Craig is in the WGAN Morning News with Ken and Matt. This morning we talked about Deep Fake technology and what could happen in the future.  We discussed a new technological type of aversion therapy for breaking bad habits and we talked about Google search and article theft and what Congress is doing.   These and more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com   --- Related Articles: The Problem With Deep Fakes Shock Away Those Bad Habits First Amendment Under Surprise Attack --- Transcript: Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors. Airing date: 06/26/2019 Deep Fakes, Aversion Therapy and Fair Use --- Craig Peterson Hey, Good Morning, everybody. Craig Peterson, here. It is getting close to July. And coming up probably about the second week of July, I'm going to be doing a little bit of an online summer course we're calling it our security summer. It will be free for anyone who wants to attend. I'm trying to do this for the people who, who can't afford to hire me and I get it. There's a lot of people out there. But it's this. It is going to be mostly a business course.  Yesterday, when I was speaking to a CEO mastermind group, there were a lot more in attendance than I had thought there would be and it went very, very well. Although it did not surprise me that they weren't entirely aware of all of the risks and what's going on. In retrospect, as I think about it, I probably should have put more positive stuff in the presentation. I tried to stress how they could lose their entire business due to their lack of awareness. Many of these are small to medium private companies, and that means it's their retirement, it's their money that's on the line. I tried to stress that they can no longer continue to coast. Anyways, this summer, we're going to teach you the things you need to know the things you need to do and how to do them. So keep an eye out for that. There's a sign up now, on my homepage at Craig Peterson dot com at the very top, you can sign up to get on my email list, you'll get my weekly show notes, and whenever anything really, bad is happening, you'll find out about it as well by email. You will also find out when I'm offering these free courses, or some of the paid ones as well, I'll let you know, believe me, I'm not hounding you.  You know, some of these internet marketers are sending an email every day forever, you know, I might send you an email every day when there's something big going on. But other than that, it just doesn't happen. It's usually a weekly email and may average out to maybe two a week if something big is happening. But hopefully, you will find my emails informative. It's not the sort of thing you can get from your smart uncle. So we are going to go now to our friends over at WGAN and, and talk a little bit with them. And we're going to talk about Google and newspapers, the big fight that's coming up, aversion therapy, and the deep fake problem is hitting Hollywood and where does this lead us ultimately, so here we go. Matt Gagnon And we're back 738 WGAN and Morning News with Craig Peterson. He is our tech guru and joins us now as he always does on Wednesdays at this time to go over the world of technology. Craig Peterson. How are you this morning, sir? Craig Peterson A good morning.  I am doing well, Matt. I like this weather. I'm not an 80s 90s kind of guy. I love it in the 70s a beautiful, dry, day. That's my idea. Matt Gagnon  I get the 80s and 90s as well, Craig.  I love the 90s and hundreds I love it when it's 100 degrees. Ken Altshuler That's because you guys weren't born raised in Oklahoma, which is why Matt Gagnon Oh, it's a dry heat. Ken Altshuler It's not a dry heat. Craig Peterson  It's crazy and not a dry heat. No, no, no, no. They get a lot of humidity. And it gets frigid in the winter. It does. Ken Altshuler Yeah. And by the way, Craig it has it's been 80 degrees, like twice. Where do they get humidity? Well, some irrigation, but also the Gulf? Yes, it does.  Craig Peterson I remember I lived in pretty much northern Canada for a lot of my life. And we would get the warm, humid air would come up from the south, you know, those American clippers? Matt Gagnon Canada, the Arctic?  Craig Peterson Well, yeah, I won't go quite that far. I was about halfway up to the Arctic Circle. So I remember days when the high was 30 below zero, and I was walking to school. If you Matt Gagnon   Don't mind me asking, but why would anybody live there on purpose? Craig Peterson Well, it's not that bad, you get used to it. I guess it's not that I would rather have it be cold than hot. When it's cold, you can always put on another layer of clothes, Matt Gagnon Lots of clothing that you have to put on when the high was minus 30. Craig Peterson  Well, I had a parka. I'd wear the parka. It had a hood on your head. It goes in front of your face, and it goes out to a little tube that's maybe about six inches wide that you kind of look through and breathe out of so that you don't get frostbite on your face or your nose or anything. Matt Gagnon What a fantastic way to live, Craig. Craig Peterson In the summer, we'd get to 75 degrees, and it'd be just absolutely beautiful. You go to the Calgary Stampede, Matt Gagnon Which I did too, by the way. Craig Peterson  Yeah, I haven't been there since the 70 something I've been there since the 70s. But yeah, it's, you know, it's different. And I've been watching this Ice Plane show where they fly these old DC three and four planes from World War Two. They're flying around up there in the Canadian Arctic. It brought back memories, and I thought you know, it isn't so bad. It's a problem. Maybe what happens can is you kind of get gas-lit you don't know any better. Matt Gagnon By the way, why are deep fakes not a laughing matter? I'm curious. Craig Peterson Here's what's been going on you guys. I think even talked about that Nancy Pelosi video right? Where she was slurring her speech, and go, you know, drunk and everything a little different, though. That's not it. That's da that was a manipulated video where they slowed her down and cut it a little bit. But actually, it's a fake. Yeah, exactly. So a lot of people have heard about that one. Well, there's a few more that are out there. Right now. You've got one with our friend Mark Zuckerberg saying whoever controls the data controls the future. Right? That one's a real deep fake because they modeled a face on to him and and and like made it into, like, what a deep fake is.  Matt Gagnon It's like basically taking an actor and having you map their facial stuff to somebody else speaking and using porn quite a bit. Craig Peterson So I have no first-hand knowledge. Yeah, well, that's Photoshop, you know, most of the time, where and people are familiar with this, right? You'll take a picture, and you manipulate it. And some of these models out there say no, I don't want you to do fake me, you know, because it makes women feel inadequate. And yeah, I get that. And also the You see, all of a sudden, wait a minute, they have dimples on their legs, and maybe they're Pfizer a little sicker than you thought they were. So we've had those for a while. No, Ken Altshuler No, no, I hate to disagree with you on that one, Craig. But what he's referring to is the deep fake thing in pornography. Like they're putting like Taylor Swift on regular porn, a porn actress. And I've seen this and making it into the because these facial mapping technologies come so far now that and it's so cheap.  Craig Peterson Absolutely. Well, I'm glad you guys are well familiar with porn. I've only seen them in pictures for models. Now you can go online to YouTube. And you can see Game of Thrones actor who played, of course, Jon Snow, his name's Kevin Harrington, on there apologizing about all of these problems and mistakes in season eight of Game of Thrones. What they're doing is what Matt was saying. They take my mapping of your face and the mapping. Simple, right? It isn't like Lord of the Rings, where they had golf balls all over the guy that was playing that character Golem. Then they had to computers and spent over 100 million dollars spent in the development of the software over to make Gollum on screen. What we're talking about is what you can do right now today with some free software and do it on just a regular computer. And basically, you can make anyone say anything? I think that might be what's happening with some of those supposed tweets that are coming from our president? Matt Gagnon   Do you think they might? Ken Altshuler I would say not because he's known to say things like that. Craig Peterson Here's the problem now, right? If he's known to say things like that, and you can't trust this technology anymore, and we have deep fakes and let's say President Trump is saying things like the bombs are going to start dropping in 15 minutes, which is basically what President Ronald Reagan said years ago. How is someone like Iran going to know whether or not this is a deep fake? And there's been a lot of work going on on this because it has become such a problem on the government on the military side, and they're spending money now to try and figure out how they can tell us deep fake. We've got people in universities right now, doing just that. In one university, they created a couple of neural networks. In other words, artificial intelligence machines, they had one machine making deep fakes. And they had another machine analyzing them to see if something was a deep fake.  They were sharing back and forth. They got good at making deep fakes, where you want your video, and it, you can even change the head movement and everything else in the video, it isn't just like stick a head on top of an actress of Taylor Swift face on top of an actress. They can now manipulate what they're doing where the moving and make it look exactly like that person unless you look very closely, you can't tell. And when I say closely I mean, you can go in and examine it pixel by pixel. So we've got some potential problems here. We could have Russia, China, North Korea, Zimbabwe, go ahead and create a deep fake of our president or someone else threatening war. And this, this could get very dangerous very quickly. Matt Gagnon  We're talking to Craig Peterson, our tech guru, who joins us now as he always does on Wednesdays to discuss the world of technology.  So, Craig, I have a nasty Mountain Dew habit, if I wanted to kick my Mountain Dew habit, should I be shocking myself as though I'm in some medieval shock therapy? Is this Pavlovian to the extreme? What is this idea that, that I've heard about where you would shock yourself into the kicking horrible habits? Craig Peterson Well, this is about the Pavlock bracelet. We've known about aversion therapy for a long time, and I've used it myself. Have you ever taken a rubber band, put it on your wrist when you're trying to break a habit? You snap it when tempted, or a particular thought comes around? Whether its food or your mountain dew? Do you guys have bad habits? Ken Altshuler I have no bad, I don't hate myself.  Craig Peterson It's a fairly common thing. And the idea is, you want to train your brain, that when you're thinking about having that smoke or when you're thinking about eating that food, whatever it might be, that chocolate cake, you snap yourself on the wrist using the rubber band, and it does work to a degree.  Well, there's now a company out there that has an aversion therapy bracelet. It's called pavlok. Spelled pa-v-L-ok. It has a lightning bolt button on the front of it. When you hit the lightning bolt button, and it sends a shock right into your wrist. And the idea is that every time you think about that something, or you start making a particular bad habit, whatever it might be, you shock yourself to help you change your habit. Why? Your brain is going to associate it, the action or the thought instead of associated with pleasure is going to be associated with pain, and you will do it less. It is just a theory, but aversion therapy has worked for many years in the past. For those who don't have much self-discipline, you can have your friend, your spouse installs the Pavlok app up onto their smartphone and can use it as a remote control to shock you as you're wearing the bracelet. So you know self-control? I don't know. So if your spouse can, if she gives you a Pavlok, you might not want to because she can trigger the 350-volt shock. I think it's worth shot for some. I was going to say shock. But that would be just too bad. If I was morbidly obese and I wanted to quit eating this costs 200 bucks so isn't exactly cheap. But it's probably worth doing. And I  certainly would try it. But it's kind of neat, man. I think this is a decent idea. Ken Altshuler Craig Peterson, he's our tech guru joins us every Wednesday at 738. So is Google stealing the News from the New York Times? Craig Peterson Oh, man, this thing keeps hitting the News. Because this week, what's happening is they were talking more about this. And here's what's going on the News Media Alliance is going after Google accusing them of stealing the News. If you do Google search, it'll come up, and it will give you results. And some of those results will be swiped directly from websites as well as news sites. And if you go to News, Google com, it's even worse because it's all swiped from news sites. The big question, of course, comes under fair use.  Is it fair use for Google to grab a few sentences from it, and put it up on their website. The New York Times and other news sources, which include local newspapers have said that this is wrong. And it costs them billions of dollars. Because if you add it all up, more than half of the local newspapers have gone out of business, just this look right here in Portland, look anywhere release so much of the US now do not there aren't local papers anymore. So Congress is currently involved. And there is a real bipartisan bill that has been starting to move. There's one in the house, one in the Senate, where they are trying to carve out an exemption to the antitrust laws for newspapers for four years. And the idea is that they can now collude to try and figure out what kind of a business model works. The reason for this is they don't want the local newspapers to be going out of business.  It is the whole right to free speech, which is getting squashed on every side, you look is being hurt by this lack of local newspapers. Maybe they can come up with something that would work. I know, personally, if I could pay 10 or 20 bucks a month, just like I do for streaming music, I would buy one subscription and get all of the newspapers that I want to get right. But I'm not going to pay 10 bucks to New York Times, Washington Post, and you know, all of these guys, as it would end up costing 50 to a hundred bucks a month. On top of that, I have to track all my subscriptions and everything. It's just too complicated. So we'll see what happens here. We've even got a very conservative Senator Kennedy from Louisiana, who was sponsoring this in the Senate. So we'll see where this goes. But I know I don't say this very often. But I can sympathize with a great lady in this case. Hmm, Matt Gagnon  That is a first. All right. Well, Craig Peterson happens to be our tech guru. And he joins us at this time every Wednesday to go over all the things in the world of technology. Craig, today is no exception. Thanks so much for joining the program. And we will talk to you again.

Craig was on with Jim Polito. Today, they discussed the latest tech to help you change behavior and why we must be concerned about Deep Fakes and what they could result in.

Airing date: 06/25/2019 Behavior shock therapy and Deep fakes Craig Peterson Hey, good morning, everybody and a shout out to the UNH CEO group I'm going to be speaking to today. I am Craig Peterson. I am excited about today's presentation because I work with a lot of businesses and unfortunately for CEO's I usually get passed off to the technical people who report to them which means they only get my information and insight second hand and filtered. However, today, I am speaking to a large group of CEO's of some pretty fair sized businesses as a presenter to their mastermind group, and I am honored to be able to speak with them. This morning. I was on with our friend Jim Polito. He has a big radio show down in Massachusetts that covers most of the state, and parts of Vermont, Rhode Island and I think he can be heard in Connecticut too at least in the eastern parts of it. Anyhow, we got busy today talking a little bit about some of the articles in the news. Jim Polito It is one of the most popular segments on the show. I'm talking about our tech talk guru, Craig Peterson. He joins me now. Good morning, sir. Hey, good morning. All right, listen, are you trying to turn me into Pavlov's dog? Are you telling me that I can shock myself of my bad habits? Craig, don't lie. I got them. I got the documents from you. Do you say I can be shocked out of bad habits? Craig Peterson Well, have you ever had a habit like smoking, for instance? Or maybe you ate a little too much? Jim Polito Oh, I never overeat? I was a smoker and quit cold turkey? A long, long, long, long, long time ago. But I yeah, I mean, I have some bad habits. I mean, getting up every morning and doing this show, some people would say is a bad habit. Craig Peterson Well, one of the things that I've used for a while and I've tried this before, and it kind of worked for me actually, for getting rid of a bad habit is to put a rubber band around your wrist. Yes. And you know, so you think about smoking, or you think about eating that chocolate bar or you thinking about something. And all you do is you take the rubber band, you pull it back, and you let go, and it snaps against your wrist. And it's a kind of negative reinforcement. Have you tried that one before? Jim Polito No, but I've seen people do it. I know other people who quit smoking, and they put one of those thick rubber bands around their waist. And every time they think about smoking, they snap that rubber band. Yeah. Negative reinforcement. Craig Peterson Yeah, it's called aversive therapy which is the more scientific name for it. The idea is with that your brain no longer likes the habit does every time you go to do something, you know, you get that negative reinforcement. So there's a company out there called Pavlock now. They have an exciting twist on this one. What Pavlock has is a basic type watch unit, it's kind of it's a little bigger than a watch. But it's designed for the same type of thing you can buy this for 199.99 or 200 bucks. What happens is, when you're thinking about something, you want to break the habit, you push the lightning bolt on it. Now to me, that's a bad sign. This thing's going to send us 350 volts into your arm. And if anything's going to do it, it would be a burst of therapy that had 350 volts onto your wrist. Jim Polito I think my God, I mean, Craig Peterson It gets better, Jim. Jim Polito Go ahead, continue, please. Craig Peterson Okay, here's how it gets better. You can have your friend or your spouse install an app on their smartphone for this thing. You don't have to press that lightning button, and they can open the app. Craig Peterson Here's what happens. Bottom line is everything vibrates and beats, and it zapped until the user gets up and does something that's their morning shot clock. Jim Polito You mean I am sleeping in bed, and you're telling me, I could set it for 3:15 am, which is when I get up, and I'll be laying in bed, dreaming that I'm sitting on some beach, not in the Dominican Republic, but sitting on some beach having a drink and my lovely wife is with me. And then all of a sudden it vibrates and shocks me. Craig Peterson But it gets worse. If your wife gives you one of these as a present, be very careful, she might have installed that app an at any point in talking to me. Jim Polito Yeah, yeah. Craig Peterson I guess the idea is if you start, you know, if you're not brave enough to take it 350 volts jolt, when, when you're picking up that pack of cigarettes, but she is she's just going to hit that button and off it goes. It's available online. Right now, Pavlock P-a-v-L-o-c-k you can buy it now. Jim Polito You know, what people don't realize is the simplest of Pavlov's experiments with the dog was ringing the bell and then feeding it and so and then it got to the point where he would ring the bell, and the dog would salivate because it knew it was going to eat? Well, the other thing he did was electrocute the dog, too. And I won't tell you where he attached the electrodes, but let's say, Pavlov was someone studying behavior and psychology, could have used a little help maybe himself. All right, let's go on to something else. Deep fakes. I found this fascinating. We're not talking about the deep state. We're talking about deep fakes. Please explain that, sir. Craig Peterson Well, this is an exciting new offshoot of technology. And you're going to be seeing these more and more. And it's frankly, going to get dangerous. This technology. I think Jim could start a war. Here's what it is that the idea behind deep fakes is and something that's not new. You've seen photoshopped pictures, and there were a lot of models that said, I want a reasonable photo of me I want people to see what I look like without removing those lumps on my legs and you know, the blemishes and the scars and everything right? They go in and coach Photoshop, which became a picture to make them look perfect, practically perfect in every way. Well, what's happening now is with deep fake, they're able to do some amazing things. Think back to Lord of the Rings. You remember in Lord of the Rings, and there was that character Golem who was crawling around right? And that was a real actor back in the day. Now he didn't look like darling wasn't in a Golem suit. But he had these golf ball like things all over his body. What they did is use a computer to shoot the video, the computer equipment then located these little golf balls that were all over him to figure out how the actor was moving. That's how they made Gollum look like he was moving like it might be a natural character or something. Right. But you know, that was probably 10s of millions of dollars to do Golem back in the day. Today, you can do something very similar for no money. The way it works is you get you all you have to do is have a sample of someone on video. There's one out there right now of an actor Kit Harrington who was the actor who played Jon Snow in Game of Thrones. Well, several people are criticizing season eight of Game of Thrones, myself included. Yeah, I thought that they did a poor job. You can find this right now. If you go to YouTube. You can search for this, and you will see Kit Harrington in costume as Jon Snow in character apologizing for some of the mistakes that people are complaining about in season eight. Jim Polito Like the Korean coffee cup. Yes, stuff. Craig Peterson Exactly. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And you know, the weak scriptwriting some of the other stuff he's complaining about in there. That is called a deep fake. And what it is, is they just took a video of him, and they put somebody they manipulated his face. So they shot a video someone saying those things, and the computer, just a regular desktop computer, superimposed this guy's face and his facial expressions onto Kit Harington. Something very similar was got about, what three weeks ago to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, you remember that one? Oh, yeah. Yeah. And yeah, and so she was anchored or altered, I should say to make a sound like she was slurring her words like she might have been drinking. And that's where I think the whole war thing might come in. Because whoever controls the data controls the future. And that's a quote from CEO Mark Zuckerberg. He was also the victim of a deep fake, himself. Jim Polito Yeah, no, I've heard about this. And, you know, there's a lot we can talk about what we, you know, they could embarrass you or hurt your product. But you went right to what I think is the most important thing about this, you could have a deep fake of a world leader saying something that they never said, that could lead to war, just because that could be a form of terrorism. Say you have Vladimir Putin saying, we're going to attack the United States tonight or something like that? You really could. Craig Peterson Yeah, and it's difficult to tell. What's happening right now is the military, as well as law enforcement, are now both involved with some of the deep fake stuff. And they've come up with some technology to detect the deep fakes, and we might be able to recognize one, okay. But this was is a pertinent point, saying the smaller country like Iran might have no idea how to do that. For instance, look at Iran right now, with this whole thing with the drones. We have the GPS data, and we have the computer-generated maps, we can show you exactly where our drone was. Well, Iran produced a map too. It was hand-drawn by somebody with a crayon saying, here is where the US drone was, yeah. Okay. So, so how do you compare those, where's this going? It is difficult is going to be a game of one-ups-manship. I think within ten years, we're going to have a real problem. One of the things that have been done to try and stop the fake and to help with the detection. At one university, they created two artificial intelligence machines that had neural nets and could self learn. They had one that created the fake, and then they had the other to detect the fake. And they communicated back and forth. The one creating deep fake got very good at it. But the one that was catching these also got very good at it. Jim Polito Oh, my God AI, in five or 10 years from now. Wow. Jim Polito Well, look, folks, there's nothing artificial about Craig Peterson's intelligence, you just got a little bit of it. And you should get on Craig Peterson's list. It's not the naughty list. It's a nice list. He'll send you the information that we discussed today. Plus a whole lot of other stuff. And when there's a big hack or something goes wrong, you've got Craig Peterson on your side, he won't sell your name. He won't do anything else with it. But you should text My name, Jim, to this number Craig Peterson 855-385-5553. That's text Jim to 855-385-5553 Jim Polito Standard data and text rates apply, and it's a great thing to do. Craig, fascinating segment today. I look forward to talking with you next week. Craig Peterson Thanks. Take care, Jim. Jim Polito You too, Bye-bye. All right, folks. Don't go anywhere.

Airing date: 06/22/2019 Republicans and Democrats are getting together to save the news industry, Walmart is competing with Amazon on food delivery, and Single sign-on versus 2F-A. ---- Hello, everybody, Craig Petersson, here. We have another jam-packed show for today. We are going to discuss some of the technology that's affecting our lives, including, of course, some security stuff just some amazing things. Did any of you catch the tweeted story from Samsung this week? Well if you did, you got it before they deleted the tweet. We're going to talk about today. Hey, if you have a Samsung SmartTV, you're going to want to hear this. We've got Google trying to go after Apple but in the end praising them for what they are doing in the same competitive arena. That's going to open up a whole topic of discussion on two-factor authentication and single sign on's. I'm going to go through it and explain it to you today. We will talk about the difference between software and hardware tokens, Google Authenticator, some of the other competitors out there so that you can understand what's going on and what it's all about. It is an important topic everybody needs to understand. I also came across another article this week that had an interesting take on our First Amendment and the state of affairs in Washington DC and the Republicans and Democrats. It appears they are having a harder and harder time getting along much these days. However, it looks like there is a bill moving through Congress that is going to affect you the way you use Google, your Facebook account, and even the news in your local town. We'll delve into what that is all about. I have to tell you about this little bracelet, called the Pavlock. Deep fakes are in the news again. Here's another big thing, too. I should do some little small webinars on these. But man, it might be time to switch to a privacy browser. We'll to spend a bit of time talking about those today. I'm going through the clock in my head thinking man, and we are not going to have time to do all of this. Oh, and Walmart, we have to talk about this. Absolutely. Let's talk about it right. By now you know that we have some, just Goliath, some behemoth companies that are out there. That includes retail giants like Walmart and Target who've been fighting with each other over market share, of course, for a long time. If you know anything about marketing and color choice, you know, you always choose the opposite color. Did you know that they make whole color wheels specifically for figuring out the exact contrasting color of your competition? If your competitors' logo color is blue, then you use red. The other two colors that used are yellow and green. It's interesting to look at that, and I found that analysis quite interesting. Anyway, we have these two big competitors, Target is Red, and Walmart is Blue. Doesn't that go against the whole red-state blue-state thing based on shoppers? Both, of course, have added online stores. If you think about another large company, who could have owned the online business world had they made different decisions it would have been Sears Roebuck. Think about it. Sears had a vast catalog and distribution business that had been successful for 100 years plus before Amazon was even an idea. Amazon kind of nailed retailers, including Sears. Now Amazon Prime with their purchase of Whole Foods and their online service from Amazon is starting to eat the lunch of both Target and Walmart. So both of them are fighting back. Walmart's now taking aim at Targets product called shipped, spelled shIPT. They are providing for it looks like it's going to be $98 per year for unlimited delivery service. Right now they have a service that is ten bucks or $9.98 or something to have all your stuff delivered to you if you go to one of their stores that offers grocery pickup. Right now, it is available in about 2500 Walmart stores, and you can go and pick up your order for free. However, what a convenience this is going to be. Right now it's only being offered in a few markets, Houston, Miami, Salt Lake City and in Tampa. The pricing may change, well, probably will change. Target just lowered the pricing of their InstaCart shIPT, as well. We'll see how this all goes but unlimited delivery of your groceries. Wow!. You might have seen on the news that they are proposing that their delivery people will wear a camera can go right into the home and stock your fridge. However, for those of you that are crazy busy and don't even have time to swing by Walmart or Target to pick up groceries, Walmart anyways is going to put them right into your refrigerator. You can watch them on your computer or smartphone as they're in your home. I find that a little bit nerve-wracking. But you know, I'm nervous. Let's think back a little bit. We were house shopping some years ago. And we were looking at homes in downtown Nashua, which is down in Southern New Hampshire in about the center of the state. We looked at some beautiful old houses, and you know, they don't make them like that anymore. I course you know I went into the basements and up into the attics, I want to see what are the beams like and how's it been held together. We looked at one home that had the logs, yes full old trees that were holding the floors up and some of the floors were warped because of that they were just so old. These homes were a few hundred years old. But these homes in Nashua were very well built. Some of the beams in them were 6x8, and some were even bigger than that. It was of course, very dry wood because it was over 100 years old, just beautiful. But one of the things they had in them was a butler's pantry with an outside entrance where the ice delivery guy put the ice. They didn't have to enter your home. He could open a little door that opened right into the back of your refrigerator. Do you remember those? I know, of course, you never really used them, unless you're one of my very much older audience. But the refrigerator would have a block of ice at the top. And of course, the cold air would come down from the ice and keep the stuff in your icebox cooler. They had direct access into the icebox from outside. Why don't we do that? I am sure someone can come up with a refrigerator, or you know a locked butler's pantry, or something so that Walmart or another third party can enter that part of the home or at least gain access to the fridge without having full access to the house. I think that's just a great idea. We've seen them already, Amazon and others doing deliveries into a garage. I know many homes have an entrance at the front, particularly when you get further north, up in Canada. There they are a popular solution to keep the cold air from filling your home as you you're come in from the cold outside. It is a place that you can take off your big heavy boots and everything else. It's only partially heated. And then you can go into the house and then take off your coat and everything else, you know, something like that, wouldn't that be great? A place, like that, you could give access to these delivery people. With Walmart, you're must buy their $200 door lock that you put on your front door that allows them to gain access to the house. How about if they only had access to a pantry? What a great new design concept? Flashback 150 years, I think that's kind of cool. For $98 a year, I might seriously consider signing up for this and see how it goes. You know, Whole Paycheck. I mean, Whole Foods might not be the best ones to have your weekly grocery delivery from unless you have a small family and a lot of income, then why not? All right, that I think that might make some sense. Before we get into our big topics, let's go through a couple more real kind of quick ones. What is happening in Congress? Here is an article I found out in the Salt Lake Tribune, an opinion piece. It was talking about the News Media Alliance. Now, this is an alliance that represents some 2000 news publishers, mostly local newspapers, but also has some national papers, including the Washington Post, and also includes some digital-only news site. What the news media alliances been saying is, "Hey, listen, look at the newspaper industry." Have you guys seen the stats on this? It is crazy how many newspapers have gone out of business in the last ten years. According to Pew Research, newsrooms have lost nearly half of their staffs in the last ten years, and since 2004, so the last 15 ish years, the US has lost about 1800 newspapers, and that's mainly weekly papers, these weeklies tended to be our local papers. In the town I live in, we used to have a few local newspapers, there were at least two. There's one that was focused in on coupons and another one that was focused in on local news. Nowadays, people are going to the Patch, which is a local/national effort. I think it was Yahoo that started the Patch and you might want to check it out. But this organization of these smaller newspapers and a few larger ones, are saying, things are tough right now. Look at what Apple just did. Apple put in place a brand new system that allowed papers to consolidate. So for ten bucks a month, you had access to newspapers, that are part of Apple news, I signed up for it, on a trial basis, to see what I thought and I was disappointed myself. There was hardly any news included. It was some magazines primarily. And most of the time, I don't care about magazines. I once in a while will look at Architectural Digest, looking at these homes and beautiful designs. But other than that, I had no interest. I'm not a sports guy at all, so I don't care about sports magazines. I don't care about the glamour stuff. I'm kind of as you know, a techie guy, so I didn't like it. I initially thought it would be great because heck, I do subscribe to a couple of newspapers and I do that for one reason I need to stay informed, right? Every week I prepare to talk to you guys, and I'm trying to find some of the best tech articles out there just like this one I found in The Salt Lake Tribune talking about a long tail, a weird little newspaper, at least if you don't live in Utah, or Salt Lake. I do a little bit of that. I thought, Man, this might be a boon for the newspapers because they might get 50 cents or a buck out of Apple, at least, if I spend a lot of time reading the newspaper. I don't know how it is all set up or how the Apple payment works. However, what these guys are trying to do with the News Media Alliance, are petitioning Congress to provide them with an exemption. Now, you know, I am not fond of the antitrust laws. I think, you know, by now that I'm somewhat Libertarian. I sit in the middle of most of these arguments. However, I don't think we should bail out big businesses that go bad. When they fail, when GM fails, or Chrysler fails, we should let the free market take care of it. We should let them fail. It sucks at all these people are going to lose jobs and pensions and everything else. But it should be a cautionary thing to them. They should be looking at that and saying hey, listen it is probably not a wise decision to acquire this other company because we are not going to get the bailout at the end of all of us if things go sour. That's where I'm coming from, and you may agree or disagree with me. What is happening right now is we've got Senator Kennedy out of Louisiana. He is a staunch Republican, and he's very conservative like-minded, in a lot of ways with me. And he is getting together with someone that I don't agree with very often. And that is Senator Klobuchar of Minnesota. She's running for the Democratic presidential nomination right now. Senators Kennedy and Senator Klobuchar have gotten together, and they put together a bill in the Senate. And there's also a house version, co-sponsored by Georgia, Republican Collins and Rhode Island Democrat Cicilline. What they're doing is they're saying, Hey, listen, let's give newspapers a four-year antitrust exemption. They've got safe harbor, that way they can get together and figure out how news content and advertising can be equitably divided. My thinking is, maybe these newspapers can put together a little Alliance of their own, you know, for maybe 20 bucks a month or something or perhaps only 10. All of these newspapers, and remember it is 2000 news publishers, you can gain access to their publications. Even if I wanted to subscribe to all of these papers, it's too much of a hassle for me to subscribe to them all. Additionally, for me, I worry about them all having my credit card because they many won't use PayPal, many of them won't use Apple Pay because they don't want to pay the Apple tax. So you can't subscribe through the Apple Store. That means that I now have to keep tabs of 20 newspapers, subscriptions, and each one has my credit card information. That means I have to watch to make sure they're do not get hacked. If they get hacked, I need to try and get my data back and remember to go and give them the new credit card numbers after I cancel the credit card the one they had got breached. I'm glad to see Republicans and Democrats getting together. Obviously, some Democrats are against it, and some Republicans are against it, and others are for it, and everything else. It is not a universal thing. I think that we have to protect our newspapers are our media is our first line of defense against some of the government corruption that inevitably happens. Unfortunately, most of these news media outlets nowadays tend to be very partisan, right? They won't say anything negative about their guy or their gal, right. However, they will rip on every small little detail about the other guy. It bothers me. It is of benefit to the publisher because they have some income and don't have to cater to their demographic quite as much as they might have had to before. Plus, it exposes people to more points of view. I think it's an absolute win. No question about that. No question at all. If you go to my website at Craig Peterson dot come, you'll see that my wife and I worked on quite a big article on two-factor authentication, single sign-on, again, that's at Craig Peterson dot com. We had a little bit above this last week, where we talked about Apple and Apple's new sign in option you've probably used, or at least you've seen this option on many, many of the websites that sign in as Google are using your Google login or your Facebook login. It ties into our last article about Google and Facebook sucking profits away from these newspapers and putting it together. How does it tie in? Well, it ties in because of my concern about the number of logins, hundreds, right? If I sign up to hundreds of newspapers, I would rather have one sign in option. I'd rather have one payment for everybody. I like a consume as I much as want a type of methodology. It's just like these streaming audio services. Did you sign up for Apple Music? I've done it. Do sign up for amazon music? Do you sign up for Spotify, which I've never done it all, but a lot of people have. Spotify is very popular with older people. Or do you sign up for Pandora, which I've also done? I like Pandora think they have some of the best algorithms out there. Which service is the best for you to sign up? How do you sign up? Well, having this single sign-on can be useful. However, the big question is, do you trust Google and Apple. We've talked about some of the problems with the two-factor authentication, especially when it comes to using your cell phone. That's where they send you a verification text to type. They text a code that you type into the website, and a lot of sites will do that. Okay, well what happens if you are a specific target? If they've narrowed you down, if you are the CEO of a decent company, you could be a particular target and not just a part of the wide net that some phishing scammer out there might be using. It's dangerous because if the bad guy has your phone number, the text comes to him. Well, we're not going to get into that right now. But what I want to do is talk about the single sign-on a little bit more two-factor authentication, Apple's new single sign-on where you will be able to log in using your Apple ID, I think right now is probably the preferred way to do it. Or at least it will be the favorite way to do it. It's not out quite out yet. Apple, remember, they make their money not by selling your information, not by selling your data which is how both Facebook and Google make their money by and by the way, I don't think that's a bad thing. Okay, don't get me wrong you need to understand all the trade-offs. Apple tries to have privacy in mind. I love that. And that's part of the reason I've been supporting Apple more recently, although I've disagreed with things that Apple's done. I've disagreed with things everybody's done, right. That's what you get for being a little bit in the middle of the road here. But let's explain what's going on. Those are all called single sign-on's. And that's where you can use your one ID, which would be your Apple ID, your Google ID or your Facebook ID to sign into these websites. And that can be a good thing for a lot of people. Because now you only have to remember the one complicated password as opposed to a whole bunch of them. You know, I prefer to use a bunch of different passwords, different email addresses everything as that's more secure. But the Apple's Single Sign On is going to be a win for a lot of people. Now, let's talk to you guys and gals who are in more of a security, conscious space. If you're just a home user, maybe you're a little bit older, and things get confusing, it's hard to track stuff, you're going to want to use that Apple single sign on when it's available. However, If you are a business professional and you own a business, you are in accounting or finance or human resources, or maybe security, you're going to need to do things differently. You're going to want to use a suitable type of two-factor authentication. There are two types, software, and hardware. You know already that I prefer One password for my password management and to generate all my passwords. Well, it has an authenticator built into it, which I use whenever possible. Google has a free one available, as well called Google Authenticator. Here's how that works. When you go to a website, and you sign up for the two-factor authentication using one of these authenticators, what's going to happen is that you are going to be presented with it a little QR code that you can scan with your device. That means that when you go into your device, Google Authenticator, for instance, you scan the little QR code that the website is giving you for the authenticator, you do it with one password. Now your smartphone using the authenticator can generate a code that's going to be unique, and it changes every 30 seconds. Now what happens is, when you go to go back to that website to login, you're going to give your username, give you your password, which is something you know, along with something you have. Then it's going to ask you for the authenticator code. You can copy it directly, you can type it in, or you look it up on your Google Authenticator app or in one password, and bam, Oh, there you go. You are now logged in. That is the most reasonably secure way to login, use one of these authenticator apps, use it on a site that allows you to use an authenticator. The next level above that, which is what we use in my business, because we do security work, right? We help businesses manage their security. We do security, not just gap analysis, but effectiveness gap analysis for companies, and we help them keep track of it. What should you be doing? You know, we have the newsletters and things for business owners for sea level people aimed directly at them, right so that we're not just boring them with stuff. It is the stuff that your smart uncle doesn't know. But you need to know as a C-level person in a business, Right? We're at that level, and we use some unique hardware tokens. You've seen probably some of these before RSA has their secure ID, and DUO, company we've been using for a couple of years now has theirs. And these are little things that might go on your key chain, and they're showing this number, the changes every 30 seconds. Sound familiar? That's like the authenticator. I think that's all great. And then there are hardware tokens. These tokens go into your computer. They are things like the Yubikey, the Titan, which has had an issue recently. We use these hardware tokens. We have to put those into our machine to be able to use it. We have to enter the right passwords and things. Then and only then can we log in. So there you go, there's a quick rundown of what you might want to use to increase your security. If you're a home user, when it's available, start using the Apple single sign-on or start using the Facebook or Google login, Google is probably the safer way to go because you are less likely to have your information stolen. The Facebook one is the one I trust the least. If you are a subtle need of slightly higher security, maybe you've got some retirement money, some investment money, you're going to want to use one of these authenticators like Google Authenticator. If you are like me, you're going to use something like one password, which is a little bit better, right? Because one password has it all in a single place and has your passwords and generators everything. Ultimately you have the specific hardware tokens that plug into your USB port, or they also connect via Bluetooth to your devices. If you want me to put together a little course on this, let me know, and I'll be glad to do that. A class that can show you how this all works and gives you some links and, and also some little video of how to do it, how to use it. I'll be glad to do that. I've got to mention this one here, by the way, we've got our security summer coming up here in starting in July. And this is going to be some in-depth training about the significant back to essential points that you've been missing. Right, this is going to be a brass tacks course. We will be getting down to the brass tacks. So make sure you keep an eye out for an email from me about it. By the way, we got a new signup form at the top of the website pages Yay, finally got it all working at Craig Peterson.com, you will see it up there. But there's a lot to cover. And these are going to be 10 to 15 minute short segments that you can watch, and it's going to be kind of a summit format. I want everybody to get this. There's no charge, absolutely free to attend and free to watch all of these. You can ask questions during them because I want to get everybody up to the right level. I really want everybody to understand the brass tacks. So keep an eye out for that. We are getting down to the last articles for today. Alright. Go right now to Craig Peterson dot com, you'll see right at the top of it should be on every page. Now, a little thing that will come up that gives you the option to provide me with your name and email. And I'll sign into my weekly newsletter, which has the security tips and will also tell you about the security summit this summer. There was a Tweet from Samsung, then they deleted their tweet, but they had little tweet this past week that The Verge is quoting will prevent malicious software attacks on your TV by scanning for viruses on your TV every few weeks. Well, there you go. Samsung, at least for a few minutes, acknowledged that their TVs, like every other smart TV out there, is vulnerable to hacks. So here's my advice to everybody. If you have a smart TV, I turn off all of the Smart TV functions, everything, turn off the microphone, turn off the ability to run Roku or Plex or whatever you're trying to run on it, turn it off. Then I use a standalone device. Now I do use an external Roku for one of my TVs. The problem is that over time support for the software that's in your TV will not be available anymore. My absolute preferred platform if you can, and this is from a security standpoint, is the Apple TV. I have the Apple TV for my main TV. I say get the Apple TV, but I don't make any money for this recommendation. Apple isn't a sponsor, and they don't pay me anything and never have, Right. I was on their advisory board for three years, and they never paid me a dime, right. I am telling you this because I think it's essential that you have an external device and one that can get regular hardware and software updates. It won't have a microphone built-in. It won't come with all the security problems. You might remember, WikiLeaks revealed the CIA had developed a piece of software called Weeping Angel. And that turned Samsung Smart TVs into listening devices okay. Then less than a month later, later, security researchers found 40 unpatched vulnerabilities on Samsung Smart TV operating system. Be careful and remember these are TV manufacturers, not security experts, people. Stick with those who make smart devices for the TV stick with an external Roku or maybe an Amazon fire or my recommendation, get an Apple TV, turn everything off inside your TV and use that external device. We're out of time. That's it for today. Visit me online Craig Peterson dot com.

The sixth annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, celebrated on June 16, 2017, is discussed on RadioRotary by Susan Davidson of Friends of Seniors and Dana Pavlock of Evercare. Elder abuse can be psychological, financial, sexual, physical, or simply neglectful. It is more of an issue today than in the past because people are living longer, but families no longer have several generations living in the same location. Isolated elders, many suffering from mild to serious dementia, can be easy prey for caregivers of various kinds. Friends of Seniors does not deal directly with elder abuse, but provides medical transportation, grocery shopping, caregiver respite, and similar services through trustworthy volunteers. Evercare is a certified home health care agency that also offers a managed long-term care plan through Medicaid as well as an adult social day program.
