therapeutic approaches.In This EpisodeJanina's WebsiteHealing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors, Janina Fisher, PhDThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5739761/advertisement

In this episode, Janina discusses her career in learning, treating, and teaching about PTSD and Complex PTSD. She discusses being inspired when hearing Judith Herman talk about how that the events in one's life shape our experiences, as opposed to just being driven by childhood sexual fantasies as was the main viewpoint based on Freud's work. She explained how the prevailing thought in treating trauma for decades has been that the client needed to tell the story of the trauma, but we have no research that proves that view. Instead, she proposes that the way to treat trauma is to change one's relationship to the symptoms, rather than re-live the event. She discussed her experience working with Bessel Van Der Kolk, and how he encouraged her to teach about working with PTSD. Additionally, he encouraged all of his clinicians to be trained in a Somatic approach, which lead her to Sensorimotor Psychotherapy training and to EMDR. She discussed her work and how she helps clients to engage their frontal lobes, the thinking brain, and works with clients as fragmented, incorporating Internal Family Systems and working from a Structural Dissociation perspective. We discussed how she treats suicidality in trauma clients as a part trying to protect the client from being overwhelmed by vulnerability. She discussed how her model, Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) is an integrative approach, incorporating parts work, EMDR, somatic, and Structural Dissociation, and she is training others in her model throughout the world. Finally, we discussed the clients' experience in therapy and working with them where they are, as the client who has experienced trauma may not be able to “trust” the therapist enough to try something new. Janina Fisher, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist and a former instructor at the Harvard Medical School and former instructor at The Trauma Center, a research and treatment center founded by Bessel van der Kolk. She is known as an expert on the treatment of trauma, and has also been treating individuals, couples and families since 1980. She is past president of the New England Society for the Treatment of Trauma and Dissociation, an EMDR International Association Credit Provider, and Assistant Educational Director of the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute. Janina lectures and teaches nationally and internationally on topics related to the integration of the neurobiological research and newer trauma treatment paradigms into traditional therapeutic modalities. Janina is the author of Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Overcoming Self-Alienation (2017), Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma: a Workbook for Survivors and Therapists (2021), and The Living Legacy Instructional Flip Chart (2022).

Ed & Lorraine Warren made a life out of investigating the paranormal and helping people escape from the dark. Part of that process sometimes involved removing haunted objects from people's homes and keeping them safe in what would become known as the Warrens Occult Museum. For the first time in history, a professional paranormal investigation was conducted by the New England Society for Psychic Research in the museum, today we discuss their findings and the spirits that came through with Eric Vitale. PART 2 - AVAILABLE TO GRAVE KEEPERS ONLY - LISTEN HERE In part two of our interview, available only to Grave Keepers, we discuss: What prevents Annabelle from teleporting out of its case today? What happened with Ed & Lorraine's pets the night of their investigation? What is the story behind “The Devil Made Me Do It”? Are there any objects in Ed & Lorraine Warrens's occult museum scarier than Annabelle?

https://anchor.fm/beyond-the-edge/subscribe Edward Warren Miney (September 7, 1926 – August 23, 2006)and Lorraine Rita Warren (née Moran; January 31, 1927 – April 18, 2019) were American paranormal investigators and authors associated with prominent cases of alleged hauntings. Edward was a self-taught and self-professed demonologist, author, and lecturer. Lorraine professed to be clairvoyant and a light trance medium who worked closely with her husband. In 1952, the Warrens founded the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR), the oldest ghost hunting group in New England. They authored many books about the paranormal and about their private investigations into various reports of paranormal activity. They claimed to have investigated well over 10,000 cases during their career. The Warrens were among the first investigators in the Amityville haunting. According to the Warrens, the official website of the NESPR, Viviglam Magazine and several other sources, the NESPR uses a variety of individuals, including medical doctors, researchers, police officers, nurses, college students, and members of the clergy in its investigations. Stories of ghost hauntings popularized by the Warrens have been adapted as or have indirectly inspired dozens of films, television series, and documentaries, including several films in the Amityville Horror series and the films in The Conjuring Universe.

Can a person who is possessed in life appear to be a demon on the other side? By living with an Aunt who practiced Santeria in the house where Dan Rivera grew up, he knew that spirits are real. That spirits have power. Also, the living can interact and influence the direction of both good and evil spirits. As Dan grew older, he knew he wanted to use his knowledge and gifts to help those afflicted by ghosts. He has done so by following in the steps of Ed and Lorraine Warren as the lead investigator of the New England Society for Paranormal Research. Today we discuss demons, possessions, and the state of the world and the seemingly dark path that we've been on and how to protect ourselves from falling victim to the demonic. PART 2 - AVAILABLE TO GRAVE KEEPERS ONLY - LISTEN HERE In part two of our interview, available only to Grave Keepers, we discuss: How are you able to determine if a spirit is just a dark earthbound spirit or something demonic? Can a person who is possessed in life appear to be a demon on the other side? Demons that pretend to be something else, how often is an earthbound spirit something darker in disguise? Oppression and Possession, what are some of the key differences? How can someone identify if the Oppression is being caused by a demonic force and not something that can be identified and fixed through medicine?

Today, we hear the story of a recent investigation from Eric Vitale, a member of the team founded by Ed & Lorraine Warren, the New England Society for Paranormal Research.  When Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated the Conjuring house, it struck Ed as such an infested location that he joked, “if they ever make a move about our work, it should be about this house.” Many years later, and after Ed's passing, that comment became a reality. A reality that has sparked numerous movies, books, and investigations into a house that, in some ways, feels like a paranormal playground for investigators. But just as with a playground, the danger exists if things are not done correctly. Today, we hear the story of a recent investigation from Eric Vitale, a member of the team founded by Ed & Lorraine Warren, the New England Society for Paranormal Research. PART 2 - AVAILABLE TO GRAVE KEEPERS ONLY In part two of our interview, available only to Grave Keepers, we discuss: When Eric heard disembodied voices – are others hearing them too? Why was there so much death on the property of the Conjuring house? Why are certain areas of the house more active than others? Did you have any fear of something following you home from the house?

By living with an Aunt who practiced Santeria in the house where Dan Rivera grew up, he knew that spirits are real. That spirits have power. Also, the living can interact and influence the direction of both good and evil spirits. As Dan grew older, he knew he wanted to use his knowledge and gifts to help those afflicted by ghosts. He has done so by following in the steps of Ed and Lorraine Warren as the lead investigator of the New England Society for Paranormal Research. Today we discuss demons, possessions, and the state of the world and the seemingly dark path that we've been on and how to protect ourselves from falling victim to the demonic. PART 2 - AVAILABLE TO GRAVE KEEPERS ONLY - LISTEN HERE In part two of our interview, available only to Grave Keepers, we discuss: How are you able to determine if a spirit is just a dark earthbound spirit or something demonic? Can a person who is possessed in life appear to be a demon on the other side? Demons that pretend to be something else, how often is an earthbound spirit something darker in disguise? Oppression and Possession, what are some of the key differences? How can someone identify if the Oppression is being caused by a demonic force and not something that can be identified and fixed through medicine?

Tom welcomes Chris Powell, Secretary, and Treasurer of GATA, the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, to the show. Chris explains the reasons why gold is manipulated since governments want to control and monopolize currencies. Gold is an independent global reserve system, and it acts as a competitor to government monetary issuance. Central Banks for the past half-century have strived to control the gold price. Control of gold means the power to handle all the values of capital, goods, and services worldwide. Gold swaps and leasing have enabled central banks to create a vast imaginary supply of gold. Most of the "gold" the investment community owns either doesn't exist or is oversubscribed. If the market understood central banker actions in the gold market, the valuations would have to change. The question is, who owns the gold and how much do they have? Chris discusses a commodity hearing with Jeff Christian where he estimated the leverage in the gold market was nearly 100 to 1. India estimated the leverage at 92 to 1. This ratio indicates that there are numerous paper claims to that metal for every ounce in a vault. He explains the closing of the gold window in 1971 and possible intents for creating gold futures markets. That intention being to scare investors away from gold. Most large countries understand the scheme, but most investors remain unaware. Much of the world is not thrilled with the US dollar system since it controls most value today and is the primary driver for US imperialism worldwide. Chris outlines the various uses for silver and why it's also an industrial metal. Silver could become the kryptonite to central bankers and governments because it’s widely held. He argues that gold price suppression is used to control interest rates. Ordinarily, there are inverse relationships between rates and gold, and in the past, the gold carry trade acted as just such a mechanism of yield curve control.

"In 1947, three supervisors all turned up missing one afternoon. They were found unconscious and locked in a small boiler room in the southeastern part of the plant. None of them could explain exactly what had happened to them. But all three agreed they’d been approached by a man they didn’t know shortly before they blacked out. A man whose skin appeared badly burned and who angrily shouted at them “to push some steel.” What if your workplace was haunted? What if the ghost haunting your work was a former boss and he meant you harm? That is the story Dan weaves in his first half of episode 82. Dan takes us to Alabama to hear the story of the supposedly haunted Sloss Furnaces factory and their most famous resident ghost, James "Slag" Wormwood. For the second story of the first half of the show, Dan takes us over to Rhode Island to hear the story of a young woman so riddled with guilt to keeps trying to contact the dead to gain forgiveness. This particular story was reported to Ed and Lorraine Warren's New England Society for Psychic Research, back in the late '50s. When two young friends experience a tragedy while playing on the jungle gym, one of the friends dies. As the years go by, who is haunted? Is it the friend who is living, dealing with the guilt, or is the deceased always trying to reach out?  Going for a whole new fan base, Lynze tells a tale submitted by an LDS listener. While on a mission in Mexico, does this elder come into contact with a spirit while witnessing a possible possession?  If so, could it be that this spirit has taken up residency with the elders who witnessed its banishment? Stay till the end for an interesting detail as told by another elder. Moving from Mexico to the middle of nowhere suburbia, Lynze transports us to a haunted station. When a young man is working the graveyard shift at the local radio station, of course, he invites his friends to come hang out. One of his friends wants to practice his musical talents and records his jam session. When he plays back the track to bathe in his greatness, he hears a lot more than just his rendition of "Tom Sawyer".  Live Show Announcement! Quick LIVE show reminder.

Coming up we're going to talk about Google's new replacement for cookies, and a little bit about what Teslas' been up to. I don't like this. I have never been a fan of Android phones, and you know why I haven't been a fan? The biggest problem with Android phones is the lack of security updates. That really does concern me a lot. Google also has not been the best when it comes to the Playstore and making sure that everything on the store is actually safe. Here is some very promising news for people who like the Android platform or maybe dislike the Apple platform for one reason or another. Frankly, there's a lot of reasons there too. Samsung has always been the leader when it comes to keeping their number one phones updated in the past. I've always said, make sure you can get updates. Samsung with its Galaxy phones has been good for about two years. They provide you with the security updates you need with some patches. Even if Google comes out with a patch, most of the phones out there that are running Android, do not get the updates. Ever. Some of these phones are older, they don't bother supporting them. Some manufacturers drop support within months after you buy the phone. Samsung has been good for about two years. So my rule of thumb has always been, if you're going to buy Android, if you gotta do it. Stick with Samsung and stick with their number one model. It is now promising four years of security updates for more than 130 Galaxy phones. That's pretty big when you consider that frankly, Android phones have been the butt of many a joke over the years. Samsung is working pretty hard to make sure that they are really able to deliver for the Galaxy owners. Now, this is cool because Samsung just early, I think, this year it was that the Samsung promise that most new Galaxy phones would be getting about three generations of Android version updates. Now, that amounts to a few years, as a rule, the generations in the Android world are pretty much about a year. Google has been providing updates for its own phone that it has. They provided to these other companies, like Samsung, to then take it and modify it to fit what they want and then they provide it to you. So, three generations are good. Now, they have said four years of security updates. Now, that's a pretty impressive promise. What they're trying to do is compete with Apple that has historically provided about five years of support. There's a big difference, obviously between two years and five years, but there isn't as much of a difference between four years' worth of security updates, and the five, six, seven years that Apple has been doing depending on what kind of security updates. That's very impressive. Of course, Samsung just a year ago wasn't guaranteeing anything in terms of updates. Most new phone purchases were good for a year or two of updates, but only the Pixel, which is made by Google and Android. One base phones were on the record about how long you could be getting updates from the manufacturer. Now Samsung is doing one better than Google. Remember, Google is the guy that actually provides the Android operating system. Google's only guaranteed three years of version and security updates for Pixel phones and that's not very many phones. Frankly, Google Pixel is not been selling well. It's the standard that all of the Android manufacturers use in order to have a kind of proof of concept. So this is what it should look like. This just should be how it acts. I'm looking at this list here. This thing is huge of all of these phones from Samsung that is going to be supported, here. You've got the Galaxy foldable devices. The whole family of folds. The Galaxy S series and starts at the  S 10 plus moving on to the S 20, S 25 G, S 20 plus blah, blah, blah. A bunch of different S 20 models and the S 21. That's pretty darn good. That's a lot of phones. Also, the Galaxy Note series, starting at the Note 10, all the way up to the current Note, 20 ultra-five GS the Galaxy AA series. Again, certainly, the 10 going up to eight 45, the Galaxy AMS, the up through the Galaxy X covers series and again tab series, which has been pretty popular for a lot of people. If you're thinking about picking up one of your Android phones here soon, maybe you should give a second thought to the Galaxy. Now, they're guaranteeing that they're going to provide these security updates for you for four years. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, a guarantee we'll see how long that lasts. The other problem is how quickly are they going to get it out? You'll see Apple devices, who just this week they had a security patch, they pushed it out and they expect to see 70, 80% of all of the phones with that security patch installed within a week. That's your Apple iPhones. Google comes out with a security patch. They push it out. It has to go to the vendors like Samsung and then the vendor like Samsung has to take that add the device drivers that need for all of these models. Think about that for a minute. That's a lot of device drivers. That's a lot of different models. I think it's going to take them a while to do that and then they'll get it to you. That security update that comes from Google, we've seen takes six months in the past before it gets on to your phone. If you're looking at. Security, if that's a real concern of yours and sure should be particularly after this disaster of a company called Microsoft and their windows products. Particularly now this Microsoft exchange server bug. I'm so upset with Microsoft, but you know what? We'll get into that a little bit later. The Samsung, the galaxies, the Google Androids are not designed for all of the safety and security that you really do need, frankly. When you think about the models were talking about 130 models that Samsung is going to be providing new updates for. Okay. When we look at Apple and the iPhone models let me see how many iPhone models are there out there. I'm going to Google that right now, even as we're talking. So 2007, that is when they first came up with them. Okay. So since the very first iPhone, according to the pho iPhone Wiki, there have been 29 models of the iPhone. 29. Two nine. How many did I say Samsung is going to be updating? 130. So who has an easier time of providing updates, security, updates, testing the updates, pushing the updates, having people install the updates, the company that in the last, how many years has been making iPhones yet since 2007? Okay. So all the way up to 2021, that's a lot of years. Versus the Android who has been making these Galaxy's for many years, but is only going to be providing updates back to the Galaxy S 10 from 2019. That covers the 130 models. Are you getting what I'm selling here? Are you buying it? Yeah, it's impossible. Really? For Samsung, even with all that, they're trying to do here. They're trying to help out. It's impossible for them to keep up with security-based unless they have this massive team. I don't expect that they do have a massive team that's going to be working in parallel. 130 teams, one for each phone. That just isn't happening. So again, if security is a concern, Android is not the way to go. If, for some reason you morally, ethically, religiously cannot use an iPhone and then have a solid look at Samsung because of this promise they came up with, here in the last two weeks, of four years of security updates for more than 130 phones. Finally, there is an Android phone that will have security updates at some point in time, versus what we've had over the years of really, you can only count on it for one or two years. It's just not worth it. Not a good thing. Hey, I am sending out on my newsletter, not just my show Notes, but I have also been sending out one or two other emails a week that have some very narrow training. What I've been doing is making audiograms for you guys.   This is a video that is of me speaking, explaining something.  On that video, you can see all of the words you can read along, which is great for people who are hearing impaired, or maybe you want to have that computer muted for whatever reason. It makes it easy. You can find me on YouTube, just go to Craig peterson.com/youtube, and you can catch those audiograms. You can also get them. If you are an active subscriber to my newsletter, active means you open it. You read it. I know you do. If I don't consider you active you just don't get this extra information. So, make sure you open those emails. A lot of us have been complaining about cookies and tracking for a long time. Google has finally heard us? I'm not sure about this. We're going to talk about third-party cookies, right now. Hi, everybody. Thanks for joining me, Craig Peterson here. Well, third-party cookies are where you go to a website, and that web browser kind of squeals on you, shall we say. What happens is Google, for instance, is trying to track you as you go online. As you go between websites. They're calling this kind of an advertising surveillance industry on the web. Frankly, this third-party cookie has really been an important part of this whole surveillance industry. What it does now is it allows a website to have a look at where you have been online. When I say it allows a website, it's really Google, that's doing the tracking. Obviously, you're going to a website, Google doesn't own every website out there. In fact, it barely owns any, when you look at the number of websites that are out on the internet. So Google has this whole concept of if you're visiting this site and you have visited this site and this other site, I know something about you. So it sells that information because it's seeing the pattern, right? That's the whole idea behind the advertising. Phasing out these tracking cookies and these other persistent third-party identifiers have been something people have been trying to get rid of for a very long time. The Electronic Frontier Foundation you'll find them online@eff.org has been jumping up and down trying to get everybody to pull up their socks if you will. One of the first players to really jump into this was Apple. Apple has pretty much told the whole industry, you got to stop doing some of this tracking. Some of the tracking is okay. Again, how many times have I said, if I'm looking for a Ford F-150 then I don't mind seeing ads for the Ford F-150.  Why would I want to see ads for a motor scooter when I'm looking for a pickup truck. Frankly, if I'm looking for an F-150, I expect to see ads maybe for a Chevy Silverado or a Dodge truck, does that make sense to you?  I'm looking for something and that's when I'm interested in seeing it. Google is now jumping on this bandwagon because Apple has said we are going to be doing a couple of things. We are going to be forcing you, app developers, to tell everybody exactly what you are doing with their information, what you're tracking, who you're selling it to, what it's being used for. That's a very big deal. It's got the whole advertising industry very worried. Google is coming along saying, okay, Apple will do you a little bit of one better. Of course, the biggest complaint from Facebook who ironically has been buying newspaper ads, if you can believe that. Google has been destroying the newspaper industry and now it's going to newspapers to try and get people to stop Apple from destroying Facebook's industry by blocking some of the advertising tracking that Facebook has been doing. Now, what Google is doing is looking to replace these third-party cookies. How were they going to do that? They are already doing a few rather sneaky things. For instance, they fingerprint your browser. Your browser has a fingerprint because you have certain extensions on your browser that you've added. You have your computer, which has an operating system that has a certain version. It has a certain amount of memory. It has a certain amount of disc storage. A lot of the private information, personal information about your computer can be gleaned by a website. One of the things they've been doing this, you're blocking cookies. No problem. I can still figure out who you are and they don't necessarily know exactly who you are, but they have a very good idea. One of the proposals Google has come out with is called the federated learning of cohorts, which is very ambitious and could be the replacement, if you will, for these third-party cookies that could be the most harmful. What it is is a way to make your browser do the profiling. Itself. Historically they've been able to track your browser as you go around and then they have to pull all of that information together. They pull it together and they come up with a picture of you and who you are. Yeah. You're interested in buying a pickup truck, particularly an F150. This is an example. That picture gets detailed about you, but it's something that the advertisers have to put together. What this flock or federated learning of cohorts is doing is it's boiling down your recent browsing activity into a category. They're calling this a behavioral label, and then they're sharing it with websites and advertisers. The idea is basically your web browser itself is going to put you in one or more buckets and the websites that you're visiting and the advertisers that are advertising on those websites will be able to get that label that your browser has put on you. Yeah, you like that? So what EFF is saying is that this could exacerbate many of the worst non-privacy problems with behavioral ads, including discrimination and predatory targeting. You can guess what those things mean, right? They're calling this a privacy sandbox, right? It's always the opposite. If Congress is passing a bill, that is a COVID relief bill, you can bet that there's very little to do with COVID relief in the bill. Wait a minute, actually, that's true. There's only 9% of the money in this almost $2 trillion spending plan. 9%, that actually goes to COVID relief. Instant COVID relief bill. Same thing here with Google, right? This is the privacy sandbox and it's going to be better, Google says. In the world, we have today where data brokers and ad tech giants, track and profile everybody with complete impunity. Just like Equifax has. Just like Equifax lost our personal identifiable information, our social security numbers, or addresses or names or date of birth, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. We pay a small fine. Yet. We go on. Are they out of business? Have they lost business? In fact, they gained business because people have been paying Equifax to monitor their credit. Oh my gosh. That framing that Google is talking about is based on a false premise that you have to choose between tracking and new tracking. Does that sound familiar? Yeah.  It's not an either-or. We really should be rejecting this whole new federated learning of cohorts proposal Google has come out with. You can bet that Apple is going to reject this outright because it's really rather terrible. If you care about your privacy on the other hand again, I look at it and say I want an F-150. I don't mind ads for pickup trucks, so what's wrong with that? Okay. There's two sides to this. I just don't like them calling me by name when I walked past a billboard. Stick around, we'll be right back. I'm a fan of much of what Elon Musk has done, what he's trying to do when it comes to technology, and being a proponent of technology. I'm not fond of Elon Musk taking over $3 billion from the taxpayers though. Hi, everybody. I appreciate you spending a couple of hours with me here on the weekend. There's so much to cover. Elon Musk it was $3 billion that he had received in government subsidies. Now we're looking at this, according to good jobs, first.org. We're looking at $4.9 billion dollars that Elon Musk has received basically from the taxpayer. It's really sad when you get right down to it. Now, Tesla got money from taxpayers he's paid some of it back. It's really the government trying to name a winner. There's a lot of competing technologies. There's even non-electric cars out there. How many of you even aware of this? That use, for instance, hydrogen instead of electricity. Now there's, of course, with any technology there's complications here and there. Hydrogen is absolutely amazing. It's an electric car. You fill it up with hydrogen and the only byproduct of the burning, if you will, the hydrogen, is water. In fact, it doesn't burn the hydrogen. It combines it with oxygen to make the water and produce electricity all at the same time. Very cool. There are some prototypes out already on the roads out in California and some other places around the world. When the government's giving out billions of dollars to electric cars, they're effectively naming a winner. Aren't they? Does that make sense? I don't think so. We've got to have a free market and this is not a way to have a free market. It's just like with solar, wind, some of these other technologies where the government is taking our tax dollars and is saying this particular technology, and even worse, look at Solyndra, look at some of these others just absolute debacles. Now, even worse they give money to a specific company within a certain industry. That is not a good thing. Government has a terrible record at picking winners. Even investors, you look at people who are angel investors and who are venture capitalists. They are lucky. If they make money in one of 10 of their investments. It is not a great way for them to make money. A professional investor does terribly. Imagine how poorly a politician does.  The politician is going to be listening to the people knocking on their door, saying here's some money for next time you run for the house or Senate. Or locally, in local elections, it even happens. That is a very bad thing. It's been proven again, and again over particularly in the last about 140 years. Governments' terrible about picking winners. Yet they do it every day of the week. Tesla has gotten money, right? Some, of its tax benefits, some of it is actual cash.  The bottom line, they've some great technology. Now what's happening is Tesla is asking Tesla fans to lobby the government on its behalf. Great article by Rachel Kraus over on Mashable about this week. I love it. She says a Tesla fan. Your mission. Should you choose to accept it is to go to bat politically for the company. Check this out online. You might want to too because Tesla has launched a new online portal called the Tesla engagement platform. CNBC spotted this about a week ago, and this is a hub where Tesla posts actions its users can take like contacting government officials when there is a potential law that would affect the company. In fact, it says in a blog post on this hub Tesla built. Engage Tesla is a new platform for both Tesla's public policy team and Tesla owners clubs. Its goal is to create a digital Homebase for all of our work and to make it easier for Tesla community members to learn what's top of mind for us. Take meaningful action and stay in the loop. We hope you'll enjoy our, excuse me, will we hope you'll join us in getting involved? Oh my gosh. So, I'm on Engage Tesla, it is at engage.tesla.com. Very pretty pictures. By the way, of some of these new Tesla cars, very cool cars. I would absolutely drive one of these things. One exception, I don't like the handles. I talked about that a couple of years back. About door handles on the outside. Having been in emergency medicine for a while. EMS, I can tell you, in accidents, you want something you can grab onto and have serious leverage. The doors get bent, things happen.  There's at least one case I'm aware of where someone got trapped inside the car that was involved in an accident and then burned to death because the people who were trying to rescue him could not get him out of the car because there are no door handles to pull on. Yes. I know the handles come out automatically when everything's working right.  I'm talking about the most extreme of problems here. Anyhow, I'm digressing again. Uber is doing much the same thing, by the way. It isn't just Tesla. Uber is, in fact, they had their drivers this was October last year, sue Uber over what these drivers called pressure to vote and advocate for the proposition in California. Not a good thing when you get right down to it. It is it's a real problem when you look at this in detail now. I'm not sure it's a terrible problem, but I do have a serious problem with companies soliciting the government in order to get things like tax subsidies in order to get special favors. A lot of people do too. Look at all of the people who were upset with Tesla for trying to get a tax holiday for its battery plant and for some of its other facilities and things that they're doing. By the way, there is currently a post on this Tesla engagement platform asking Nebraska residents to contact lawmakers about a law coming up for a vote that would enable Tesla to open showrooms and service stations in the state where it's currently prohibited. Now I brought that one up, particularly because I think again, free market. There's no reason in today's world. No legitimate, let me put it that way, reason to have dealerships. I think we should be able to buy a vehicle directly from a manufacturer. If they want to have certified repair shops, knock yourselves out, but we don't need somebody sitting there anymore in a dealership. Same thing with most of these distributorships. I think we have been shown that a car can be ordered online, configured, online shipping to us. We can be pretty darn happy with it. By the way, that they are shipping it to us in our state gives them what's called a legal nexus. So, they do have a presence in the state. They can be sued in the state if there is a problem. This whole thing in Nebraska, I don't think there should be dealerships that are exclusively provided the right to sell vehicles within the state. My opinion. All right. Hey, stick around. Cause we will be back. We're going to talk a little bit about deep fakes. This is cool because MyHeritage is doing something that's scaring a few people. You're listening to Craig Peterson. Make sure you check out my website, Craig peterson.com and sign up. You might've seen some of these deep fakes out there. Videos where it's putting Elon Musk's face on people or others in videos. Did you know that there's audio as well? They're using it to bring back our ancestors. Hi guys. I really appreciate you listening to me. There is a website out there called MyHeritage and it's very popular. It's a site that allows you to do a genealogical examination of yourself, a little look at DNA, they'll look at your family tree. They've got some research stuff up there. They have something new called Deep Nostalgia and I think this is very cool. It really introduces some interesting problems, frankly. This allows you to animate a face in a photo. It's unnerving. When you have a look at this thing. You can check it out, again. MyHeritage.com/deep-nostalgia N O S T A L G I A. In case you're wondering how to spell it.  They require you to create an account on their site and then you upload the photograph. It takes that photograph and it has them pose it's really uncanny. I'm looking at a picture black and white that was taken it's right there on their site of a couple. I would guess this is a 1960-ish-era photograph based on the hairstyles and the glasses. It's just so weird because they have this photo. It's a head-on face-on photo and they've animated it so that the woman in this photo she's moving her head around. She's smiling. This is a really great smile. She blinked. She moves her head up and down and looks over to her and looks back again. Wowsers. It is absolutely amazing. You might want to check it out.  It's a form of artificial intelligence that's doing this. Of course, it has to make a bunch of assumptions. So if you look, you don't even have to look that closely, but if you look fairly closely at the picture, you'll see some detailed problems with her hair, the ends of her hair. At the top of her head, because you can't see the whole top of her head in the original picture. You can obviously not see both sides of her face or her head because that particular picture just a straight-on shot.  It's making it up as it goes. We're seeing deep fakes more and more. We're going to see a real problem, coming up in another couple of years, certainly by the time 2024 arrives with deep fakes. We've already got Russians influencing our elections. Of course, not as much as the oligarchs out in Silicon Valley have been influencing our elections, but they are already influencing us in a very big way. China, as well, imagine what'll happen when they start producing deep fakes of our presidential candidates saying things or doing things that they have never said nor done. What I did is. I figured I want to give you guys an example. Audio seems to be a little bit harder for the deep fakers than some of the videos. At least the technology and audio hasn't quite come as far.  I'm going to play for you right now. A deep fake of my voice. This is not my voice, you're about to hear. Then I'm going to play a completely computer-generated deep, fake. So let's go here. I'm going to play my voice right now. This is an example of a deep fake using my voice. Did you catch that? That wasn't me. That was a computer again. I'm going to play it for you one more time. This is an example of a deep fake using my voice. Now you can hear some of the problems with it. If you listen really closely that it's not really me, but it's close enough that if you weren't paying a whole lot of attention, you would not notice that it really wasn't me saying something. Expect within the next year, that type of technology to get to the point where you won't be able to tell. So think about it. What would happen? If a tape was released, talking about, Mitt Romney for instance, saying half of the voters that are never going to vote for me anyway, and that was recorded. I guess, by one of the waiters, it was at an event. If you took this voice of mine and you created a deep fake, cause all you need is about five seconds worth of someone's voice to make a deep fake. You had politician X, let's say that Hillary is running again for precedent, okay in 24. You could have her say almost anything. The audio quality might not be up to it, but with most of these recordings that are made on people's cell phones either, is it. I want to play another deep fake. This is a completely fabricated female voice. This is an example of a deep fake using a completely generated voice. Yes, indeed. I created that. I can make her say anything I want to. Help me. Craig is holding me hostage inside his computer. Yeah. This is going to be a huge problem in the future. There are concerns about what they are doing over at MyHeritage. Look at some of these pictures. Here's one it's cool. It's unnerving. Here's again, a guy with a family, this one's in color, he's got a right ear, the really pops out there, but he's looking around. Have you used an iPhone and taken a picture and they call them live pictures. You can see the person right before the shutter is closed. You can see the person moving around. It's really a little video right in front of the picture. That's what these things look like. Ah, here's this little kid he's looking around. Here's one, a very old one. Oh my goodness, it is creepy. You got to check this out online. MyHeritage is.com/deep nostalgia. Now here's where the concern comes in. In an article on Life Hacker. By David Murphy, he is talking about taking these old pictures could be very old pictures of somebody sitting around somewhere, uploading it to the site. Then you get a little bit of nostalgia. I get creepy nostalgia that only comes from this static image now moving around on your screen. I don't get it, really, I don't myself. I think that it's just plain creepy, but if you decide to do it, cause it is cool. Okay. You probably should use a temporary account to make it to make your account over on MyHeritage and maybe also delete the photos that you upload and turn into these deep fakes. So many other websites out there, if you do go ahead and upload it, they go and claim the rights to it because it's a derivative piece. They made this little video from your photos. So, that's not your photo anymore. It's now theirs.  It gives them a royalty-free worldwide perpetual and non-exclusive license to host copy, post, and distribute the content. It could be a problem, but I can tell you one thing that definitely would be a problem, that is if you use a username and the password you've used elsewhere. Now, I have to bring this up because most of us are using the same password on every website or maybe, yeah we're really smart. We got three passwords and we vary them. I did that for years, but that was many decades ago. We just can't do that anymore. If you are going to make an account on MyHeritage or anywhere else, make sure you don't use a password that you've used anywhere else because it is a problem. Ultimately, it's a real problem for you and you can't believe your eyes or your ears anymore. You share these pictures. I don't know that they allow you to download them because I did not put my own pictures up there. If these pictures are watermarked. Delete your account. Click that blue link under the big grid text to get started.  That's supposed to delete anything anyways. You can figure it out but have a look anyway, it's in my newsletter that comes out on Sunday morning. There'll be a link in there that you can click on and see what they've been able to do. Remember. When it comes to particularly things coming up in this next election where it really matters who we vote for, it really matters. Other countries have a very big opinion about who we should be electing to office. Look at what happened with Rep Swalwell out in California. Here's a guy who was running for mayor the Chinese socialist government decided they would put a honeypot into his campaign. So they got this woman who was trained in seducing people. They seduced Swalwell and she raised money for him, for his campaign as mayor and stuck with him over the years, all the way until he was in Congress. Then in Congress, she helped him get onto the very influential committee in Congress, where he had full access to our government secrets. Certain secrets that are. She apparently was feeding all the information right back to China. That is not a good thing, not a good thing at all. It goes to how much. China is willing to do to directly influence and infiltrate our government and our businesses. If they will assign one of their spies to seduce a mayor of a small city in California, and then help elevate him to Congress and to the chairmanship in Congress. By the way, The speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi has not removed him from that seat. She's got a Chinese spy problem herself. That's another story. They're willing to do anything. It's going to be a rough little time here going forward. Let me tell you these deep fakes are getting more and more real. I'll be right back with a whole lot more. You're listening to Craig Peterson. I've been talking about this on the radio all week, at least since midweek.  I want to talk about it now, and why I am so upset with Microsoft. I can hardly contain myself. This is crazy. This is Craig Peterson here. You heard it right. The guy that's very upset with Microsoft. What shall I say? We're going to be getting into that in just a couple of minutes. This is a real problem. What are we supposed to do? We have bad guys now doing what is called supply chain attacks. The simple way to explain this is you have someone who is supplying software for you.  It could be Microsoft. We heard about something, that happened very recently with SolarWinds and how they had software that they were providing their customers, which included government agencies. All kinds of them. It included many businesses. A lot of managed services providers were hacked by this. A very, very big problem, because they were trusting the software that came from SolarWinds, and that software had been digitally signed, so they knew it was legitimate. Everything's good. Nothing to worry about here, let's go on with our lives. However, the reality was that the SolarWinds software had been hacked many months prior to anybody really noticing.  It was hacked in such a way that when SolarWinds provided their software to their customers were now infected. Now, you might look at it and say SolarWinds, they should be signing their software. They should be watching the chain of custody for their software. They did, in both cases, they were signing it digitally so that their customers knew, okay, this is legit. This is really from us. You can install it. It's good. But you're checking the signature didn't do any good. You were still going to be hacked because it was in SolarWinds software. Microsoft has been providing us with software for many years. I helped develop some of the Windows NT code ways back when. Their new technology, that's what the current versions of Windows are based on.  I can remember way back then, just what a mess it was I couldn't believe the way they did so many things. It was just absolutely crazy. Of course, David Cutler, VMS guy, for those of you who remember all of that, really spearheaded that NT project. There were a lot of VMS systems in it, but then Microsoft ripped them out. They ripped them out because they didn't want to have to support an operating system that enforced security. VMS has been a very secure operating system is written by true programming professionals, not interns, as it was exposed with Microsoft, having interns develop one of their versions of their operating system, like 80% of it. It was crazy. That was only found out because of discovery. Yet Microsoft is sitting on cash. A whole lot of cash. It's billions of dollars. Let me see. I'm looking up right now.  Microsoft is sitting on $136 billion in cash, right now, according to MacroTrends. Now, were they using that cash, that $136 billion in cash, to make their products more secure? Doesn't look like it does it. They had such a huge hole. You could drive a freight train through. The Chinese were able to infiltrate,  in fact, many of our machines. This isn't tens of thousands of our machines, this isn't just something like ransomware, where you know about it because Hey, they're asking a ransom, right? They're threatening they're going to release our secrets, our software, our personal information. If we don't pay up it wasn't one of those things. What they did is they got onto these machines in education. In other words, school districts. Hospitals, doctor's offices, government agencies, including defense department guys, Homeland security guys. Okay. Our businesses all the way across the world.  They put back doors on. What a backdoor is. it is something that allows them to go to your machine anytime they want?  In this case do pretty much anything they want it to. Microsoft comes out with fixes this last week. This is specifically for the Microsoft exchange server. By the way, if you're running Microsoft Exchange server, either locally in your business or in the cloud, you have this bug. They released a patch that supposedly closes the hole. It was used by the Chinese to install permanent back doors and what did they not do? They didn't remove the back doors that the Chinese had put in. What's Microsoft saying to us then, are they saying, Hey, listen, you're fools for buying our software. I don't think they're saying that. I am at the point now where I'm saying that we are fools for trusting Microsoft. We're fools for trusting these companies that have a product to sell. All they're trying to do is sell the product. Look at what's been happening with some of these antivirus products. Look at what's happening with these VPN products. They have the software to sell and they're going to sell it. They're not going to tell you the whole truth, nothing but the truth. Forget about it. They're going to do anything they can to sell you the product. So are Microsoft people. Are people getting fired for buying Microsoft? It's like IBM in the seventies and the eighties, you never got fired for buying IBM. People should be fired for buying Microsoft. If you have a Microsoft Exchange server, not only do you need to make sure you install all of the patches. There were four critical Microsoft exchange servers, zero-day vulnerabilities patch. In other words, things that they hadn't been able to patch it and know about yet. Supposedly, right? There are articles I've read that say they've known about at least one of these vulnerabilities for a year plus. There are other vulnerabilities Microsoft knows about that they haven't bothered closing the door on. They are in our supply chain. They are getting us the software that we need and they're signing it and it's installed in it. We're upgrading our machines. Sometimes the upgrades that they provide, the security patches actually work, in this case. It may close the door. What it's not doing is providing us with a way out of this huge mess. Velma agrees with me here. Okay. No, she absolutely does. They released fixes on March 2nd. Microsoft has been saying they've been used in limited and targeted attacks against law firms, infectious disease researchers, defense contractors, policy think tanks among other victims. Yeah. Yeah. How is it a problem? I don't see it. Oh, my goodness. Companies are seeing abuses of these Microsoft exchange server problems starting in January. There are reports that I found out there online. There are three clusters of vulnerabilities. Tens of thousands of US-based organizations are running Microsoft exchange servers that have been backdoored by these threat actors, who we are thinking are Chinese. They are stealing administrative passwords. They're exploiting these critical vulnerabilities in the email systems and calendaring application. They've done nothing, Microsoft to disinfect the system's already been compromised. Can you believe this? I got this from Krebs on security. They were the first ones to report this mass hack and Krebs has got some great stuff they have had for many years now, frankly. Brian Krebs put the number of compromised US organizations, at least at 30,000 worldwide. Krebs said that there were at least a hundred thousand hacked organizations. Now, an organization is a government agency. It could be a hospital, could be a doctor's office, could be a business, right? Anything is an organization, tens of thousands in the U. S. This is the real deal. This is a very big deal. You have to assume if you are running a Microsoft Exchange server, this is the server that is used for email. This is how small businesses often run. Their email is an exchange server. This is how hospitals and government agencies, et cetera, run their exchange server, which is ridiculous. I have never purposely used an exchange server, right? If there's any way around it I've always has gone to something better, a Unix-based system. Postfix, almost anything rather than the incredibly buggy software from Microsoft. It is just horrible. Anyway, you have to assume that you were compromised between near the end last week of February and the first week of March. Absolutely incredible limited targeted attacks. This isn't something that was just absolutely widespread. They went after companies because they knew they could get something out of the companies, a very skilled hacking group from China. They're focused primarily on stealing data from US-based infectious disease researchers. As I said, law firms, right? Higher education institutions, defense contractors, policy, think tanks and NGOs. It's absolutely incredible what they've been doing and we cannot put up with it anymore. I want to put a little word here. If you are a business and you have been using Microsoft exchange server restore from a backup. I would say in the January timeframe, you'd probably be safe. Probably, didn't have any back doors in January. Hopefully, you've got a backup that goes back that far. Okay. Then find something else. Don't use this. Microsoft does not care. You cannot have $136 billion cash on hand, and not spending serious amounts on security. You can't tell me they care. Because frankly, I don't think they do. Hey, go online. Craig peterson.com get some of the free training, other things, and I'm offering right there. Craig peterson.com. Hey, welcome back everybody we're talking right now about InfoSec, information security. Have you thought about maybe taking up a bit of a new career? Well, there are some estimated 2 million open jobs in this one? This is Craig Peterson. Thanks for joining me today. This article appeared in dark reading. Now, dark reading is an online magazine, right? It's a website. And they had this article that I absolutely had to read because it reminded me of someone I know. One of our listeners, who decided he needed a new career. He'd lost his job. He'd been out of work for over a year and he had been managing a retail camera shop and they shut it down. He was stuck. What do I do? He'd been listening to the show for a long time. He decided he wanted to go into information security. He took some courses on it and he got himself a job. A full-time job being the chief IT security guy for this company after just a few months. So that tells you how desperate these companies are. Kind of jerking his chain a little bit, but not right, because he just barely had any background.  If you want me to connect you with him, if you are serious about thinking about one of these careers, I'll be glad to forward your request to him, just to see if he's willing to talk to you. Just email me M e@craigpeterson.com and make sure you mentioned what this is all about. So I know what's going on. Ran Harel, who is security principal and product manager over at Semperis said, when I was growing up, I was quite an introvert, by the way, that sounds like a lot of us in it. I didn't realize until much later on in my career, just how great the security and tech community is looking back. I realize how quickly I could have solved so many issues, by just asking on an IRC channel or forum. IRC is an internet relay chat, a bit of a technical thing, but it's an online chat. I would tell my former self, the problem you are facing now is probably been dealt with multiple times in the past year alone. Don't be afraid to ask the InfoSec community and then learn from them. That's absolutely true. I found an online IRC channel basically, and they were set up just to talk about CMMC is this new standard that department of defense contractors are having to use. As you probably know, we have clients that are manufacturers and make things for the Department of Defense and they have to maintain security.  It's been interesting going in there answering questions for people and even asking a couple of questions. It is a great resource. This particular kind of IRC is over on discussion. You can find them all over the place. Reddit has a bunch of sub- Reddits. It's dealing with these things, including, by the way, getting into an InfoSec career. So keep that in mind. There's lots of people like myself that are more than willing to help because some of the stuff can get pretty confusing. All right. The next one. Is from Cody Cornell, chief security officer, and co-founder over at swimlane. He said, apply for jobs. You are not qualified for everyone else is. Man. I have seen that so many times everybody from PhDs all the way on, down throughout a high school and who have sent me applications that they were not even close to qualified for. Now, you can probably guess with me, I don't care if you have a degree. All I care about is can you do the work. Can you get along with the team are you really going to pull your weight and contribute?  I have seen many times that the answer to that is no, but I've seen other times where, wow, this person's really impressive. So again, apply for jobs you're not qualified for because everybody is. Security changes every day. New skills techniques and the needs of organizations are always shifting. And to be able to check every box from an experience and skills perspective is generally impossible. Looking back at 20 years of jobs in the security space, I don't believe that I was ever a hundred percent qualified for any of them, but felt confident that I could successfully do them. So keep that in mind. Okay. Again, imposter syndrome, we're all worried about it. This applies to more than just InfoSec. This applies to every job, every part of life, we all feel as though were impostors and that we're not really qualified, but the question is, can you figure it out? Can you really do it? Next up here is Chris Robert, a hacker in residence, he calls himself over at Semperis and he says, overall, the most important lessons that I'd tell my younger self are not tech-based. Rather they focus on the human aspect of working in the cybersecurity industry. I think cybersecurity professionals in general, tend to focus on technology and ignore the human element, which is a mistake and something we need to collectively learn from and improve. I agree with him on that as well. However, we know humans are going to make mistakes, so make sure you got the technology in place that will help to mitigate those types of problems. Next up, who's got, Marlys Rogers. She's CISO over at the CSAA insurance group that's a lot of four-letter acronyms. You are nothing without data. Data is queen. Coming from an insurance person, right? Without hard data, you can only speak to security in more imagined ways or ways. The board and C-suite are aware of in the media cost-benefit is only achievable with related data points. Demonstrating how much we are fighting off and how the tools, processes, and people make that happen. Next up we have Edward Frye, he's CSO over at our Aryaka. When I first started out, I was fairly impatient and wanted to get things done right away. While there are some things that need to be done right now, not everything needs to be done. Now have the ability to prioritize and focus on the items that will have the biggest impact. I think one of the biggest lessons I've learned along the way is while we may need to move quickly, this race is a marathon, not a sprint. Patience is essential for security pros. I can certainly see that one. Chris Morgan, senior cyber threat intelligence analyst over at Digital Shadows, despite the way that many in media liked to portray cyber threats, not everything will bring about the end of the world. For those getting into incident response and threats, try to have a sense of perspective and establish the facts before allowing your colleagues to push too quickly towards remediation mitigation, et cetera. Expectation management amongst senior colleagues is also something you'll frequently have to do to avoid them breaking down over a mere phishing site. The quote, one of my former colleagues try to avoid chicken, little central. I've seen that before as well. The next one is things are changing daily and the last one is a perception of security is still a challenge. So great little article by Joan Goodchild. You'll see it in my newsletter, which we're trying to get out now Sunday mornings. You can click through the link if you'd like to read more. As you can see. 2 million open jobs while between one and 3 million, depending on whose numbers you're going at in cybersecurity. You don't have to be an expert. As I said, one of our listeners went from not knowing much about it at all. He can install windows. That's it. To having a job in cybersecurity in less than six months, stick around. We'll be right back. I'm doing a special presentation coming up next month for the New England Society of Physicians and Psychiatrists. We're going to be talking a little bit about what we will talk about right now. What can you do to keep your patient information safe?  What can we do as patients to help make sure our data's safe. Hi, everybody. You'll also find me on pretty much every podcast platform out there. Just search for my name, Craig Peterson. I have a podcast and it makes it pretty easy. I've found some of them don't understand if you try and search for Craig Peterson, tech talk, some of them do. I've been a little inconsistent with my naming over the years, but what the heck you can find me. It's easy enough to do. I've got this new kind of purple-ish logo that you can look for to make sure it's the right one. And then you can listen to subscribe, please subscribe. It helps all of our numbers. You can also, of course, by listening online with one of these devices, help our numbers too. Cause it's you guys that are important.  The more subscribers we have, the way these algorithms work, the more promotion we'll get.  I think that's frankly, a very good thing as well. What do you do if you need to see a doctor, that question has a different answer today than it did a year ago. I won't be able to say that in about another month, right? Because mid March is when everything changed last year, 2020, man, what a year? To see a doctor nowadays, we are typically going online aren't we. You're going to talk to them. So many doctors have been using some of these platforms that are just not secure things like zoom, for instance, which we know isn't secure. Now, the fed kind of loosens things up a little bit under the Trump administration saying, Hey. People need to see doctors. The HIPAA PCI rules were loosened up a little bit in order to make things a little bit better. Then there's the whole DSS thing with HIPAA. All of these rules are just across the board are loosened up. That has caused us to have more of our information stolen.  I'm going to be talking a little bit about this FBI, actually multi-agency warning that came out about the whole medical biz and what we need to be doing. Bottom line, Zoom is not something we should be using when we're talking to our doctors. Now, this really bothers me too. Zoom is bad. We know that it's not secure and it should not be used for medical discussions, but Zoom has been private labeling its services so that you can go out and say, Hey, zoom, I want to use you and I'm going to call it my XYZ medical platform. People have done that. Businesses have done that. Not really realizing how insecure Zoom is. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt here. You go and you use the XYZ medical platform and you have no clue of Zoom. Other than man, this looks a lot like Zoom, that's the dead giveaway. Keep an eye out for that because a lot of these platforms just aren't secure. I do use Zoom for basic webinars because everybody has it. Everybody knows how to use it.  I have WebEx and the WebEx version of it is secure. In fact, all the basic versions, even of WebEx are secure and I can have a thousand people on a webinar or which is a great way to go. It's all secure end to end. Unlike again, what Zoom had been doing, which is it might be secure from your desktop, but it gets to a server where it's no longer secure. That kind of problem that telegram has, frankly. If you are talking to your doctor, try and use an approved platform. That's how you can keep it safer. If you're a doctor and you have medical records be really careful. Zoom has done some just terrible things from a security standpoint. For instance, installing a complete web server on a Mac and allowing access to the Mac now via the webserver. Are you nuts? What the heck are you doing? That's just crazy. Just so insecure. This is all part of a bigger discussion and the discussion has to do with Zero trust architectures.  We're seeing this more and more. A couple of you, Danny. I know you reached out to me asking specifically about zero trust architectures. Now Danny owns a chain of. Coffee shops and his family does as well. He says, Hey, listen, what should I do to become secure? So I helped them out. I got him a little Cisco platform, and second Cisco go that he can use as much more secure than the stuff you buy the big box retailers or your buying at Amazon, et cetera, and got it all configured for him and running. Then he heard me talk about zero-trust and said, Hey, can I do zero-trust with this Cisco go, this Muraki go, is actually what it is and the answer is, well so here's the concept that businesses should be using, not just medical businesses, but businesses in general and zero trust means that you do not trust the devices, even the ones that you own that are on your network. You don't trust them to be secure. You don't trust them to talk to other devices without explicit permission. Instead of having a switch that allows everything to talk to everything or a wifi network where everything can talk to everything, you have very narrow, very explicit ways that devices can talk to each other. That's what zero-trust is all about.  That's where the businesses are moving. There's zero trust architecture, and it doesn't refer to just a specific piece of technology. Obviously, we're talking about the idea that devices, and even on top of that, the users who are using the devices only have the bare minimum access they need in order to perform their job. Some businesses look at this and say that's a problem. I'm going to get complaints that someone needs access to this and such. You need that because here's what can happen. You've got this data that's sitting out there might be your intellectual property. You might be a doctor in a doctor's office and you've got patient records. You might have the records from your PCI your credit card records that you have. I put on. Those are sitting there on your network that is in fact a little dangerous because now you've got something the bad guys want.  It's dangerous if the bad guys find it and they take it, you could lose your business. It's that simple. They are not allowing you to use the excuse anymore because of COVID. That excuse doesn't work anymore. The same thing's true with the credit card numbers that you have the excuse of I'm just a small business. It's not a big deal. Doesn't work anymore. They are taking away your credit card privileges. We had an outreach from a client that became a client, that had their ability to take credit cards taken away from them because again, there was a leak. So we have to be careful when you're talking and you have private information, or if you don't want your machine to be hacked, do not use things like Zoom. I covered this extensively in my Improving Windows Security course. So keep an eye out for that as well. If you're not on my email list, you won't find out about this stuff. Go right now to Craig peterson.com. If you scroll down to the bottom of that homepage and sign up for that newsletter so you can get all of what I talk about here and more. Hey, thanks to some hackers out there. Your application for unemployment benefits might've been approved and you didn't apply for it in the first place. Turns out somebody stealing our information again. Hi everybody. Craig Peterson here.  This is a big concern of mine and I've often wondered because I have not been receiving these stimulus checks. I did not get the first round. I did not get the second round and I contacted the IRS and the IRS says depends on when you filed for 2019. Oh my gosh.  Of course, I was a little late filing that year. They still haven't caught up. I guess that's good news, right? That the IRS data processing centers are terrible. It goes back to aren't you glad we don't get the government we pay for is the bottom line here, but I've been concerned. Did somebody steal my refund? Did somebody steal my unemployment benefits, did somebody steal my stimulus checks? It is happening more and more. There is a great little article talking about this, where someone had stolen the author's John personal information again. Now we probably all have had our personal information stolen, whether you're aware of it or not. As usual, I recommend that you go to have I been poned.com and pwnd is spelled, pwn, D have I been poned.com and find out whether or not your data has been stolen and is out there on the dark web. They have a really good database of a lot of these major hacks.  Many of us have been hacked via these credit bureaus and one in particular Equifax who have all kinds of personal information about us, had it all stolen. It's easy enough for people to steal our identities file fake tax returns. That's why the IRS is telling you, Hey, file your return as soon as possible. That way when the bad guys file, we'll know it's the bad guys' cause you already filed it. As opposed to you file your tax return and the IRS comes back and says, Oh, you already filed. We already sent you a refund or whatever. You already filed it. That is a terrible thing to have to happen because now you have to fight and you have to prove it wasn't you. How do you prove a negative? It's almost impossible. At least in this case, hopefully, the check was sent to some state 50 States away, another side of the world. So you can say, Hey, listen, I never been there, then they can hopefully track where it was deposited. Although now the bad guys are using these websites that have banks behind them, or maybe it's a bank with a website that is designed for people to get a debit card and an account just like that. That, in fact, is what was used to hack my buddy. My 75-year-old buddy has been out delivering meals and had his paychecks stolen through one of those. These fraudulent job claims are happening more and more. It's really a rampant scam. We've had warnings coming out from the FBI and they have really accelerated during the lockdown because now we've had these jobless benefits increased, people, making more money staying in their home than they made on the job. Disincentives for working, frankly. He's saying here the author again, John Wasik, that a third of a million people in his state alone were victims of the scam. This is an Illinois. This is where he lives. A third of the people in the state of Illinois, including several people that he knew. We've got some national tallies underway. I don't know if you've seen these. I've seen them on TV and read about them, California. It is crazy. People were applying for California unemployment that didn't live in the state at all, would come into the state and once you're there in the state pick up the check, right? Cause that's all they were doing. Some people have been caught with more than a million dollars worth of California unemployment money. Of course, it wasn't a check, it was actually a debit card. The same basic deal and California is estimating that more than $11 billion was stolen. Can you imagine that tens of millions of people could have been scammed because of this? This is the third time the author had been a victim of identity theft and fraud.  He wanted to know how could they get his information. Well, I've told you, check it out on, have I been pwned. It'll tell you which breaches your information was in. It does it based on your email address.  It'll also tell what type of data was stolen in those breaches. So it's important stuff. I think you should definitely have a look at it. He is very upset and I can understand it. Data breaches last year, more than 737 million data files are ripped off according to act.com.  Frankly, that was a digital pandemic, with more and more of us working at home. I just talked about the last segment. Your doctor's office and you are talking to your doctor. How now? Cause you don't go into the office. There are so many ways they can steal it. The FBI's recording now a 400% increase in cybercrime reports that we had this mega hack of corporate and government systems. This whole thing we've talked about before called the SolarWinds hack, although it was really more of a Microsoft hack, and it went out via SolarWinds as well as other things. Be careful everybody out there. If you find yourself in these breach reports, have I been pwned make sure you go to the website. Set yourself up with a new password. At the very least use a password manager. I just responded to an email before, when it went on the air today, from a listener who was talking about two-factor authentication.  He's worried about what you're to use. I sent him my special report on two-factor authentication, but it is the bottom line, quite a problem. Again, Use one password, use two-factor authentication with one password. Don't use SMS as that and you'll be relatively safe. I don't know I can't say do this and you'll be safe. I don't think there's any way to be sure your safe. Having these organizations, businesses, government agencies hacked all the time that don't seem to care about losing our data, right? Oh, it's a cost of doing business, some of these businesses, and I've talked to them, they'll look at it and say, how much will it cost us in fines if our data is stolen? Versus, how much will it cost us to keep our data relatively safe?  For even a larger small company, a hundred employee company, you're talking about something that is going to be costing you about 25 grand a month.  That's if it's outsourced. If you're trying to do it yourself and a hundred-person company, you can easily be spending a hundred grand a month. It's expensive to do.  They'll look at it and say, okay, this is going to cost us a million dollars a year, odds are, it'll be two years, maybe three before we're hacked. That's this statistic, although you're rolling the dice, it might be tomorrow that you get hacked. $3 million versus our fines are going to be about a million dollars. We'll just take the fine. That to me is just disgusting. How can these people live with themselves? I don't know. Maybe it's just me. I'm going crazy. That leads us to this New York Times article I was talking about on the radio this week. The New York Times article talking about how the United States, really, we are losing control of information warfare. Our warriors have been working at the national security agency and the FBI. They leave those agencies and go to work for private contractors. The tools that we've been using to hack other people have been stolen.  The tools that we're paying to be developed, we meaning the US taxpayer, the tools that we have paid to develop aren't even being used, and that mega attack I was just talking about. That's an example of one of these attacks that would have been stopped had we been using the tools that the federal government paid for.  It's just crazy. What's going on? So here's the bottom line, everybody you can't trust most of these vendors that are out there. They have a product to sell. They don't have the best solution for you, right? They really don't. If they cared about you they would not be selling you antivirus software because it does not work. If Microsoft cared about you, they would have come out with their anti-malware stuff. Windows defender, years and years ago. They would have redesigned Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows, as well, because those were huge security holes. Look at Adobe. They've been the source of the most security problems of anything out on the market, bar none. Flash was terrible. Java, another example of something that's been a terrible security hole for years. These businesses are trying to get a product to market as quickly and as inexpensively as possible. Quick is usually the number one goal.  It has to be inexpensive for them to develop it. T

They're not the main reason you can't find a new gaming console.  I've had a number of people ask about getting into information security. I'm going to give you some tips about what I wish I knew at the start of my career.  Hello everybody. Craig Peterson here.  I want to start out by talking a little bit about the facial recognition systems and there are a lot of concerns, legitimately, a lot of concerns because now our privacy is getting worse and worse. I'm going to talk next week a little bit, at least it's on my schedule about what's happening with GPS and pros and cons to it because there are some very concerning things about GPS. Much of our business and private lives is based on GPS, nowadays. You're in a plane, you're in a boat, trains, I guess don't use GPS a whole lot, but we depend on them in our cars, everywhere. We'll talk a little bit about that next week. When it comes to facial recognition, it has come to the forefront. Now we know that, for instance, London, England was probably the most surveilled city in the world. I don't think that's anywhere near true now, considering what the Chinese have been doing to their citizens. No, I probably shouldn't call them citizens. I'm not sure what the right thing would be to call them, but the people living over there in China are under a constant eye. They're even watching them over there for jaywalking and they use facial recognition systems to automatically send them a ticket. Oh, also this social credit score they have over there where if you do jaywalk or do something else, you get points taken off of your social credit score. If your score reaches a certain point, you can't even take public transportation anymore. That's how they're controlling people. One of the many ways that they're controlling people in China. These facial recognition systems are used there. We know they've been in use in London where they're trying to track people and reverse engineer crimes, someone commits a crime. There are sensors that listen for gunshots, for instance, and then they will just backtrack all of the people that were in the area. Okay. Watching them where they work, as you remember, it's being recorded. So you're here now, where did you come from? Some of that same type of technology was used in Washington, DC for what happened on January six, with the riot of well, 80 people. Some riot. We're also now aware of what was done in Oregon and in Washington state and New York City where they were tracking people as well now. Did they get charged? Did they go to jail? They were using facial recognition systems and they were figuring out where they were, where they had been. They were also looking forward to the fact, because unlike China, where they want to know where everybody is and they've got this whole social credit system. What we were doing is finding people who were committing serious crimes. The police obviously don't want to go into that area because there are so many rioters and they were armed with all kinds of things, the baseball bats, but they had frozen bottles of water. No, I don't know. I threw a bottle of water at him. You had. That thing, deep, frozen, in a deep freeze, below zero degrees, which is way cold Fahrenheit. You brought it with you and you use that liter bottle to bash someone over the head. We saw this again and again. So you find those people. You don't arrest them right away. You don't send the police in. No reason to put their lives in any more danger than they are everyday, normally. Then what you do is track them as they leave. Now when they were leaving, they were using facial recognition to figure out who was there and where did they go? That facial recognition technology then was able to track them down. Once they got into an area where there weren't a lot of rioters or no rioters about to get in their car, or however it is, they got there, they arrested them. Of course, some of these rioters, real rioters, right? Where there's hundreds of people rioting, not 80. They were able to track them down. Some of them were arrested, some of them were charged. In a lot of these cases, the mayor said, no, don't do anything. Just let them I was going to set them riot, but that's not how they phrased it. I'm trying to remember how they phrased it. So we are seeing. Facial recognition used in law enforcement. It's one thing to track them either.  What happens over in London where a crime is committed and they now track everybody back to figure out where did they come from? What car did they get into? Did they get out of it initially? Then what was the license plate number and who owns that car? Crime-solving that way, where they don't necessarily recognize your face. They don't know it's you.  However, now we're finding more and more of that happening, where the systems recognize your face and they know it's you, and they know what your social media accounts. They know obviously where you live, it's all tied in.  A lot of cases is tied in via your driver's license or now these federally mandated national ID cards that so many people are carrying around.  Apparently, I'll have to carry around to next time I get my license because my state has finally decided they are not going to issue regular driver's licenses anymore, which definitely bothers me. I'm sure you can figure that out too. How were they identifying people? It's one thing to see a face and okay. There's the face here. Okay. There's a face there. There's okay. Here. Okay. So he just got into this car to leave. That's one thing, right? I think that's pretty legit. You don't have a particular right to privacy when you're in a public place. In fact, you have no right to privacy when you enter a public place. So I don't have a problem with that.  Now we're using artificial intelligence and we've talked about some of them before, Clearview is a great example, clearview.ai. Here's a company that some would argue illegally captured scraped. What kind of her kind of wording you want to use pictures of people all from all over the internet and the police can subscribe to their service and Clearview says, Oh no, we only let police at it, although there's evidence that would suggest otherwise. They're allowing all kinds of third parties access to the database, but you can put a person's picture into their software.  Their software, by the way, includes a mobile app, so it can be done on the street and you know who they are.  Now, this is getting RoboCop-ish. If e you've ever seen the movie Robocop. Actually, there's a series of these things with the Ed two Oh nines. What happened is the police officer could go out and he'd be patrolling in the streets and he come across some people in the computer in that kind of the heads up display would figure out, okay, that's this person they've been arrested 20 times a felony, this and that, and okay that person was shoplifting with their names and addresses and things right there in the screen. That's been a theme of science fiction movies for very long time.   I interviewed probably about a decade ago, a guy out at the consumer electronic show who had a very cool device that you could wear.  It was designed for policemen and it was like a pair of big goggles back in the day, right? This is before Google glass and some of these other things came out, but they were able to with this the heads-up display put anything you wanted on it. So it's coming, it's not here yet. It's going to be here even more in the future.  If you want to check if your photo is part of all of this stash and there are billions literally of photos that Clearview AI has out there, but you can check at least the basics.  So many of us use this website online that allowed us to upload our photos and share them with friends and relatives and family, and put it together, and have a really great little album that you could share with people.  That was on a site called flicker. Today, many of us are uploading our photos to Amazon or to Google. Apple, of course, has many of them. What happened with flicker is they went out of business. They got sold and resold few times.  What they ended up doing is selling the pictures online. There's people I talked about this a couple of years ago, this guy driving down the highway and he sees a billboard with his picture on it, not the sort of thing that he was expecting that's for sure. It's probably not something you expected when you uploaded your photos to flicker. So take a minute.  Go to a website called exposing.ai.  This particular website is specifically aimed at flicker photos. It'll tell you if it has found your picture. So you can, you put in your flicker username and they'll let you know if your flicker photos have been taken and used for facial recognition by a few different companies.  Dive face, face scrub, mega phase Pippa, VGG face, and many others. You can just put in your username. You can put in a tag that you tagged that photo when you uploaded it, or the URL of a photo. If you have a photo, it is online and it's yours and you want to see if anybody else is using it somewhere on the internet.  The easy way to do this is to go to Google image search. You can upload the image, you can give it the URL of the image, and it'll tell you if it finds matching images or at least images that are close to it online.  Stick around. Visit me online Craig Peterson dot com. During the lockdown, we've had a lot of things that have become difficult to get your hands on. Turns out that includes various types of games like your PS5's, but it extends a whole lot further than that. Hi everybody. Craig Peterson here.  Here we go, man, another fallout from the whole lockdown thing. This is a pretty darn big deal because it's affected the entire computer industry. We've heard a lot of complaints about how difficult it's been to get a Sony PlayStation five or a Microsoft X-Box series SX. They both hit store shelves last year, but they have been almost impossible to find at any of the major retailers.  There's a great little article that was in ARS Technica, and they put together a graph based on some data obtained from E-bay. This data was looking at the availability and costs specifically of the PS five. Now, this is a fairly advanced computer, frankly, in order to play these video games, of course, it's got a lot of graphics capability built right into this silly thing.  It seems that there were a certain number of consoles sold on certain days at certain prices. You can see this massive price increase. It just jumped right up in November. Pretty much stayed up there in the thousand dollars plus range. Isn't that amazing.  It went down in January and is more or less flat right now. You can get them on eBay for about 380 bucks right now. Why is that? What's been going on here. We've got scalpers. Obviously, a thousand dollars is a lot higher than the $380 you can get it for right now.  It turns out that there is a huge problem and the problem we're seeing is affecting the entire computer world. There are certain chips for which there is a shortage. Why is there a shortage? Well, it had to do with the lockdown. Companies were trying to figure out, okay, how many of these devices am I going to sell when everybody's locked down?  They miscalculated, frankly. It wasn't a problem with supply. It was that these companies that had been ordering these components cut their orders back or stopped them entirely.  You've got Sony and others out there, Microsoft's console as well, trying to find the parts. They have had a very hard time. Well, what happens when it's hard to find something? Either the quality is going to go down to keep the price the same or the price is going to go up. There's only a couple of ways that it really can go.  They're estimating right now that these constraints on the supply chain are probably going to last for a few more months. We've seen it big time in the computer world, particularly in the storage space. You may not be aware of it, but there are, of course, hard disks that aren't really disks called SSD, which is a solid-state disk. Okay. You probably know about that. I wrote up a thing, in fact, Because people were asking me about what to buy, to upgrade their computers.  If you have a slower computer, putting an SSD in is usually a very good idea, but there are many grades of SSDs.  In fact, I've got a little document. If you want it to send an email to me@craigpeterson.com. I'll be glad to send you a copy. I wrote this for one of our clients. It drives me crazy. They need a new computer, in this case, a desktop. So they say, Hey Craig, can you guys go ahead and work us up a quote? So we look at what they're using the computer for. We look at the longevity of that computer so that they get the best bang for their buck and usefulness. How useful is it going to be? Is it going to be offline just five minutes a day, by the way, adds up to over $2,000 a year for just an average salary of a data entry worker.  It adds up pretty quickly if it goes down.   We put together this proposal and this was for a customed Dell machine and we specify all of the components that go into it. That's an important thing to remember because these components all have varying levels of quality.  We sent them the quote and we've done this before, right? Who's the fool here, them or us. They said no. I went to the Dell site and I got this special going on and then I can get the same computer for 300 bucks. Not true. It's not true. Now, you guys are the best and brightest, right? This sort of stuff, you can't compare a Yugo to a beautiful Cadillac right there. There's no comparison between the two, but that's what they were doing. They needed an F150 in order to haul stuff but instead of getting the F150, they just got a little hatchback that they can maybe throw a couple of things in the back, but they needed a big bed pickup truck. That just drives me crazy. So I wrote this probably three or four-page long, a thing explaining why you need to buy the right kind of hardware. Why the stuff that they're selling you at a discount isn't going to work for you and things need to be included, include things like the hardware encryption and SSDs.  Again, I'll send you this report if you want it. Just let me know, call me@craigpeterson.com.  I started this whole thing because we're talking about SSDs. SSDs are not all created equal. Some of these SSDs store one bit per little bubble, if you will. Some of them store two bits on them store three-bit bits. They're all constrained in their lifetime based on how many writes are occurring to that disc.  You've got to look at that as well to figure it out. Now, of course, I got into SSDs because we were talking about the capacity in manufacturing and the shortage that we're seeing right now. If some of these game consoles, there is a shortage in all of these types of disks, there's even a shortage of memory and certain CPUs.  The disc shortage started a few years ago when there was massive flooding in Indonesia. That's where a lot of the hard disks are made. Now, these are the things that spin, right? Now we've got new technology that lets us pack more data into the SSDs.  Whereas we were seeing the hard disk go up in size. I remember my first one was, I think it was five megabytes. It was just, Whoa, how could I have used five Meg and then 10 megabytes? Of course, hard disks, reasonably priced ones tend to 12 terabyte drives and again, multiple different types of drives.  There's the more server-oriented that if there's an error on the disk, the disc stays alive and it repairs itself in real-time in the background. Then there's the stuff you get as consumers where if the disc starts failing, the whole disc goes offline until it fits fixes itself. Then there's real crap. The ones like these green drives from Western digital, that I do not like. I just had confirmation on that this week that are even cheaper, but all of these are hard to get right now.  We will see eventually all of these supplies back in line. The manufacturers can make them. The whole lockdown hasn't really been a problem for them. The problem has been that people aren't ordering because they're afraid during the lockdown that people wouldn't be buying computers. Of course, we found the opposite to be true. Didn't we.  People were buying these consoles to play video games. Buying computers to work from home. Trying to buy network security stuff as well.  That's really changed the whole thing.  When we get back, let's get into we'll get into the InfoSec career a little bit later if you miss it. If you're thinking about getting into information security. Make sure you go online to Craig peterson.com. So you can catch that.  We'll talk about that, but let's do something I think that might affect a lot of people and that's Chrome users, three security problems in the last week. Hey, you guys are the best and brightest. You know what I think about Google and Google Chrome? Just this last week, over one 24 hour period, Chrome had three security problems. We're going to talk about that right now. Hi, everybody. Craig Peterson here.  Google is evil. I've established that I think, before, the things they do, the things they have been doing to us.  Remember their motto used to be, don't be evil. They removed that from the website a couple of years ago. Now, no longer don't be evil. Nowadays they're doing pretty much everything they can to, maybe be evil is a little strong a word, but they're pretty much-doing everything they can to get as much information about you and sell it.  Do you remember his goal? Larry Page when they were starting it up. The goal was okay, where we are going to get all of the world's information and democratize it. Make it available for everyone, anyone out there who wants to get at it. Frankly, it's been pretty good until fairly recently. At which point I switched over to duck duck go.  Chrome is another one of their products. Microsoft frankly, jumped right onto the Chrome bandwagon. What they ended up doing over Microsoft is taking Google's open-source version of the base of Chrome. They call it chromium. It's the guts, if you will, of the Google Chrome browser and they made it available to anyone that wants to get their hands on it. So Microsoft got their hands on it and messed around with it a little bit. As Microsoft is wont to do. They came up with their Edge browser. The latest Edge is really Google Chrome in disguise.  There are others out there too. You probably know if you've been through one of my courses when I'm talking about browsers. The Epic browser is a pretty good browser. It is designed to be more or less safe. But we go into that a lot more detail. In which cases is it not et cetera. Some people have used the Tor browser, which ties into the Onion network that provides even more anonymity. So there are options. Of course, Safaris available from Apple for almost every platform now. It is a very fast browser and it does a lot to try and keep your data secure. The same thing's true with Firefox. In the Improving Windows Security Course, I go into the problems with each one of these, including Firefox and what you have to consider.  This past week we had a bit of an issue. If you attended my webinars last year. This would have been in 2020.  I went through some of the privacy plugins that you can use for your browser. You might remember that one of them was something called the Great Suspender. Highly recommended at the time. Got to add that in there because I don't want you to just go grab it.  It was recommended. I used it, extensively on a bunch of different browsers, because what the Great Suspender did is save your machine's memory CPU, frankly, even a little bit of disc I/O when you were on a tab on your web browser, your tab would just respond.  Normally everything looks good, but if you're like me, you probably opened another tab or maybe another window and then another tab or another window. You just dig deeper and deeper as you're looking into something, trying to figure something out.  You might have 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 tabs. Open each one of those tabs represents a different thread, a different process, basically on your computer. That means it's using memory, it's using CPU and it might be also hitting your disk, using your disk. The Great Suspenders said wait a minute, now you haven't used this tab in whatever you set it for, I usually had it about 15 minutes. What I'm going to do now, Yes, I'm going to take a snapshot of this page.  I am going to just release all of the resources that were associated with the page. If you go back to that tab, all you have now is a snapshot, just a picture of what was on the page.  You can see what was on the page and depending on how you configure the Great Suspender, I had it set up so that if I activated a tab again, it would automatically reload that page. You could have had it so that if you got to that picture and you really wanted it, you'd click on it and it would reload the page. Very. Handy.  It allowed you to have hundreds of potentially of tabs open quote-unquote, when in fact they weren't open and they weren't using hardly any resources at all. The Great suspender this last June was sold.  The original person who wrote this thing, and it's a great little really great, actually a little piece of software decided that he wanted to make some money off of it. Why not?  He sold it. It's unclear as to who actually owns it or controls it right now and who he sold it to because the name of the account, the developer account, is the Great Suspender. So that's not going to help you at all.  It started showing some signs of what Google and what people are calling malice, under this new ownership. There was a thread in GitHub that was published in November and GitHub is where so much of this code is stored, right. It started to show some signs of frankly, of malice under this new ownership. They said that a new version contained malicious code that tracked users and manipulated web requests.  Now the Great Suspender did normally manipulate web requests, in order to keep everything flowing and smooth. So you might go to a website and then it suspends it, and it might use a different URL and the URL is going to cause the Great Suspender inside your browser to be called. Okay.  So I'm not sure what they mean about the manipulation here, but Google removed it. It's gone like that and no warning or anything else just within the last week. They completely removed the Great Suspender, not just from the store, they removed it from your machines where you were using it.  It said this - the extension contains malware, that's the only warning they gave. That is the only background they gave. They really haven't said a whole lot. People, by the way, who were using the Great Suspender were really left in a lurch because any suspended tabs when Google went bye-bye, any suspended tabs you had were a lost. How's that for a terrible thing? Absolutely terrible.  There is a Reddit thread out there that you can see.  They talk about how you can get your tabs back. So if you had followed my advice back then and put it on, good for you.  However, the problem is that it turned out to ultimately be malicious. So that's a big deal.  Remember I said three security problems in 24 hours, Google on Thursday, released a Chrome update that fixes what it called a zero-day vulnerability in the browser. This is another buffer, overflow problem. If you're programming, you know what that means in version eight, which is Google's open-source Javascript engine, and they rated it as high. Again, Google didn't say much about what the vulnerability was. Probably didn't want to encourage people to try and use it, but they said it was existing in the wild. That's not very good.  Then sync abuse, a security researcher reported on Thursday as well. Hackers were using malware that abused the Chrome sync feature to bypass firewalls so the malware could connect to command and control servers. Not good.   If you are using, if you have Chrome, I have it because I have to, cause I have to test things out.  If you are using it, make sure it is up to date. Most of the time Chrome will update itself, but this week is one where you should double-check Chrome and make sure it really has been updated. Cause these are some pretty nasties. All right.  I'm sure you're familiar with Senator Amy Klobuchar. She ran for President, under of course the Democrat ticket, this last election cycle. She is targeting big tech, at least. That's what she says. We'll talk about the reality. Hello everybody. Craig Peterson here. Thanks so much for joining us today. I really appreciate it. And I appreciate hearing from you as well. Any questions? I have so much information to give you guys we're starting some training courses, free email training, just everything me@craigpeterson.com. Any questions as well and visit me online at Craig peterson.com.  Senator Amy Klobuchar, is a Democrat from Minnesota and she has introduced a bill here in Congress and supposedly big tech is in her crosshairs. Now I think that's really funny because it's not in reality. Okay.  Here's an article from ARS Technica a very good website, by the way, on some of the tech. It says not only our major firms, such as Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Google under investigation for allegedly breaking existing antitrust law.  A newly proposed bill in the Senate would make it harder for these and other firms to become so troublingly large in the first place.  If you've been listening to me for a while, I have friends that have been absolutely destroyed by some of these big tech firms. Where companies have gone ahead and then announced a product because they found, Oh, wait a minute. These guys over here, they're doing pretty darn well with that product. Let's see if we can't figure out if there's really a market forward or not end up, they're competing with us. So here's what we'll do. Let's go ahead and announce. We're going to have a product and it's going to be better than their product, and you can get it from us and you can rely on us. Don't pay attention to that small company over there. They are entirely unreliable.  All of a sudden that small company's sales plummet because people are waiting for big co to come up with their version of whatever it might be. Then they'll compare it to and maybe buy it a bit later on.  That's a way that many of these companies have grown and grown in a very big way.  Senator Klobuchar introduced this bill called Clara. Should have called it Clarice. The competition and anti-trust law enforcement reform act. This would be the largest overhaul to the US antitrust legislation in almost 50 years if it became law. It's interesting because her statement says while the United States once had some of the most effective antitrust laws in the world. Our economy today faces and massive competition problem.  I'm a little confused here. It looks like she is asking for competition. I don't know. I don't understand it. I thought she was one of these far-left ones. I remember the debates quite well. They're looking at expanding resources. In other words, give them more money at the federal trade commission, the department of justice in their antitrust division. They're looking to pursue a review of more mergers, more aggressively. Now my knee jerk reaction is, these big companies usually we'll fail. They usually just keep getting greedier and bigger. Look at what happened to GM. They went bankrupt and unfortunately, they use tax dollars to bail them out. Chrysler has gone bankrupt twice, and they've used our tax dollars to bail them out. I don't think that's a good idea.  Remember our tax dollars mean our time. We have to put in our time, we can't spend with our families. Time, we cannot spend on vacation. Time we cannot spend relaxing. It takes our time now, where we have to work to make money, to give to the government, to bail out companies that are failures. What the government decided to do rather than let these bigger companies fail as they ultimately always do. If you're old enough, you'll remember back in the seventies and eighties, IBM, too big to fail. They owned the business, the computer business in the sixties and seventies, and they just fell off the edge. Didn't they? That usually happens.  I'm not sure a hundred percent is going to happen with the social media companies but I suspect they are. Look at what's happening right now. If you have kids that are under 20, do they have a Facebook account? Even in their thirties, under 20-year-olds, they don't use Facebook anymore. Facebook is likely to die off unless they change in a big way. So what's Facebook do? They buy competitors. They buy WhatsApp. We've talked about WhatsApp before and my thoughts on that. They buy Instagram. They buy competitors and they use competitors too. Change their business model a little bit and move laterally rather than vertically. That's not a bad idea in business.  Frankly, most businesses expand their product line, expand their way of doing things by acquiring successful small businesses. So I get that. I think that's wonderful.  But what the Senator is proposing is that we have the government decide if a business should be allowed to acquire another business. There is a line in there where I agree with her. I'm not a hundred percent sure where that line should go. We've had antitrust laws here in the United States since 1800s, a very long time. The Sherman act short and simple back then it made it illegal to monopolize or attempt to monopolize or conspire to monopolize the market. I liked that one. How about if you're defining the market? There's two sides to this, one side often overlooked.  You've got the side of the supplier. You've got Facebook or GM or whoever. You say Facebook is the 800-pound gorilla. They own this market. So what should you do about Facebook? That's what she's trying to figure out here. What should we do? They're saying we should have a government regulator decide if it's a monopoly or not. We know how well that ends up working. You end up with a revolving door, the regulators working for the corporations, and then going back to the regulators right back and forth. It's absolutely crazy. That side of it.  There is another side and this other side is frankly not that new, but it has gotten worse more recently. It's called a monopsony. What this is where you have a lot of suppliers. So you'd have a whole lot of Facebook' for instance, but only one purchaser. You said, Craig, what are you talking about? We're the best and brightest. I'm not quite sure where you're going with this.  Here's where we're going. Monopsony is typified by Walmart. Walmart is well-known as a company that you do not want to sell to.  If you're a small business, you look at it, say, Oh yeah we got Walmart. They're going to sell our product. Okay. Okay. Great for you. It's not wonderful. Walmart took out every rubber hose they had, and they beat the supplier over the head and shoulders and back until they capitulated.  Walmart was routinely criticized for this forcing vendors to lower prices until it became unsustainable. I can think of a few of these products right off the top of my head. Do you remember Rubbermaid, right? It was the. The dominant force for those rubber containers at Walmart. Then all of a sudden it wasn't there anymore. Do you remember that? Because they couldn't sell it to Walmart at the prices Walmart wanted it at. That's one way Walmart keeps the prices low. With this monopsony problem. We're talking about a lot of companies that make competing products, but there's really one 800 pound gorilla. That's buying it. Walmart has a huge share of the US retail market.  Of course, now they've been one-upped by our friends over at Amazon. Amazon is there now in that kind of the same position. If you're going to sell something, you pretty much have to have it on Amazon. Amazon's basically going to dictate how much you can sell it for. Isn't that interesting. By the way, that word monopsony dates back almost a hundred years as well. Antitrust laws have never addressed the idea of this kind of anti-competitive behavior from the bottom-up direction. It's an interesting way.  So what do I think is the way to go on all of this stuff? First of all, we'll see if it ever becomes law. They tried something similar with a bill back in 2019, and it didn't get very far. With the Democrats controlling the white house, the house of representatives, and the Senate. The idea of reform being passed is more feasible, but there's one other side to this.  This goes back to my friends who have had their businesses effectively stolen by large companies. That is when we're looking at more regulation, which is exactly what she's proposing. More regulators, more money going to the regulators. They're making the entire marketplace harder.   If you're a small company and do you have to comply with all of these new rules, you now have to make all of these regulators happy. What are the odds? You're going to be able to do that compared to the big guys.  The big guys can quite easily afford all of the attorneys, all of the regulatory compliance people, everybody that's needed. But you can't.  So the big companies love this sort of thing because the regulations make it easier for them to keep competitors out of the market.  They're keeping competitors out of the market. We've already established that they're buying competitors, so they don't have to compete with them.   Now we're going to make matters worse with this Klobuchar bill. By doing what? By increasing regulation, making it harder to compete.  I propose that we'll actually have more monopolies after this. I would much rather just keep it simple and watch out for monopolies.  If a company makes mistakes and is going under, let it go under. Any parts of that company that have any value will be sold. That's what bankruptcy laws all about. If, someone who's thinking about maybe getting into an information security career. Or maybe you're looking at another career because right now there are millions of jobs open in InfoSec. We're going to talk about it. What do I wish I knew? Hi everybody, Craig Peterson here. Thanks so much for joining me.  You probably know that I have been in information security for a very long time. It started out as I had to protect my own company. When I got nailed 30 years ago with what was called the Morris worm. If you've been on any of my webinars where I do a little background, you heard my story there. It just scared me to death. I almost lost a bunch of clients because of this worm.  The worm is a piece of software that gets onto a computer and then spreads to other computers. Nowadays, we have a lot of things that act like worms. For instance, ransomware gets in and starts to spread. We have all kinds of bad guys that are doing the same thing. They'll get onto a machine in your network. Then they'll manually start looking around and seeing what you have, what file servers you have. Oh, let's connect to the G drive or whatever you call that file server drive or shared drive. They will look through your files and just the rest of the story, right?  You guys are the best and brightest. You really are. So here's where I come down. I think there is a lot of opportunities here and I did a little presentation for a mastermind group. I'm a member of last week.  I talked about a guy that became a friend of mine who is in his late fifties is right around 60 years old and decided he needed a new career. His prior career had literally disappeared. They had just been destroyed. He was in retail and he was managing a store and he had a lot of clients.  Of course, that job went away and he was looking for, what do I do next? He's been listening to me for a very long time on the radio and decided that maybe he should look into an InfoSe career. So he did.  I used him as a case study with my mastermind group. What should people be looking to do and how can I help them? So I figured let's do this because I saw an article in Dark Reading. That's one of my favorite websites for all of these articles on security. They were talking about exactly that, what should I be doing now, if I want a security career?  What are the things I should know and do?  The author of this is Joan Goodchild, an easy name to pronounce.  What happened to her? She points out, do you know information security can be really rewarding?  I absolutely agree with that. It is a thankless job, you miss one thing and something gets in. Someone brings it from home you don't quite have everything in place or everything up to date.  The biggest problem I've seen and I see with this friend of mine that I talked about in the mastermind is that we don't think we know enough. It's something called imposters syndrome. You've probably heard of it. It exists in a lot of different facets of our lives, not just in careers.   So he has imposter syndrome, as do a lot of people who are in cybersecurity because there's so much to know.  That's why I've said forever businesses cannot do cybersecurity.  Antivirus isn't going to work for you. Basic firewalls are not going to work for you. Even if you have the right equipment in place if you don't know how to manage it and set it up. All of this stuff, it's just not possible to do.  Maybe you should look at a security career, cybersecurity.  Let's run through some of the things that she put in there. Of course, I'll add my little side things, but she asked a bunch of people in cybersecurity, specifically what do you wish you would have known when you first started. Here's Gregory Touhill, president of Applegate, federal Brigadier general retired in first, us CSO under president Barack Obama, CSO is the chief information security officer for the federal government. He said. I love this quote. Cybersecurity is a full-contact team sport. There is no single person who is an expert on all of the various aspects of the area of the discipline. Once I got over myself and recognize that I couldn't do it all, I focused on building the right team of experts to solve issues before they become problems. That revelation triggered great future success. So there you go.  I think that's absolutely phenomenal to remember. You're going to have imposter syndrome if you decide to go into this, but the bottom line is to work with a team. If you can find a vendor like me, that knows what they're doing, that has people that can help you out because you cannot just be out there yourself. Next point here. This is from Wayne Pruitt, cyber-range, technical trainer in North America.  I've seen him before. He's been on one of my webinars where I was teaching about cybersecurity. To be effective in cybersecurity you need to have an understanding of all areas of information technology. Boy, is that true? If an analyst does not understand how a web application communicates with a database on the backend, how will he know if the traffic he's seen is normal or malicious? Without this understanding, analysts are just relying on security tools to make the determination. Hopefully, those tools are configured correctly. Sometimes you have to learn the basics. Don't understand the more complex. Again, this goes into you've got to have a team. You have to have multiple people who can help out at different levels because frankly, you can't know it all. Going back to that the general Brigadier general, he had such a good point. Next up is a chief strategist at Point 3 security.  Her name is Chloe Messdaghi. I really wish I knew how little diversity and inclusion were practiced. When I first entered the industry, many of us in our current organizations are now working for to improve the situation are gaining ground. But within my first year, I felt like I had entered the 1940s. I personally think this is ridiculous.  Men are attracted to certain things and certain careers, women, the same thing. There are some careers that are dominated by women and some that are men. One of my daughters works with me and she is a cybersecurity analyst and she's just finishing some more training. In fact, our people tend to spend about a third of their time in training and she's very good and it has nothing to do with the fact that my daughter's a girl. So come on, quit seeing sex and seeing the race everywhere. It's just crazy. It's out there and she's right there aren't many women that are in this career.  Next up here, Lakshmi Hanspal. She is CSO of a company called Box whom I have used before. They've got some very good products for file sharing. I switched over to Dropbox. I like some of the stuff a little bit better having come from a traditional stuff background.  It was not until I entered higher leadership roles and began formulating hiring strategies that I realized the more diverse teams solve the toughest challenges, skills, such as critical thinking, how to manage risk trade-offs and cybersecurity not being a zero-sum game are extremely fundamental and understanding and thriving in the security industry. It is obvious she spent some time writing that and trying to put in lots of big words.  She is right. We when we're talking about diversity in this case, what she's talking about are the diversity of skills, critical thinking, managing trade-offs, and understanding that we all have to work together on a team in the cybersecurity field. I thought she had a really great point.  Next up, we have Josh Rickard security research engineer over at Swimlane. I wish I knew and understood that an organization's priorities are guide rails for information security teams, as with most starting in InfoSec. I wanted to solve all the security issues I came across, but this is impossible. Understanding business priorities while communicating potential risks is critical. Okay. But helping the business with those priorities gives you credibility. Wow.  I'm going to save that one, frankly, because that is something that we all need to remember. I've had people on my team that was just a hundred percent focused on doing the right thing, quote unquote, on the cybersecurity front, and to them, the right thing was to make sure there are no holes. So I can see that from a certain perspective. And again, back to the diversity of thought, having someone like that on your team is a good idea, but it does have to be tempered.  Mary Writz VP product development over at ForgeRock. When I started 20 years ago as a penetration tester at IBM. I wondered how I even got the job because I did not feel qualified in hindsight. No one was truly qualified because it was such a young domain. I was hired because of my technical background, my curiosity, my interest, fast forward, 10 years, I was teaching a technical audience how to build hunt teams and I expect everyone in the audience knew more than me. A gentleman in the audience raised his hand and said, you're assuming we know what we're doing, but we don't. After we all laughed, we shared our notes and learned from each other. Wow. So insightful here, because again, she's pointing out.  The curiosity requirement. I think if you're not curious, you're not going to spend the time it takes to investigate and to learn more.   We're going to cover a few more.  You're listening to Craig Peterson and online@craigpeterson.com. We're talking right now about InfoSec, information security. Have you thought about maybe taking up a bit of a new career? Well there are some estimated 2 million open jobs in this one.  Of course, this is Craig Peterson.  We were just talking about this article that appeared in dark reading. Now, dark reading is an online magazine, right? It's a website. And they had this article that I absolutely had to read because it reminded me of someone I know. One of our listeners, who decided he needed a new career. He'd lost his job. He'd been out of work for over a year and he had been managing a retail camera shop and they shut it down. He was stuck. What do I do? He'd been listening to the show for a long time. He decided he wanted to go into information security. He took some courses on it and he got himself a job. A full-time job being the chief IT security guy for this company after just a few months. So that tells you how desperate these companies are. Kind of jerking his chain a little bit, but not right, because he just barely had any background.  If you want me to connect you with him, if you are serious about thinking about one of these careers, I'll be glad to forward your request to him, just to see if he's willing to talk to you. Just email me ME@craigpeterson.com and make sure you mentioned what this is all about. So I know what's going on.  Ran Harel, he's a security principal and product manager over at Semperis said, when I was growing up, I was quite an introvert, by the way, that sounds like a lot of us in it. I didn't realize until much later on in my career, just how great the security and tech community are looking back. I realize how quickly I could have solved so many issues, by just asking on an IRC channel or forum.  IRC is an internet relay chat, a bit of a technical thing, but it's an online chat. I would tell my former self, the problem you are facing now is probably been dealt with multiple times in the past year alone. Don't be afraid to ask the InfoSec community and then learn from them.  That's absolutely true. I found an online IRC channel basically, and they were set up just to talk about CMMC is this new standard that department of defense contractors are having to use. As you probably know, we have clients that are manufacturers and make things for the Department of Defense and they have to maintain security.  It's been interesting going in there answering questions for people and even asking a couple of questions. It is a great resource. This particular kind of IRC is over on discuss. You can find them all over the place. Reddit has a bunch of subreddits. It's dealing with these things, including, by the way, getting into an InfoSec career. So keep that in mind.  There's lots of people like myself that are more than willing to help because some of the stuff can get pretty confusing. All right. The next one. Is from Cody Cornell, chief security officer, and co-founder over at swimlane. He said, apply for jobs. You are not qualified for everyone else is. Man. I have seen that so many times everybody from PhDs all the way on, down throughout a high school and who have sent me applications that they were not even close to qualified for. Now, you can probably guess with me, I don't care if you have a degree. All I care about is can you do the work. Can you get along with the team are you really going to pull your weight and contribute?  I have seen many times that the answer to that is no, but I've seen other times where, wow, this person's really impressive. So again, apply for jobs you're not qualified for because everybody is. Security changes every day. New skills techniques and the needs of organizations are always shifting. And to be able to check every box from an experience and skills perspective is generally impossible. Looking back at 20 years of jobs in the security space, I don't believe that I was ever a hundred percent qualified for any of them, but felt confident that I could successfully do them.  So keep that in mind. Okay.  Again, imposter syndrome, we're all worried about it. This applies to more than just InfoSec. This applies to every job, every part of life, we all feel as though we're impostors and that we're not really qualified, but the question is, can you figure it out? Can you really do it? Next up here is Chris Robert, a hacker in residence, he calls himself over at Semperis and he says, overall, the most important lessons that I'd tell my younger self are not tech-based. Rather they focus on the human aspect of working in the cybersecurity industry. I think cybersecurity professionals in general, tend to focus on technology and ignore the human element, which is a mistake and something we need to collectively learn from and improve.  I agree with him on that as well. However, we know humans are going to make mistakes, so make sure you got the technology in place that will help to mitigate those types of problems.  Next up, we've got Marlys Rogers. She's CISO over at the CSAA insurance group that's a lot of four-letter acronyms. You are nothing without data. Data is queen. Coming from an insurance person, right? Without hard data, you can only speak to security in more imagined ways or ways. The board and C-suite are aware of in the media cost-benefit is only achievable with related data points. Demonstrating how much we are fighting off and how the tools, processes, and people make that happen. Next up we have Edward Frye, he's CSO over at our Aryaka. When I first started out, I was fairly impatient and wanted to get things done right away. While there are some things that need to be done right now, not everything needs to be done. Now have the ability to prioritize and focus on the items that will have the biggest impact. I think one of the biggest lessons I've learned along the way is while we may need to move quickly, this race is a marathon, not a sprint.  Patience is essential for security pros. I can certainly see that one.  Chris Morgan, senior cyber threat intelligence analyst over at Digital Shadows, despite the way that many in media liked to portray cyber threats, not everything will bring about the end of the world. For those getting into incident response and threats, try to have a sense of perspective and establish the facts before allowing your colleagues to push too quickly towards remediation mitigation, et cetera.  Expectation management amongst senior colleagues is also something you'll frequently have to do to avoid them breaking down over a mere phishing site. The quote, one of my former colleagues try to avoid chicken, little central.   I've seen that before as well.  The next one is things are changing daily and the last one is the perception of security is still a challenge.  So great little article by Joan Goodchild. You'll see it in my newsletter, which we're trying to get out now Sunday mornings. You can click through on the link if you'd like to read more.  As you can see. 2 million open jobs while between one and 3 million, depending on whose numbers you're going at in cybersecurity.  You don't have to be an expert. As I said, one of our listeners went from not knowing much about it at all, he can install windows that's it, to having a job in cybersecurity in less than six months.  I'm doing a special presentation coming up next month for the New England Society of Physicians and Psychiatrists. We're going to be talking a little bit about what we will talk about right now. What can you do to keep your patient information safe?  What can we do as patients to help make sure our data's safe.  You'll also find me on pretty much every podcast platform out there. Just search for my name, Craig Peterson. I have a podcast and it makes it pretty easy. I've found some of them don't understand if you try and search for Craig Peterson, tech talk, some of them do. I've been a little inconsistent with my naming over the years, but what the heck you can find me. It's easy enough to do.   I've got this new kind of purple-ish logo that you can look for to make sure it's the right one. And then you can listen to subscribe, please subscribe. It helps all of our numbers. You can also, of course, by listening online with one of these devices, help our numbers too. Cause it's you guys that are important.  The more subscribers we have, the way these algorithms work, the more promotion we'll get.  I think that's frankly, a very good thing as well.  What do you do if you need to see a doctor, that question has a different answer today than it did a year ago. I won't be able to say that in about another month, right? Because mid-March is when everything changed last year, 2020, man, what a year?  To see a doctor nowadays, we are typically going online, aren't we? You're going to talk to them. So many doctors have been using some of these platforms that are just not secure things like zoom, for instance, which we know isn't secure. Now, the fed kind of loosen things up a little bit under the Trump administration saying, Hey. People need to see doctors. The HIPAA PCI rules were loosened up a little bit in order to make things a little bit better. Then there's the whole DSS thing with HIPAA. All of these rules are just across the board are loosened up.  That has caused us to have more of our information stolen.  I'm going to be talking a little bit about this FBI, actually multi-agency warning that came out about the whole medical biz and what we need to be doing. Bottom line, Zoom is not something we should be using when we're talking to our doctors.  Now, this really bothers me too. Zoom is bad. We know that it's not secure and it should not be used for medical discussions, but Zoom has been private labeling its services so that you can go out and say, Hey, zoom, I want to use you and I'm going to call it my XYZ medical platform.  People have done that. Businesses have done that. Not really realizing how insecure Zoom is. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt here. You go and you use the XYZ medical platform and you have no clue of Zoom. Other than man, this looks a lot like Zoom, that's the dead giveaway. Keep an eye out for that because a lot of these platforms just aren't secure. I do use Zoom for basic webinars because everybody has it. Everybody knows how to use it.  I have WebEx and the WebEx version of it is secure. In fact, all the basic versions, even of WebEx are secure and I can have a thousand people on a webinar or which is a great way to go. It's all secure end to end.  Unlike again, what Zoom had been doing, which is it might be secure from your desktop, but it gets to a server where it's no longer secure. That kind of problem that telegram has, frankly.   If you are talking to your doctor, try and use an approved platform. That's how you can keep it safer. If you're a doctor and you have medical records be really careful. Zoom has done some just terrible things from a security standpoint. For instance, installing a complete web server on a Mac and allowing access to the Mac now via the webserver. Are you nuts? What the heck are you doing? That's just crazy. Just so insecure.  This is all part of a bigger discussion and the discussion has to do with Zero trust architectures.  We're seeing this more and more. A couple of you, Danny. I know you reached out to me asking specifically about zero trust architectures. Now Danny owns a chain of. Coffee shops and his family does as well. He says, Hey, listen, what should I do to become secure? So I helped them out. I got him a little Cisco platform, and second Cisco go that he can use as much more secure than the stuff you buy the big box retailers or your buying at Amazon, et cetera, and got it all configured for him and running. Then he heard me talk at about zero trust and said, Hey, can I do zero trust with this Cisco go, this Muraki go, is actually what it is and the answer is, well so here's the concept that businesses should be using, not just medical businesses, but businesses in general and zero trust means that you do not trust the devices, even the ones that you own that are on your network. You don't trust them to be secure. You don't trust them to talk to other devices without explicit permission.  Instead of having a switch that allows everything to talk to everything or a wifi network where everything can talk to everything, you have very narrow, very explicit ways that devices can talk to each other. That's what zero trust is all about.  That's where the businesses are moving.  There's zero trust architecture, and it doesn't refer to just a specific piece of technology. Obviously, we're talking about the idea that devices, and even on top of that, the users who are using the devices only have the bare minimum access they need in order to perform their job. Some businesses look at this and say that's a problem. I'm going to get complaints that someone needs access to this and such. You need that because here's what can happen. You've got this data that's sitting out there might be your intellectual property. You might be a doctor in a doctor's office and you've got patient records. You might have the records from your PCI your credit card records that you have. I put on. Those are sitting there on your network that is in fact a little dangerous because now you've got something the bad guys want.  It's dangerous if the bad guys find it and they take it, you could lose your business. It's that simple.  They are not allowing you to use the excuse anymore because of COVID. That excuse doesn't work anymore. The same thing's true with the credit card numbers that you have the excuse of I'm just a small business. It's not a big deal. Doesn't work anymore. They are taking away your credit card privileges.  We had an outreach from a client that became a client, that had their ability to take credit cards taken away from them because again, there was a leak. So we have to be careful when you're talking and you have private information, or if you don't want your machine to be hacked, do not use things like Zoom. I covered this extensively in my Improving Windows Security course. So keep an eye out for that as well. If you're not on my email list, you won't find out about this stuff. Go right now to Craig peterson.com. If you scroll down to the bottom of that homepage and sign up for that newsletter so you can get all of what I talk about here and more. Hey, thanks to some hackers out there. Your application for unemployment benefits might've been approved and you didn't apply for it in the first place. Turns out somebody stealing our information again. Hi everybody. Craig Peterson here.  Hey, this is a big concern of mine and I've often wondered because I have not been receiving these stimulus checks. I did not get the first round. I did not get the second round and I contacted the IRS and the IRS says depends on when you filed for 2019. Oh my gosh. Of course, I was a little late filing that year. They still haven't caught up. I guess that's good news, right? That the IRS data processing centers are terrible.  It goes back to aren't you glad we don't get the government we pay for is the bottom line here, but I've been concerned. Did somebody steal my refund?  Did somebody steal my unemployment benefits, did somebody steal my stimulus checks? It is happening more and more. There is a great little article talking about this, where someone had stolen the author's John personal information again. Now we probably all have had our personal information stolen, whether you're aware of it or not. As usual, I recommend that you go to have I been poned.com and pwnd is spelled, pwn, D have I been poned.com and find out whether or not your data has been stolen and is out there on the dark web.  They have a really good database of a lot of these major hacks.  Many of us have been hacked via these credit bureaus and one in particular Equifax who have all kinds of personal information about us, had it all stolen.  It's easy enough for people to steal our identities file fake tax returns. That's why the IRS is telling you, Hey, file your return as soon as possible. That way when the bad guy's file, we'll know it's the bad guys cause you already filed it. As opposed to you file your tax return and the IRS comes back and says, Oh, you already filed. We already sent you a refund or whatever. You already filed it.  That is a terrible thing to have to happen because now you have to fight and you have to prove it wasn't you. How do you prove a negative? It's almost impossible. At least in this case, hopefully, the check was sent to some state 50 States away, another side of the world. So you can say, Hey, listen, I never been there, then they can hopefully track where it was deposited.  Although now the bad guys are using these websites that have banks behind them, or maybe it's a bank with a website that is designed for people to get a debit card and an account just like that. That, in fact, it's what was used to hack my buddy. My 75-year-old buddy has been out delivering meals and had his paychecks stolen through one of those.  These fraudulent job claims are happening more and more. It's really a rampant scam. We've had warnings coming out from the FBI and they have really accelerated during the lockdown because now we've had these jobless benefits increased, people, making more money staying in their home than they made on the job. Disincentives for working, frankly. He's saying here the author again, John Wasik, that a third of a million people in his state alone were victims of the scam. This is an Illinois. This is where he lives. A third of the people in the state of Illinois, including several people that he knew.  We've got some national tallies underway. I don't know if you've seen these. I've seen them on TV and read about them, California. It is crazy. People were applying for California unemployment that didn't live in the state at all, would come into the state and once you're there in the state pick up the check, right? Cause that's all they were doing. Some people have been caught with more than a million dollars worth of California unemployment money.  Of course, it wasn't a check, it was actually a debit card. The same basic deal and California is estimating that more than $11 billion was stolen. Can you imagine that tens of millions of people could have been scammed because of this? This is the third time the author had been a victim of identity theft and fraud.  He wanted to know how could they get his information. Well, I've told you, check it out on, have I been poned. It'll tell you which breaches your information was in. It does it based on your email address.  It'll also tell what type of data was stolen in those breaches. So it's important stuff. I think you should definitely have a look at it.  He is very upset and I can understand it. Data breaches last year, more than 737 million data files are ripped off according to act.com.  Frankly, that was a digital pandemic, with more and more of us working at home. I just talked about the last segment. Your doctor's office and you are talking to your doctor. How now? Cause you don't go into the office. There are so many ways they can steal it.   The FBI's recording now a 400% increase in cybercrime reports that we had this mega hack of corporate and government systems. This whole thing we've talked about before called the SolarWinds hack, although it was really more of a Microsoft hack, and it went out via SolarWinds as well as other things. Be careful everybody out there. If you find yourself in these breach reports on, have I been poned make sure you go to the website. Set yourself up with a new password. At the very least use a password manager.  I just responded to an email before, when it went on the air today, from a listener who was talking about two-factor authentication.  He's worried about what to use. I sent him my special report on two-factor authentication, but it is the bottom line, quite a problem.  Again, Use one password, use two-factor authentication with one password. Don't use SMS as that and you'll be relatively safe.  I don't know I can't say do this and you'll be safe. I don't think there's any way to be sure your safe.  Having these organizations, businesses, government agencies hacked all the time that don't seem to care about losing our data, right? Oh, it's a cost of doing business,

By living with an Aunt who practiced Santeria in the house where Dan Rivera grew up, he knew that spirits are real. That spirits have power. Also, the living can interact and influence the direction of both good and evil spirits. As Dan grew older, he knew he wanted to use his knowledge and gifts to help those afflicted by ghosts. He has done so by following in the steps of Ed and Lorraine Warren as the lead investigator of the New England Society for Paranormal Research. Today we discuss demons, possessions, and the state of the world and the seemingly dark path that we’ve been on and how to protect ourselves from falling victim to the demonic. PART 2 - AVAILABLE TO GRAVE KEEPERS ONLY - LISTEN HERE (http://www.patreon.com/thegravetalks) In part two of our interview, available only to Grave Keepers (http://www.patreon.com/thegravetalks) , we discuss: How are you able to determine if a spirit is just a dark earthbound spirit or something demonic? Can a person who is possessed in life appear to be a demon on the other side? Demons that pretend to be something else, how often is an earthbound spirit something darker in disguise? Oppression and Possession, what are some of the key differences? How can someone identify if the Oppression is being caused by a demonic force and not something that can be identified and fixed through medicine?

 When Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated the Conjuring house, it struck Ed as such an infested location that he joked, “if they ever make a move about our work, it should be about this house.” Many years later, and after Ed’s passing, that comment became a reality. A reality that has sparked numerous movies, books, and investigations into a house that, in some ways, feels like a paranormal playground for investigators. But just as with a playground, the danger exists if things are not done correctly. Today, we hear the story of a recent investigation from Eric Vitale, a member of the team founded by Ed & Lorraine Warren, the New England Society for Paranormal Research. PART 2 - AVAILABLE TO GRAVE KEEPERS ONLY (http://www.patreon.com/thegravetalks)  In part two of our interview, available only to Grave Keepers (http://www.patreon.com/thegravetalks) , we discuss: When Eric heard disembodied voices – are others hearing them too? Why was there so much death on the property of the Conjuring house? Why are certain areas of the house more active than others? Did you have any fear of something following you home from the house? Is Bathsheba the only spirit haunting the house?

Psychotherapist Janina Fisher joins Francesca Maximé for a conversation around defining trauma, working with mindfulness in therapy, and encouraging curiosity. Janina Fisher, PhD is a licensed Clinical Psychologist and Instructor at the Trauma Center, an outpatient clinic and research center founded by Bessel van der Kolk. Known for her expertise as both a therapist and consultant, she is also a past president of the New England Society for the Treatment of Trauma and Dissociation, an EMDR International Association Credit Provider, a faculty member of the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute, and a former Instructor, Harvard Medical School. Learn more about her at www.janinafisher.com. Defining Trauma Francesca welcomes Janina to the show, and asks for her to help define what trauma means. They talk about Janina’s different therapeutic practices and how she combines approaches as needed for the patient. “Trauma is an event so big that it overwhelms the individual’s capacity to cope, and evokes a sense of life or death threat.” – Janina Fisher, PhD Francesca speaks with Dr. Diane Poole Heller about trauma as a portal to spirituality on ReRooted Ep. 3 Mindfulness in Therapy (17:02) Francesca asks Janina about her work with patients who have dissociative identity disorder as they discuss how everyone can get trapped in their own little bubble. They discuss how there are many ways to work with mindfulness in therapy, and how developing awareness can lead to behavioral changes. “Trauma related emotions, thoughts, physical sensations, images, tend to be supercharged. They tend to be overwhelming. So they can be hard to sit with, without some support.” – Janina Fisher, PhD Encouraging Curiosity (36:50) How can we explore trauma on a systemic scale? Francesca and Janina discuss how to find the language to teach mindfulness to different communities. For some cultures, it’s easier to encourage the concept of curiosity, rather than mindfulness. “I was thinking earlier that the whole concept of mindfulness would be perceived by people of color as a white privilege idea.” – Janina Fisher, PhD
