When emotions arise, oftentimes we try to figure out how to fix them, rather than asking what they are trying to tell us. However, our emotions are not separate from or intelligence or logic. In fact, emotions are messengers telling us about what we may need or events to pay attention to. In Episode 38, we speak with Karla McLaren on the purpose of emotions. She explains the importance of connecting with them and how it benefits our well-being. Karla dives into the specific messages that anger, sadness, grief, anxiety, frustration, happiness and hope are telling us. Karla also researches empathy, and she shares her model of how true empathy works. By the end of this episode, you will learn that emotions aren’t something that need to be fixed, but instead they need to be understood. If you want to grow in your understanding of emotions, this is the episode for you!

Children dream without boundaries; they aspire to become paleontologists, astronauts, doctors and teachers without considering socioeconomic barriers, discrimination, disease outbreaks, violence or any one of a host of other challenges impacting their likelihood of success. It’s up to us, as a society, to help each and every child fulfill his or her potential. In fact, the future of our nation depends on it.On Friday, January 15, we spoke with Dr. Irwin Redlener, author of “The Future of Us: What the Dreams of Children Mean for Twenty-First-Century America” about the obstacles facing children today, including inadequate education, barriers to health care and crushing poverty—all of which make it overwhelmingly difficult for many children to realize their dreams.Redlener is a pediatrician, author, president emeritus and cofounder of Children’s Health Fund, and founding director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University’s Earth Institute. His new book follows Redlener’s winding career, from his work as a pediatrician in the Arkansas delta, to treating child abuse in a Miami hospital, to helping children in the aftermath of 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina.These stories are his springboard for discussing larger policy issues that hinder us from effectively eradicating childhood poverty and overcoming barriers to accessible health care. Persistent deprivation and the avoidable problems that accompany poverty ensnare millions of children, with rippling effects that harm the health, prosperity, and creativity of the adults they become. Redlener argues that we must drastically change our approach to meeting the needs of children—for their sake and to ensure America’s resiliency and influence in an increasingly complex and challenging world.

There may have been a time when Alex Jones had intentions other than, as Texas Monthly aptly put it, “helping to create a world where facts don’t matter.” but that version of himself is long, long gone. The fantastic publication awarded Jones their 2019 Bum Steer of the Year award, saying “the radio host dragged our democracy into the same sewer he crawled out of so many years ago.” and we could not agree more. Unfortunately, he trolled his way right into the president's pocket, playing a key role in his rhetoric and decisions. In an age of rampant disinformation, we discuss the role Jones has played in creating a false reality, and the others he's paved the way for, like QAnon. Is Alex Jones the most prolific conspiracy theorist of modern times? You know we'll creep it real, so let's talk about it. Join the family!

After an incredible week, and even with votes still being counted, we now know that Joe Biden has won the US presidential election. But Donald Trump is refusing to concede that he last lost, and is instead mounting a series of legal challenges. So what happens now? How does a smooth transition of power work in this scenario? What will Donald Trump do next – and what next for Trumpism? How will Joe Biden lead – and reset – the US? What does his election mean for the special relationship? And how will President Biden work with Boris Johnson? In this special edition of the Institute for Government podcast, Bronwen Maddox is joined by Henry Zeffman, Washington correspondent for the Times, the New York Times’ London bureau chief Mark Landler, and IfG senior researcher Alice Lilly.

His approach is always subtle; his banter is casual and absent any pressure to respond. But when renowned pediatrician and children's advocate Dr. Irwin Redlener casually asks his young patients, "What do you want to be when you grow up?” the lights invariably come on, eye contact occurs, and the child emerges from deep inside a protective shell. "Children are essentially dreamers … undaunted by adversity or reality-based barriers to success,” Dr. Redlener writes in The Future of Us: What the Dreams of Children Mean for Twenty-First-Century America. Inadequate education, barriers to health care and crushing poverty make it overwhelmingly difficult for many children to realize their dreams. Finding ways to alter these trajectories is serious, grown-up business, Dr. Redlener emphasizes, and it's time for us to act. In The Future of Us, Dr. Redlener draws upon his four decades of professional experiences to examine our nation's health care safety nets and special programs that are designed to protect and nurture our most vulnerable kids, but that too often fail to do so. The book follows Dr. Redlener's long, colorful career, from his work as a pediatrician in the Arkansas delta, to treating child abuse in a Miami hospital, to helping children in the aftermaths of 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. He has served on the board of USA for Africa, cofounded the Children's Health Fund with Paul Simon (and persuaded Joan Baez to play a benefit concert) and dined with Fidel Castro. He once sat across the table from Michael Jackson, and he has traveled with presidential candidates. But his most powerful source of motivation remains the children who face terrible adversities yet dream of becoming paleontologists, artists and marine biologists. Their stories are his springboard for discussing larger policy issues that hinder us from effectively eradicating childhood poverty and overcoming barriers to accessible health care. Persistent deprivation and the avoidable problems that accompany poverty ensnare millions of children and impact the health, prosperity and creativity of the adults they become. Dr. Redlener argues that we must drastically change our approach to meeting the needs of children ― for their sake and to ensure America's resiliency and influence in an increasingly complex world. It is Dr. Redlener's hope that readers will emerge optimistic about our future, with a deeper understanding of how investing in children today will increase our chances of a successful tomorrow. Fighting for our nation's children is far from a lost cause, and nothing could be more important. Author Irwin Redlener, M.D., is a pediatrician and founding director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University's Earth Institute, which works to understand and improve the nation's capacity to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. In 2020, Dr. Redlener created the Pandemic Resource and Response Initiative at Columbia. He is a public health analyst for NBC and MSNBC, and recently partnered with Cher in CherCares, a new program that assists communities struggling with COVID-19. Dr. Redlener is also President Emeritus and Co-Founder of the Children's Health Fund, a philanthropic initiative that he created with singer/songwriter Paul Simon and Karen Redlener to develop health care programs in 25 of the nation's most medically underserved urban and rural communities. He currently serves as a special advisor on emergency preparedness to New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, and regularly communicates with leadership in U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services, as well as Homeland Security.

So often we feel disconnected, unsure, and bad about ourselves. We don’t set the boundaries we need and we don’t take care of ourselves. Here is the answer to these problems. The wisdom you seek is within you, and when you can listen deeply without distraction, you will hear the truth. Ana is an Energy Aligner and Heart Activator. In 2014 she had a spiritual awakening and felt like she had come home to herself. Now she helps people heal their emotional wounds so they can live a meaningful life.Quotes to remember: “When we receive such a deep, profound message in our lives, whatever it is… it takes so much courage, it takes so much faith and trust because it shakes the foundation of who we think we are.” “I allowed myself, even though I was scared, the possibility of what wanted to come through, what wanted to be given to me.” “Just look at creation; you can see God.” Takeaways:We put so much responsibility on our parents to parent us wellLack of self-love and self-worth are so pervasiveWe are constantly changing and discovering ourselvesThere is power in acknowledging that you may not know it allWe are here to have experiencesThe heart’s wisdom is irrational to the mind and cannot be understood with the mindWe are so connected and for one person to witness another’s experience is healing for both peopleLove never dies, even if a relationship comes and goesWe often feel depressed when we are denying ourselves and who we areOur human brain cannot understand what God or Spirit isWe are a part of God; God is within usWhat you’ll learn:How Ana’s desire for a mother she didn’t have led her to self-love and reparenting herselfWhere we go wrong in our thinking when things don’t last like we thought they wouldHow to listen to your heart to know yourself, and what it sounds likeWhy we close off our hearts and stop feeling, and the ill effects of doing thisWhen Ana lost herself in tending to other people’s needs, and how she recovered herself by speaking her fearHow to connect to God even when you haven’t felt unconditional love from anyoneMentioned on the podcast: https://analauralevin.com/Links:FacebookInstagram

How about your computer? We'll be getting into that right away, right off the top. And then the FBI says hackers are already in our election systems. Man really. Hey everybody. Welcome. Welcome. You're listening to Craig Peterson. Well, we had a lot of news this week. Some stations covered it. Certainly. But bottom line things just weren't covered here in the US. It was interesting listening to some foreign stations. They were covering the whole Hunter Biden thing, yet here in the US, it's like a ghost town on most of the major networks. This is really, really crazy.  I'm sure you are interested in knowing a little bit about what's going on? What are your rights? What should you do? Karen and I are putting together a special report that you can get for free. I don't squeeze you for these things. All you have to do is send me an email and I'll send it off. We're putting together a special report specifically on steps you have to take before taking your computer to one of these computer repair shops. Now, you know, I already suggest you do not use break-fix shops. Don't use any of these big squads that are out there running around saying they can fix your computers. I really do recommend that you use a managed services provider.  I'm a managed security services provider, right. I want to put that on the table and we do tend to do take care of systems for our customers, of course, security customers a little thing there we'll usually do it for them.  A managed services provider should be someone that you're using that you trust and have a certain responsibility to your data and all of the information behind it. Particularly if you are a subcontractor for any DOD contract. There are certain responsibilities that flow down to you. Obviously, if it's off the shelf stuff, the responsibility is a lot less than if it's the stuff that is not necessarily secret but is part of information about a base or information about how many items are being ordered. The military and the prime contractors don't like that information getting out for good reason. They don't want the bad guys, the Chinese, the Russians and North Koreans, et cetera, et cetera, in on that information.  Look at what's happening right now. If you go right now to Duck Duck go, and look up the Chinese carriers or better yet, look at their newest jets, They are a clone from just looking at it. They are a clone of our US jets. The reason the Chinese have this data is that they stole it. Rolling back to the time of President Clinton, he just gave them the technology for launching Intercontinental ballistic missiles to hit the United States. He gave it to them. Because he said, we want the Chinese to be able to launch our satellites? Because it's going to be way more cost-effective. The only way they can launch satellites is if they have this particular type of technology for their rocketry. And so basically, he just gave it to them.  I think that it's crazy reasoning if that was the actual reasoning behind it. Now they've turned to. Theft. This always happens in every socialist country. Any country that goes socialist, you just don't have the innovation that you had otherwise because you end up with all kinds of taxes, all kinds of restrictions. You take away the motivation for people to make money. Look at what's happened with  50 Cent,  he's a rapper. He went most of his life with no money at all. Worked really, really, really hard, and finally made some money. So the average person is going to make a few million dollars if you are a white-collar worker over the course of your lifetime. What if you worked for 10 years, 20 years, 30 years trying to get some software to work, trying to come up with something, and man it didn't work in the marketplace. So let me try something else. Let me try something else. Let me try something else. So for 20 years, you're living off of almost nothing. Just scraping, just trying to get by. Then yes, I got it. Finally everything clicks. The market's there, your product is there. It's all working. You've got the right team working with you. Your partners are the right ones, not these two Hunter Biden partners that have ended up in prison or one's waiting for sentencing right now. You got good partners that are really working for you working together, pulling together. And now all of a sudden you make a million, 2 million, 3 million, $4 million. Maybe you made $5 million over the course of 40 years. That isn't much different than your average white-collar worker. Yet you are going to be taxed to kingdom come if you live in a socialist country. So all of that work that you did for 40 years to finally make some money, maybe even leave a little bit of money behind for your kids. Generational wealth. It's gone. It's been taken. It's been confiscated at the point of a gun by the socialist government.  When you're someone like China, you have to steal intellectual property from other countries because the incentive is just not there. If you stick your head up, if you try something and you do it wrong, that head gets bashed in. You get sent out to re-education camps.  Look at the millions of people that we know of that have gone to these Chinese, every education camps. Look at the tens of millions of people that have starved to death because of socialism. Well over millions, in fact, documented in the 20th century, just because of socialism. It happens every freaking time. But,  let's get back to the laptop here. If you are China and you're trying to steal concepts, ideas so that you can then build your military, build your commercial infrastructure, compete with Tesla, compete with Apple, you need to steal it. You want to get your hands on computers.  You need to use other people's computers in order to hide where you're coming from. You've seen it in movies before.  You might remember way back when you were watching war games.  In War games it showed this modem and he was trying to go here and then it was hopping over to there and there was hopping over to here. How they kind of hop around. That is reality. It's still to this day. That the bad guys need your computer in order to hack other computers. Now, sometimes what they're doing is they're attacking other computers using your computer. So that might be attacking it, looking for a way to break in. They might be attacking these other computers through a denial of service attack, where they have thousands or even millions of computers sending requests to websites or other places. Then they hold that site hostage at that point. That happens. It really, really happens. We've also found that the bad guys are using our computers in order to store and forward illegal information. So in some cases, it's illegal information like designs for jet aircraft engines that we use in our fighters. Or the latest one. This is just from this last week is they stole the vibration dampeners in our jets that are designed to be very stealthy. So the less vibration, the harder it is to pick up.  What did they do? Well, they steal it from us. At least ask what it looks like right now, allegations just everywhere on that.  I have firsthand personally seen this sort of thing happen where China is stealing. Intellectual property from US corporations. We've gone into these companies that thought they were secure.  We have a managed services provider. Most of the time, it's all we have an IT person and we call these other guys up when something breaks.  We go in there and we find these back doors. A case that I've talked about before that I was involved in, expert witness out a New Jersey, where illegal information is put onto third parties, computers in order to share it with other people. It is happening all the time. It's everything from the ISIS beheadings and burnings all the way through kiddie porn. This is real.  We have to lock down our computers because of this. Now you might ask why I'm talking about this one. We're talking about Hunter Biden's computer that was taken to a repair shop, or maybe what we want to talk about is your computer that you're going to take to a repair shop. Well, I ask that because the big question here is what's on your computer. You know what you have put on it. No, maybe you even forgot some of the stuff that you put on it. But what have the bad guys put on your computer? Is your network system secure enough that you can say, yeah, yeah, nobody is using my computer, my network maliciously? Do you even have a firewall that tracks your outbound connection? We get into, and a lot of detail about how to do that, what you need to do in our cybersecurity mastery course. It's an important thing. So stick around when we get back, I'm going to give you the tips that you need to know. If you're going to take your computer to a repair shop and we are going to turn this into a little book for you, a special report, something like that. Stick around. We'll be right back.

Do you know what they do with it? At some of these repair shops that you take your computer when it gets slow and something breaks? When you're just trying to figure it out? What the heck is happening here, man? We've got an eye-opener for you right now. Hi everybody. Craig Peterson here. Thanks for joining me. We talked a little bit about what it's on your computer. You may not remember everything that's on it. It may just be some malicious stuff a third party has put on there. You might have bank account information. You might have password information. You might have intellectual property on it. If you are trying to take in a computer, that's badly broken. You're in a little bit of a hard spot here because that computer can't be cleaned up. Can't be cleaned very well at all. You can be just totally stuck with it and you can remove stuff, right? Let's, roll back a little bit before your computer broke. The first thing is what I teach in my cybersecurity mastery course, which is something we call a three, two, one backup. Make sure you have a data backup.  Three, two, one talks about the number of copies, the different types of media, the different locations to store it. Having a data backup is crucial. I've been using Backblaze for a while. I have a Backblaze little partner thing, so I get literally a dollar for referring people. Just so that you know. Note:  If you go to backblaze.com they'll know I referred you because they won't.  I use it. It's six bucks a month and it'll back up a computer and all of the directly attached hard disks for six bucks a month. Now my main computer has many, many, many terabytes of data on it. I think it's. 40 something terabytes and it cost me $6 a month. It is amazing. So check them out online, make sure you got a backup. It needs to be a solid backup, needed to have multiple copies. And this is something that people always forget, test it. Make sure you can restore that backup. This is a really good practice to follow it's something that is a part of disaster recovery. There are other parts as well. If you are a public company or you are owned by a public company, the bottom line you have four hours under the law to get back online. It's only for four hours. What we have done for companies and we could do it for yours too, we go ahead and make sure we have additional hardware on-site in case something goes extremely wrong. That way we can get them up and running in a matter of minutes. In most cases, if they have a major crash, if the building burns to the ground, we can get them up and running in four hours. If that's what's needed.  Of course, that costs a lot more than just doing it mean a Backblaze back up, but that's okay at the beginning. That's the start. Make sure you can restore and as always. I go over this a lot in my cybersecurity master course and on the module on backups, make sure you realize how long it will take to restore your backup. It may take weeks to back everything up. In my case, it took months, right? It may take a long time to back everything up. How long is it going to take to restore?  Does that data backup company have an offer where they will go ahead and either restore your data to a hard drive that you can then hook up to your new computer and copy everything over that's fast? Some may even overnight that drive to you or will they take them back up and put it onto a brand new machine. That's what we do for our customers so they have it. It's not a disaster. They have a computer that isn't working anymore. It's just totaled time for a new one. We'll go ahead and restore it, new machine, and then install that machine for them or send it to them, depending on who they are. That is ultimately highly important. So make sure that happens before it's time to take your computer to a repair shop. Because you never know that repair shop while they're trying to fix your computer may just toast it, or maybe already toast in this case. Meaning. It is no good anymore. So that's number one before anything. Okay. So if your hard disk just toasts out on you and you need to take that computer now to a repair shop to get a new hard disk in it, make sure that you remove the hard disk first. Then take it in say, yeah, my hard disk is toast. You're going to need to start from scratch. Now you're going to need to have your windows license for them. If it's a Windows computer, if it's a Mac, it just is going to work, right?  The Macintosh, I'll go ahead and do a network install, or if they know what they're doing, they can do a local install of all that Mac software, as well, to a new disk. In this day and age, of course, the recommendation is don't use spinning media disk. Use an SSD. There are a number of different types of SSDs and the cheap ones fall apart quickly because you can only write to them so many times. The pricing has gotten a lot better for consumers. You might have heard this week, Intel got out of the flash memory business because there just isn't the margin in it anymore. So shop around a little bit, make sure you got the best price on that. So there you go. Number one. Good backup.  Number two, make sure that if your disk fails, you remove it. Because you cannot do the next step, which is okay. Make sure you remove any personal data from the computer or make sure it's encrypted. Now, what we do because customers are regulated. If a disk is bad, we remove the disk, we break it down and we have a special furnace that we can melt those disks. Most of the platters are aluminum nowadays. There are also glass platters, but we will melt them down at extremely high temperatures and then certify that yes, indeed it is now a slag of aluminum and has been completely destroyed. That's the only way that you can meet the federal regulations if you are one of those types of companies.  If you are someone that's just a small, basic company, you're worried, but you're not worried about China getting at it or somebody else. Right. A real bad actor. Then what you need to do is get a half-inch drill bit and make three holes. Holes in that hard disk right around the little circle. You'll see a circle in that hard disk. That's usually where the spinning media is. That's usually the central bearing. So go out an inch or two. Probably a couple of inches from that bearing and drill all the way through that will destroy the data on there. So that will help to protect your intellectual property. If you want to do it the best way, it is to melt that disk down and that's what we do for our clients as well. Okay. So back to if the disk is still working no matter how trustworthy you think that this business is you took the computer too, is there's always a chance. There's a bad egg amongst all of the staff members there. So delete it, remove it. Again, hopefully, you have a backup. Hopefully, that backup is tested. You can restore it afterward if your disk is encrypted and that can be true on Windows or on a Mac. There are a few different ways to do this, then. Remember that they're going to have to boot that computer. And that may mean almost certainly mean that they're going to have to, if they, to do an end to end check boot from the disk that media that's in it. What we tend to do is we booted off of a USB drive so that we don't have to have the decryption password for the hard disks. That way there's no temptation, right? None of my techs have that temptation because they can't get at the data anyways.  Make sure again, boot encryptions turned on. Stick around. We'll be back. We've got a couple more things to cover here. This is all spawned by Hunter Biden and his computer that he dropped off at the repair shop. If you sign that little contract, in 90 days, the computer and everything on it is theirs. Stick around. --- More stories and tech updates at: www.craigpeterson.com Don't miss an episode from Craig.

Craig continues his explanation of what you need to do if you have to take your computer to a shop to be repaired. This segment covers encryption.

Hey, you're listening to Craig Peterson. Thanks for joining us today. Next up is probably pretty obvious to everybody make sure you're very selective about who you trust. What's the reputation of your work with them before? If you're dealing with a managed services provider, They have a fair deal, in fact, of responsibility for your data.  If they are a federal compliant managed security services provider, then there are federal laws to help protect some of your data. But if you leave that data on that computer, it's like not paying for the guy that did all of the yard work outside who brought in the bulldozers and the trucks full of soil, et cetera. They have a mechanics lien on your home. They can take that right out of you and even force the sale of the home in order to get paid. Kind of similar in the computer world. They did put in the time to fix a computer, they might've added parts, et cetera. So when you sign that contract, when you're dropping that thing off, remember that you kinda are signing your computer away. That is not a good thing for you if you don't come back in the 90 days, because that computer and all of the data on it becomes not yours.  It becomes the repair shop's data and computer. They can do with it, whatever it is they want to do with it. That's, what's gotten Hunter Biden into some serious trouble here and Joe Biden as well. Remember this, isn't a Hunter Biden problem. It's now showing some major corruption on the part of Joe Biden. So if it's true, Where did this all start? Well, he's kept his head down pretty well for 47 years in the US Senate, et cetera. But, this one thing just dropping the computer off for repairs could be a problem. Encryption is important. Remember most of us are just using what's called encryption at rest. In other words, the data is encrypted while it's on the disk. That does not meet some of the higher standards of various regulations, but it's okay. It's a start.  So you use encryption on the disk, you use the builtin windows encryption or the built-in Apple encryption as well. Now there are some very good tips here as well. That has to do with your keys. I keep all of my keys, my software keys, my log-in keys, license keys in a vault. An encrypted vault. There is another level of that. It's something that we are trying to convince our clients that they need to do because some regulations are requiring it now. Although most companies are not doing it. That is, it has to not just be kept in an encrypted vault, but half has to be kept in an encrypted vault that will self-destruct if someone tries to get into it. So keep your software keys, separate, keep them off of your main computer. Nowadays put them in your smartphone in an encrypted vault. I use one password there. You can use LastPass, which is another good one. There are many others, but keep them on a separate device. This again is the next step ultimate insecurity. We get into this in our cybersecurity mastery program. When we're talking about some of these different levels that you have to comply with, but you can have a unique key for each disk, that's stored on a separate machine so that when your computer boots up, it has to go to the separate machine in order to get the keys in order to decrypt and use your hard disks. Okay. That's way above and beyond what home users are going to do. It's way above and beyond what a SOHO, a small office home office business is going to do. It is absolutely required for government contracts here in the next three years, it's already required today for some vendors.  There's one more step here we've got to remember. That the repair guys have to be able to repair your computer. You're going to want to make it easy for them to access your device. A word of caution. We've had stories, and I have personal knowledge of people working at some of these big companies. Many of us look at it and say, I'm not going to take it to Joe's repair shop, because who knows if they're going to repair properly or what's going to happen to my data, et cetera, et cetera.  There was a great article we talked about when it came out a couple of years back from one of the bigger companies out there that have a squad of people that go around and install equipment, fix equipment, et cetera. Where some of their stores were being paid a bounty. What would happen is you'd bring your computer in and they would look at the data on the computer. They would check to see if they could find kiddie porn or anything else illegal, such as well pictures of you smoking crack cocaine, which is what's alleged here on Hunter Biden's computer. They would get paid a few hundred dollars, that technician, for finding it. How's that for scary? They would work with the police. The police had a bounty program. It was just absolutely nuts. So how easy do you need to make it for these people? Don't go crazy with making it easy for them. In fact, in many cases, before I would possibly take a computer in for repair,  of course, I don't, right? We repair them ourselves. Or we have a repair company come out and we watch them repair every step of the way.  What I would do is remove that drive, no matter what kind of computer it is, and then take it in for repairs. The company that's doing the repairs, they've got bootable USB drives that they can just plug right in, boot it up, it's up, it's running. Life is good and they give it back to you. Hopefully, the problem isn't that, that hard drive was bad. But again, hard drives are easy enough to replace. But what you going to do to make it easy for them to repair, if you're going to ship it to them or give it to them with the hard disk intact, is to remove the password. Now I've done that before with my Apple computers, taking them into Apple for repairs. I also make sure that there's nothing on the machines. We'll make sure the backups good, which you should be doing anyway. Then we wipe the computer by destroying the key, the encryption key for that computer. Then we reinstall the operating system and we test the machine again because sometimes it's just the operating system got messed up. Particularly if you're dealing with a windows computer. So that's always a good thing to do anyway. Then when we give the computer to the repair guy. She's going to be able to just run it and it's not going to require a password and life is good, right? She's often running. That's what I would recommend as opposed to just removing the password on the computer. Remove the password, destroy the address by simply deleting the key and you can do that with these disk and full disk encryption programs, and then reinstall windows or Mac iOS, whatever it is. Check your machine again, make sure it's still not working the way you want it to, and then take it in for repairs. Things do break. It doesn't matter what kind of computer it is. It doesn't matter if it's a smartphone or a laptop or a server, they are going to break. There's your basic tip. Make sure you got the backups. Make sure everything is as it should be. So that you're not going to get nailed and your data's not gonna get stolen if the bad guys did hack into your computer and use it as a store and forward for illegal materials, they will no longer be on that computer. Stick around. We'll be right back and make sure you get my newsletter. Craig peterson.com/subscribe. --- More stories and tech updates at: www.craigpeterson.com Don't miss an episode from Craig.

Craig explains why DHS and the FBI are warning us about Election Hacking and why it individual State Website Security is the culprit.

Now It Wants to Own Your Entire Digital Identity. 5G in the US averages 51Mbps while other countries hit hundreds of megabits IRS may put cryptocurrency question at the top of 1040 to catch cheaters Publishers worry as ebooks fly off libraries’ virtual shelves 25% of BEC Cybercriminals Based in the US What's Really Happening in Infosec Hiring Now? --- Automated Machine-Generated Transcript: Craig Peterson: [00:00:00] We've talked about the potential here of hackers getting into our election systems and what are they going to be able to do?  No, I've never been really big on this, but now FBI and DHS, well they're both disagreeing with me. Hey everybody. Welcome back. You're listening to Craig Peterson. I've talked about the likelihood of hackers being able to influence, I mean, in a very big way, our election here in the US and I've kind of poo-pooed it, because as a general rule with 50 state elections, it would be very difficult for a foreign adversary of some sort or somebody that just wants to mess with us to really cause havoc with our election. Of course, it looks like we're going to cause enough havoc ourselves falls because of this lockdown that we did. All of the crazy things we're trying to change at the very last minute with our voting this time around. This is going to be one heck of an election season. Ah, I'm not looking forward to it. I have been warning about some of the problems that have existed with  Secretary of State office websites. Some of these Secretaries of State are putting up websites that allow the local County chairs, city, et cetera, to upload the vote tallies via the web. To the Secretary of State now, on the whole, that sounds pretty good. It seems pretty reasonable. You might remember what happened in Iowa early 20 20. Yeah. Where the Democrats decided they were going to use this app for tallying all of the votes. It wasn't being used for voting, but it was being used for the tally who won. We actually don't know who won the Iowa Democrat caucuses. Isn't that right? Just amazing, because of the technology and the problems behind it. Well, when we're talking now about state hackers, countries that have massive hacking campaigns, ongoing. Yeah. How much could they mess up our election by getting into the Secretaries of State websites? Because not only are the 50 States responsible for running the elections. Tallying the votes, but they're also responsible to give that data, hopefully, good data, the federal government. So how does the federal government get that data? Well, they tend to get it by going to the 50 Secretaries of State websites nowadays. And that's where my big concern comes from. Obviously, I do not like these touch screen voting machines. I know I am a good old fashioned writing on a piece of paper or the kind of the heavier paper, a hundred-plus pound stuff. You fill in an oval for who you want and then that card you put it in the machine. The machine counts it. I love those because the bottom line it's completely auditable.  I talk a lot about audits because so many of my customers are getting audited because of federal regulations, but this is different.  Let's say the machine tallied, a hundred votes for Trump, and 120 votes for Biden. A spot audit could be conducted. So you take all of the cards that were fed into that machine and you manually count them. Okay. This is obviously a Trump vote. Okay. That's obviously a Biden vote. So you're going through, you're seeing what the votes were for each person and you can now say, okay, it came up the counts the same, and you know, that machines counter right for what you were looking for was correct. Those cards can then be taken later on and you can have a Republican and a Democrat and a libertarian or whatever the parties are in your state watch as those individual ballots are counted because a physical ballot exists. That's just incredibly important. They can't hack a pencil. I love that saying. Right? I think it was our Secretary of State that said that you can't hack a pencil. I'm not sure that's not all entirely true, but it's mostly true. But you can hack some of the systems that are behind the reporting, according to the FBI and the Department of Homeland security right now. An article by Brooke Crothers is pointing out that hackers and they're saying possibly nation-state actors, which means who China, Russia, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, Brazil, not so much in Venezuela, not so much nowadays, either because their economy is in shatters because they are a blank country, a socialist country. Exactly. So their economies in shatters. Brazil's in shatters looks like we might get a trade agreement by the way, with Brazil kind of interesting, but. They are saying now that there is no evidence so far, this is a Homeland security, that the integrity of the elections data was compromised. And they're saying that it does not appear these targets are being selected because they are part of our election apparatus. In other words, wait a minute, guys. Our secretaries of state's website, other systems are being hacked just as a part of a random hack. What happens if they get ransomware? And what happens if a nation-state really does want to go after them this week. We saw six spies arrested, Chinese spies who were stealing information critical to the United States of America. They lie on their visa applications. You know, that's why right now the State department's saying you might not want to go to China because China's threatening to kidnap Americans over there and hold them hostage in exchange for these spies. It's not like the old days where we would catch some Russian spies. They would catch some American spies and then we trade them. Right? No, China is right now threatening to, and they already have with Canada and two other countries, they are threatening to kidnap regular old, innocent Americans off the street of China and hold them hostage until we give back there are six spies. Can you imagine that? Yeah, China is not an enemy. China is a friend, right? Well, it's a friend. If they give you one and a half-billion dollars. That's another story for a new section here. What I have been concerned about it looks like it's happening, that these were not attacked because they're part of the election apparatus. These were attacked because they were vulnerable systems. So what vulnerabilities were used, I think everyone needs to pay attention to this cause this is a very, very big deal. This is Seesaw. This is the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency Seesaw. They are saying that they got in through what's called vulnerability chaining. That is a big deal and that is on my list of things as part of what we cover in my cybersecurity mastery course. This is a technique that's commonly used and it's used against businesses. It's used against federal state agencies, government critical infrastructure, elections organizations. In this case, it targeted something that I've been talking about forever. VPN vulnerability. Don't use virtual private networks unless you really, really, really, really know what you're doing. Okay. This was a target against a VPN vulnerability and a flaw in that log on, which is a windows protocol that used to authenticate people who are connecting over the VPN. Now what makes us even worse is that not only did the Secretary of State offices and other government offices not have adequate security to prevent this, not only did they not have properly configured VPNs, which is like 98% of them out there. So pull up your socks, people. Patches were already available for all of the vulnerabilities. They were already out there. This is what came straight from the FBI and CISA the patches were already there and they had been disclosed and the systems were not updated. So. How safe then is, is our election infrastructure? I go back to what I've been warning about for many, many years, our over reliance on the accuracy and security of the technology. These guys that did it are known as advanced persistent threat actors. Which usually means nation-states. They did not identify who it was most of the time lately. It's been China, no matter what these so-called news organizations have been saying, it hasn't been Russia. Russia really hasn't done much lately. It's mostly China and apparently, it looks like it's a financially motivated nation-state actor that can mean Russia. They are more financially motivated, but so is China. That's why they're stealing our business secrets as well. Okay. Very, very bad. Microsoft. You might remember, we talked about it here in September, said it detected Russian, Chinese, and Iranian actors targeting the 2020 US elections. So this is stepped up activity. They are targeting the  2020 election, according to Microsoft and the national counterintelligence and security center director, William Evanina. It's a very big, very big deal. So something else to worry about for our elections in 2020. It's also something you need to worry about if you are working from home. If you are a business owner or if you're an IT person, and that's why I'm here, I'm trying to help you guys understand this. That's why I have my cybersecurity mastery program. So you can ask me any questions you want to, and we can get things solved. Get them rolling. Be sure you are on my email list so you get my newsletters. You get the training and you know, what's going on. Hey, you're listening to Craig Peterson. We're going to talk about the IRS being investigated this time. You've seen those CLEAR things in airports, let you pass through quickly. We're going to talk about what they're trying to do nationwide. Stick around.

Hi everybody. Craig Peterson here. Yeah. If you've ever had a run-in with our friends at Homeland security with blue shirts, transportation security, many people have decided to do something that. I haven't done and I don't know what I would do. I think it's kind of dangerous and we'll explain why here in just a couple of minutes.  Of course, at my website at craigpeterson.com, make sure you're on my email list.

Craig peterson.com/subscribe. We were talking in the last hour a lot about taking your computer to a computer repair shop and what to do. Well, how about you shouldn't do and how Hunter Biden apparently got himself into a whole lot of trouble by this little eighty dollar repair that apparently needed to be done to his Mac computer. Yeah. Not so much fun.  We're going to start out this hour by talking about the I R S. Yes, the internal revenue service, right. We have a system here in the United States. It's different than most socialist countries, certainly different than the fascist and communist countries of old, where you got your check from the government and that was your paycheck.  There's no withholdings or anything because of course everything is free and you get money to spend as long as you've cut those little ration coupons in order to spend it. Even then, right, the stuff's not on the shelves. The joys of socialism. Here in the United States, we don't have capitalism in its purest form. There are a lot of limits on what can be done and what should be done. The federal government bets a lot of your money on technologies that never pan out. We could give up hundreds of millions, actually, billions of dollars worth of wasted tax money that went to various friends of various government officials, frankly, when you start tracking down the money, it's very, very frustrating to me and I'm sure to many of you out there. So we have something called the Internal Revenue Service here in the United States. Its job is to collect the revenue, the taxes from the people. We voluntarily disclose all of the money that we make. We are paying taxes with withholdings. If we have, I have a regular salary income, right? That W2 income and the in the cases of some of the other ways we make money, we're supposed to disclose it, right? Like I do some farming. So I had this little form that gets filled out along with my taxes. Cause I got chickens and bees that I raise and. It's just a really complicated system and it frustrates me to no end how complicated it is. That's because we've got our wonderful legislators and rule-makers just constantly changing everything, right? It's kind of crazy. Well, one of the things the IRS has been concerned about is I think a very concerning thing, frankly, and it should be concerning for all of us. This is also part of our cybersecurity control number 16 here, which is account monitoring and control. What the IRS has done, they said, Hey, listen, we got to find these people who are out there who are using these electronic devices and are potentially not paying taxes that are due. Again, this is something I warned about years ago, not just because it's part of control 16, but because. It's just inevitable, right? The government wants to get its hands on all of the data it possibly can. It's like marketing firms, right? As a marketer, you want to know your customer and you want to give them the right message at the right time. What good is it to have an ad for a Ford truck when you're never, ever going to buy a truck? It doesn't do you any good? It doesn't do the advertiser any good. So how does the government do this and what did the IRS do? We've got a couple of Senators right now, Ron Wyden and Elizabeth Warren, who is now demanding a formal investigation into, how the IRS used location data that they got from a third party. We've known for a long time that the Federal Government is not allowed to collect data on US persons. What does that mean? Bottom line, they're not supposed to be out there and looking at what we're doing. I think that kind of makes sense because we're supposed to have privacy. We're supposed to be secure, right? In our papers, our documents, it is part of the Constitution, which is being ignored more and more, nowadays. But anyway, so they're not supposed to be coming after our data. So they go to data aggregators. Data aggregators and I had some on my show years ago when it was first in my mind becoming a real problem. It might've been even a decade ago now, but these are companies that buy data. Some of the data is a matter of public record and you would be surprised I'm sure to find out all of the public records that are out there on you. Some of the data is private that they buy from some of these agencies that track your credit. They give you a credit score. Some of it is a property that you own. It's the state secretary of state's office. That has all of the liens filed under that uniform commercial code. So UCC one filings, all of these things. They get pushed to put together and take driver's information - driver's license information, car registration, and now they have a picture of you.  One of the things that they've added to this recently, and this wasn't true way back when I was first interviewing these guys, is the information from your cell phone. Now you might say, well,  I have my location tracking turned off on my cell phone. So what are they doing? Have you played a free game lately? To do know what a free game actually costs too, because some of these games that you download, some of the software that you put onto your mobile devices are tracking you in some places sometimes you know about it.  These Fitbit watches, for instance, remember a few years ago, there was a big controversy because military members were wearing Fitbit and we're going out and running in the morning and tracking their runs and having competitions with each other, which is a wonderful thing.  Then we found that it was being tracked and put onto a public website. So you could see all the Fitbit users all over the world. And you could zoom in on military bases, including apparently secret military bases where people were running around in this big oval, that was about the size you might expect from a landing strip. So this information can be used and can be misused. Frankly, there was a real big thing too. A few years ago, they found some monitors down in Central Park in New York, and then some of the other parks, and they listened for the broadcast that comes from smartphones. Smartphones, for instance, are they're out there trying to find wifi networks.  What you can do is you can send out a wifi network ID and then talk to a phone and apparently what was going on is some bad guys were using them to track women who are jogging through central park and potentially attack those women. Again, information that you're not really thinking about, that's being leaked. So what's happened now is the IRS and other federal agencies and state and local agencies have done this as well. The IRS apparently went to one of these data aggregators and they wanted to find where certain people were, where their homes were. So how do you do that? How the IRS wants to find phones, they want to know where you live. All you have to do is figure out where does this phone spends the night, because the phone is at your home at night, typically, right? It's turned on in case the kids need to reach you. This week we got a phone call at like four 30 in the morning. One of our daughters was in pain on the floor in the bathroom and it was a phenomenal thing. So we don't turn off the phone. It's great having that and it was great that you could call us from her bathroom, right? That could never have happened before, but it happened now. Her phone was at her house at night. Ours is our house at night. it is common, certainly not just talking to these cell towers. Right. But apps that are on them could potentially be targeting us, keeping our data, keeping our information. So when we come back, I want to talk a little bit more about this.  Because two things I want to talk about that haven't been done to help protect our information, but I also want to tie this back to the IRS again.  How far should the federal government be able to go to track people who have no criminal convictions, no history? They're just regular ordinary citizens that are out there. Hey, you're listening to Craig Peterson. Stick around. Cause we'll be right back. --- More stories and tech updates at: www.craigpeterson.com Don't miss an episode from Craig.

What's it being used for? What can you do in order to maybe not stop it, at least slow some of it down? What government's doing to us, frankly. Hey, welcome back everybody. Craig Peterson here. So we were talking about these data aggregators and what they're collecting on us. Well, the most recent stuff that they started collecting is information from the apps we're using. Typically we're talking about apps that are free apps as opposed to paid apps. While we're using them we're giving away information about our location. This became such a problem that really came to the attention of Apple and Google both now.  Google has had very kind of fine-tuned stuff for many years in Android that tells you the app wants this, wants that, wants the other thing, and frankly, that's pretty darn handy. Isn't it? What Apple has done is, Apple has tried to make it very, very simple for you. Far fewer options.  When it comes to the granularity of what an app is asking for. Apple forces these app developers to only get or ask for the absolute minimum that they need. The more recent versions of Apple's iOS and Android have built into them now, a request so that when an app is asking for access to, for instance, your location, this GPS data, it will pop up a little warning. Apple in the latest release of its operating system it did a really nice thing. In fact, I think it was late in iOS 13, they added this, but it started reminding you every once in a while that this app is using your GPS. For instance, in the background, you want it to still be able to use it. They added it a while ago. Hey, by the way, You can just restrict it to having access while you're using the app. So when you're looking at those little popups, come up on your Android device or your iOS device, keep in mind. Okay. What is this app for? Why do I have this app? Oh, because I want to Tetris. Why would an app that is playing Tetris need access to your contacts? Why would it need access to your location? Why would it need access to any of these things?  I like the way that Microsoft has gone with Windows and Apple with its operating systems and Android, where it is giving you definitive have warnings now about what apps want. Many of these apps still sell the information. Remember Google is in the business of selling information about you and selling your information as well. So if you have Google maps on your phone, even if it's an iOS phone, you may well be leaking your personal information to Google, and then it goes to the data aggregators. Apparently what the Senators are worried about here is that the IRS had gone out and got data that we didn't receive under a warrant. A letter here from the Inspector General says we are going to conduct a review of this matter, and we are in the process of contacting the criminal investigation division about this review signed by Jay Russell George, who is the Inspector General. That was his response back to the Senators Warren and Wyden. So I like this, right. I like what she's trying to do here. I don't think that they should be able to get this data without a warrant of some sort. But it's happening every day and it isn't just the IRS. It is many other agencies out there that are getting this data and that's what kind of concerns me. So let's move on to another real problem here and this is our personal identities. Remember I mentioned at the top of the hour. This whole airport thing, right. Where we've got TSA out there and they are chartered with, let me put it that way, trying to keep us safe. I think that's a wonderful thing. We used to have airlines and airports that are paying for security. They can still do that. And in some cases they do, but most airports have TSA agents there now. Have you noticed that there are two programs that are being actively used? You've got one, which is the prescreening. So you go, they take your fingerprints, they take all of your identity and they look you up. Okay. And they are checking public records by the way. They're checking to make sure that you buy oil for your home to heat it. If you're in the Northeast or you have an electric bill in your name and that all of the address rest all add up to gather. They check, of course, criminal records as well, but again goes back to the data aggregators and then they say this person no criminal record. And they are pretty much who they say they are. It looks like they're a decent, upstanding citizen. So we are going to l, have them this little pass. Now that lets them be pre-screened. It's a little easier at the airport it's a little faster get through. Although now so many people are pre-screened that line is slowed down a lot. So now there's another program that you might've noticed? Well, there's a couple of others as NexUS and things, but another one you might have noticed, which is called CLEAR. I have a friend who swears by CLEAR because he just goes into the airport Bam he's through TSA. What clear does is it is taking your biometric information and is doing the background check that we talked about before. A real problem for getting through TSA. Right? Is it a real problem? Has it been a real problem for you? Because what CLEAR is doing is making it so that it just takes seconds to pass through TSA.  But here's what you're doing. They've got all of your personal information. They've got your driver's license. They now have your biometrics. They have your Iris information from your eye. So they know who you are. They can recognize that eye. Think about biometric information here for a minute. If you are on locking a door, using your fingerprint, that fingerprint scanner has to have that biometric information. Many businesses, many buildings now will unlock doors based on your face. Again, biometric information. There are more advanced systems that listen to your voice. There are systems that watch your cadence as you're walking because those are all unique to individuals. That's what they're doing in China right now, too. You're wearing a face mask, but they can still identify you. There is a problem with having this type of biometric information.  I think it's a very big problem. Hey, if you go to "Have I Been pwned.com" and you find that your password and your username were leaked in a hack of a website, let's say. What do you do? Well, of course, first thing, first, you change your password and you make sure you're not using it anywhere else. What do you do if your biometric information is stolen?  We'll be talking more about that when we get back, you are listening to Craig Peterson right here.  Stick around. Cause we'll be right back. Of course, we're always online, Craig peterson.com. --- More stories and tech updates at: www.craigpeterson.com Don't miss an episode from Craig.

Craig discusses CLEAR and why what they are doing now is NOT a good idea. These biometric databases can be hacked just like any other database.  The Danger is - there is no way to guarantee 100% security of your data and if it gets hacked -- You can't change your biometrics!

Is it really a problem? You've got your phone, you unlock with your face or your, maybe your fingerprint, your thumbprint. Where's that information all going? What is CLEAR doing now?  In case you're not aware of it CLEAR is a company that has been taking biometric information and using it at airports has got about 5 million members. You're listening to Craig Peterson. Thanks for joining us today. Clear who are they? If you've seen the signs, you've seen the people that walk through CLEAR, either use an eye scan called an Iris scan or a fingerprint scan they're used in airports, also used in stadiums. Well, April this year came as quite a wake-up call for our CLEAR, because the air travel industry just completely fell off a cliff, didn't it. You had the Coronavirus scare spreading worldwide airline passengers just stopped flying. It's just crazy. Some airplanes were turned around and mid to air and sent back to where they came from. Because borders were closed at the very last minute. Then there was the grave reality that hit in April of this year because basically, nobody was flying. Revenue was plummeting, empty airports and airlines are reporting a 95% drop in travelers. Absolutely. Huge. It's crazy. Crazy to think about just how devastating it was. Not just for the airline industry, but for related industries. Well, people hadn't been using CLEAR to travel. My friend, Dean he's sworn by CLEAR because he could just walk right in and walk onto the plane. It was that simple for him. He also uses one of these luggage transportation services, you pay like a hundred bucks a pop and they pick up his luggage from his house they ship it to the hotel he's going to be at and he never has to touch it.  He literally just walks on board with the book or whatever it is he wants. Man, am I envious. Okay. So there are about 5 million people who paid past tense for CLEAR's service. It costs them about 180 bucks a year and they would go to these kiosks, that TSA, about 60 airports and sports arenas had these things and it verified their identity. They were able to then skip these long lines at the airport security and off they went. Absolutely phenomenal. Well, it looks like based on a report that came out here from a company called one zero, who looked at some public records that CLEAR's income was about halved. This surprises me that it wasn't 90, 95% drop in revenue knew, but some people just kept going at $190. One zero says that they've had a look at more than 3,500 documents and emails and they have found the CLEAR is now using the pandemic scare to pivot. What it's doing now is instead of just being at the airlines in the stadiums, they want to be the clearinghouse for biometric information everywhere. Absolutely everywhere. It wants to be the identity verification platform. Covering every moment of our lives, every day in our lives. They've already got tons of information from these public sources, from these companies that sell our information. They've also got information on people, customers who used CLEAR to buy at concessions, enter the sports stadiums, and they are now starting to explore if not already selling that data for marketing purposes. Isn't that something?  By the way, you can get a free CLEAR identity for stadiums. So you don't have to pay if you're just using it to go into some stadium. So this is very, very concerning. I got a great article on this from one zero.medium.com. Up on my website @craigpetersohn.com. If you want to get into a little bit more.  CLEAR considers itself a platform company. They've got something, they call a health pass they introduced in May this year. It's using CLEAR's identity verification service and attaches your personal health information to the profile. This gets really scary. Remember I said here before the break that you should be going to "Have I been pwned", I've said that many times, and if you need a link to that, just email me@craigpeterson.com. I'll be glad to send it to you. Just the subject line, just say radio show. If you go there to "Have I been pwned" and you find that your password has been breached, so you just change your password. What do we do now, if we're registered with CLEAR? If we're a registered traveler? If CLEAR has our facial recognition biometrics? If CLEAR has our fingerprint biometrics? And on and on, and it gets hacked. You cannot change your biometrics. At least that's the whole idea, right? I am extremely concerned about it, which is why I don't use CLEAR. Now let's take that same question and let's apply it to our devices because we are using our biometrics to unlock the devices. Right now the Apple iPhones are the best when it comes to facial recognition, there are a number of Samsung models that have been quite easily fooled. The fingerprint recognition on the older I-phones is quite good. Frankly, some of the Samsung models have been easily defeated for fingerprint recognition.  First off do go search on your phone model, find out how good it is? How good is the facial recognition? Because you're giving your facial biometrics to the phone. You're giving your fingerprints to the phone. What Apple has done is they put it into something they call the secure enclave. Now, last week I spent a lot of time talking about the T2 chip about TPM, these different types of encryption, and security controls that are on our laptops and on our smartphones. If you want more about that go to last week's show, you'll find it on Craig peterson.com because I discussed that in-depth. But I'm very concerned about this. My wife and I both have more than 10 digit passcodes on all of our devices. We use 20 plus character codes, login passwords on our Mac books, and on our desktops as well, just to try and keep it safe. Neither one of us actually trust the type of security you get from fingerprints or elsewhere. Now, one of my sons, what he does, is he doesn't use this thumbprint. He uses a knuckle. A print on a knuckle. I know some other people that use various private parts, women, and men to identify themselves. Maybe that's a good idea. Maybe it's not. But I would be very cautious here. Be careful with CLEAR. It might be nice to be able to just zoom through the airport. It's one thing if the government has the information, but governments are losing the stuff all the time, they're getting hacked all the time. That's bad enough but giving it purposely to these companies like CLEAR that really bothers me again, search for your phone online, and in the Apple world, the secure enclave on the phone, that's where your biometric information is kept. It is never ever sent to Apple. Can't say the same about all of these Android devices. Stick around. You're listening to Craig Peterson and we'll be right back. --- More stories and tech updates at: www.craigpeterson.com Don't miss an episode from Craig.

A little story about the IRS and really happening in info security right now. Great career. Hi, everybody listening to Craig Peterson. Oh, cybersecurity. IT cybersecurity, I think is a great profession. It is a difficult profession. Don't get me wrong. I talk with people in IT all the time about how it is just kind of overwhelming. How they just got this major inferiority complex in Infosecurity understandably so.  There's so much going on, it's a very high-stress job. There is a great article that was out in Dark Reading earlier this year, talking about what was predicted for security roles going forward. Due to the pandemic scare, what matters. Six months later, Dark Reading went back and had a look at it. What they've found is it's just as tough to fill open cybersecurity positions as it was pre-pandemic. In fact, there are new problems now that I, I hadn't really even thought about, frankly. 30% of businesses that responded to the survey said that their security teams are hiring now. 45% said that they need additional staff, but are restricted by hiring freezes or spending limits. So add those two together where it's 75% of companies are looking to get more cybersecurity people.  12% said that they were recently forced to cut security staff. Which is obviously in my view,  more than a little short-sighted, right? So they went in and started looking at it a little more deeply. It's a years-old story now, and it typically takes about eight months to replace a security analyst and about four months to train a replacement. There is right now a huge shortage of appropriately skilled workers. Others are claiming it's an unreasonable set of expectations amongst employers, and that job listings that are put out there are difficult to decipher. I think that's funny considering its cybersecurity, right? Get it - decipher.  I have thought long and hard about maybe offering some sort of cybersecurity training course. That's what the cybersecurity mastery thing is all about. Getting you the basics of cybersecurity and then have a couple of phone calls a month to answer questions that people have that are in the program. That's the whole thing behind understanding cybersecurity or mastering cybersecurity program because employers want the right skill set. There just aren't enough people out there. The pay is very good depends on what you consider good, I suppose.  Right now for a not particularly well-skilled person, the salaries are in the hundred thousand dollars a year range, Which is why statistically looking at this whole thing a business that has fewer than 500 employees with standard revenue based on how much revenue per employee cannot afford a cybersecurity team. You just can't afford it because it's so darn expensive. You're much better to find an outsource team. That'll do it for you. It'll save you a whole lot of money. So keep that in mind. A business email compromise is a very, very big problem. We've talked about it before. FBI is talking about all of the hacks that have occurred via BEC. I've had firsthand experience with it that is how we picked up a couple of clients. We do a cyber health assessment for one company and this company had a few different servers and some desktop machines. We did a whole, what we call an NSAAP, which is a network security assessment and action plan. So we gave them this action plan. These machines need to be upgraded. These machines this software needed to be upgraded. These machines were not properly protected. These ports were open. They shouldn't have been right. So it was a really good network plan for them. I think it was like 300 pages long of stuff they needed to do. Again, this was a very small company. I think they've only got maybe three or four dozen employees and gave it to them. Thanks. Appreciate it. Bye-bye. Then we got a call from them. I don't know what was it? Eight months later because they had become, I'm a victim of a business, email compromise attack. This happens all the time now. This is where someone sends an email pretending to be someone they're not usually within the organization, but sometimes they pretend to be a vendor. One of the attacks that I know of here, that's pretty common, comes out of Eastern Europe. Hey, Mr. CFO. They send this while the owner, CEO, the president is out of town and unreachable, and they know that because the owner posted it on Facebook and the bad guys have been tracking the company for a little while and said, Oh, he's going to be down in Bermuda. This period of time in February. So they send an email to the CFO and supposedly from the business owner, and there are methods they use so that they can use a legitimate email address, or it looks really like it is from the business owner. The email says something like, Hey, we started using this new vendor. We haven't paid their invoices. We're three months behind unless you wire this $120,000 that is going to go away and can really hurt the company. Can't deal with this right now. Please just go ahead and wire the money and then the CFO does it. We saw this happen to Shark Tank's Barbara Cochran. You know her from Shark Tank. She's one of the sharks, big real estate investors. Her assistant got tricked into wiring out - Was it 300,000? I can't remember. It was a fair amount of money. She got tricked into wiring it overseas. Now the FBI tells us that once that happens, 90 seconds later that money can no longer be recovered. It just disappeared. We have clients that have had the money disappear. Of course, we picked them up after it's disappeared, right? Just like this customer that did not do what we told him he should do. Right. Even if they did it themselves, they would have been ahead of the game. They didn't have to hire us to do it. We gave them an action plan as part of our NSAAP evaluation. Right? They lost, last I heard, actually, it has gone up, a $180,000. So they lost money right out of their operating account. It got emptied and they also ended up incurring all kinds of fees and then they couldn't deliver some things. So they had problems with customers, right.? It just goes on and on and on. This stat is something that was a bit of a surprise for me. There's a study that was just done looking at business email compromises and found that the attacks are coming one-quarter of them from the United States. One-quarter of all of the business emails is coming from the US. Of course, many times these people are caught by the FBI and end up in prison. But of these attackers located in the US, nearly half of them are in these five States, California, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and New York. So be very, very careful. Interesting reports got information from more than 9,000 defense engagements from this year between May and July, right? 2200 of them, by the way, they could identify the likely location of the attackers. So interesting stuff. That's a problem. IRS is saying that they may have a question and on the top of the new form, 1040 asking filers if they dealt in virtual currency in 2020, we talked about the IRS earlier in the show today. The IRS is concerned that people are making money off of these blockchain things, like Bitcoin, and are not reporting the capital gains that they had from these cryptocurrencies. So be careful with that. IRS is starting to take that very seriously. Then COVID, we put all kinds of systems in place because of the panics around the Wuhan virus and worry about people having the COVID-19 symptoms. Apparently in the UK, more than 50,000 potentially infectious people may have been missed by the contract tracers. How? Well, Microsoft has a million row limit on the Excel spreadsheet. Now, if you have a spreadsheet with a million rows in it, you are misusing spreadsheet software that really needs to be in a database somewhere. Okay. That's not something to do in a spreadsheet. Apparently what they were doing in the UK is hospitals, et cetera, or we're sending in spreadsheets. We're probably doing the same thing here in the US and then those spreadsheets are being pulled into one master spreadsheet and almost 16,000 positive tests were left off the official daily figures which translate to more than 50,000 potentially infectious people running around.

How did The Wine Bible get its name? How was it unlike any wine book of its time? What was it like as a young woman trying to break into the male-dominated New York wine scene in the 1970s? Why are there significantly fewer women than men with the Master Sommelier designation? How does wine help you to immerse yourself in other cultures? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Karen MacNeil, author of The Wine Bible, former wine correspondent for the Today Show, the first Food and Wine Editor of USA Today, and creator and Chairman Emeritus of the Rudd Center for Professional Wine Studies at the Culinary Institute of America in the Napa Valley.   Highlights Where did the idea to write The Wine Bible come from? How is The Wine Bible different for you, as a reader, from other comprehensive wine books? How does wine help you to immerse yourself in other cultures? Why does hearing the story behind a wine create a more enjoyable experience for you? What was it like to try to break into the male-dominated New York wine scene in the 1970s? How can you confidently charge your worth? Why do you see significantly fewer women than men with the Master Sommelier designation in the US? What types of roles would you see typically filled by women in the wine industry? How does the proportion of female executives in the wine industry compare to corporate America? How has the "Me Too" movement impacted the wine industry? Why was the naming of Karen's book so emotional? What hurdle was Karen able to overcome with 8 years of silence? How does Karen believe some women in the wine world are downplaying themselves?   About Karen MacNeil Karen MacNeil is the only American to have won every major wine award given in the English language.

What does leadershi...Rachel Kyte CMG is the 14th Dean of The Fletcher School at Tufts University, and the first woman to lead the oldest graduate school of international affairs in the United States, where she took her Global Master of Arts in 2002. Prior to joining Fletcher, Rachel was Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General and CEO of Sustainable Energy for All. Before that, Rachel was World Bank Group vice president and special envoy for climate change, leading the Bank Group’s efforts to refocus its operations towards supporting a sustainable global economy and campaigning for the passage of the Paris Agreement.

Rachel reflects on a career spent in the development sector, reflecting on its weaknesses and providing positive examples of countries making good use of international funding. In the second half of the conversation, Rachel talks about the extreme polarization and persistent racial inequality in the US, how she wants to improve diversity as the new Dean of the Fletcher School at Tufts, and how she hopes to help her graduates avoid becoming the next generation of rabble-rousing populists. Useful links: Rachel’s biohttps://fletcher.tufts.edu/people/rachel-kyteRachel’s Wikipedia entryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_KyteThe Fletcher School of International Affairs at Tuftshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_KyteFletcher’s School Dean Kyte’s statement on inclusion and racial justice https://fletcher.tufts.edu/news-events/news/statement-dean-rachel-kyteSustainable Energy For All (SE4All) https://www.seforall.org/State of the Global Mini-grids Market Report 2020 (report by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) and BloombergNEF)https://minigrids.org/market-report-2020/Climate action does not require economic sacrifice (2015 World Bank blog by Rachel Kyte) https://minigrids.org/market-report-2020/About Cleaning UpOnce a week Michael Liebreich has a conversation (and a drink) with a leader in clean energy, mobility, climate finance or sustainable development.Each episode covers the technical ground on some aspect of the low-carbon transition – but it also delves into the nature of leadership in the climate transition: whether to be optimistic or pessimistic; how to communicate in order to inspire change; personal credos; and so on.And it should be fun – most of the guests are Michael’s friends.Follow Cleaning Up on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MLCleaningUpLinks to other Podcast Platforms: https://www.cleaningup.live/

What is sustainability? What is the environmental impact of beef and dairy production in the US? What are the drivers of climate change? Dr. Sara Place is the Chief Sustainability Officer at Elanco Animal Health. Today we discuss greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), how cattle are a solution to providing a sustainable food source for humans, and why the Food and Agriculture Organization’s report on GHG production attributable to the beef and dairy industry is flawed. Cattle are the ultimate answer to sustainability by harnessing energy from the sun, utilizing human indigestible plants, and turning it into high quality digestible human protein. For more information, tune in to the AABP webinar with Dr. Place on this topic on July 28th. AABP webinar schedule can be found at this link. Find out more about Dr. Place here.

  Marina Ahun's website: https://www.marinaahun.com/ Stanislas Berteloot Hello, Marina Ahun or Ahun-Babaeva, Welcome to back in America.Marina Ahun Thank you.Stanislas Berteloot Marina, you are an artist and I would like you to tell me about your art. How would you describe your art styleMarina Ahun I have different art styles different. I move back and forth between two styles: realistic presentation of subject matter and abstract, and between two mediums.When I'm looking for urban street scenes that will become a realistic painting, I use watercolor. When I do abstract painting, I use oil. And I have no idea what the painting is going to look like when things the painting dictates its own source. The process complements one another beautifully and pure attraction, strengthen what I'm able to do when I'm painting I realistically.Stanislas Berteloot before being an artist, you began your carrier as an archaeology core artist. Talk to me about some of the projects you worked on at the time.Marina Ahun I draw all things archeological found in the ground, coins, sculptures terracotta, or whatever when they foundStanislas Berteloot and where were you working at the time?Marina That time I lived in Uzbekistan and married a native Uzbek.Uzbekistan is in Muslim countryand in 13 years I was in Uzbekistan I never felt welcomed. The attitude toward Russians who is almost all white people blue eyes in Soviet block Country after collapse where uncertain especially in Muslim oneStanislas Berteloot let's go back to your walk at the time. You were an archaeological artist. You told us that you were drawing artifacts that were found. Where? Where did they come from those objectsMarina from the ground in Uzbekistan is especially in Samarkand. They have real big archeologist objects, and years they working to find these big cities and just work on that.Stanislas Berteloot Okay. Did you like your work at the time?Marina Actually I drew, and I like what I did, and I see the result. And that result was published in a few books.Stanislas Berteloot You were born in the Ural Mountains of Russia. Tell me about your memories at the time. You know, when were you born? What can you remember from that early time of your life?Marina Oh I was happy as any child, around family a happy family. And I remember at the same time, I attended to middle school, music school to study play piano, art school, and study.my choice was art, but my sister's choice was to play the piano.Stanislas Berteloot So What year were you born?Marina 1962.Stanislas Berteloot How old were you when you move to study in St Petersburg? And how did it feel moving from, you know, your birth city to this big city in Russia?Marina After graduating high school, I immediately went to St. Petersburg, and six years I spent at the Repin Institute was hard but the rewarding that Institut current name is Imperial Academy of Fine Arts. And I was either very lucky or very talented to have gotten into one of the top art schools in Europe. From what I have seen, American art education is not as difficult because they don't emphasize the importance of basic education in the artistic style. This point between I think is important and after study, realistic discipline, you can move to any other style easily.Stanislas Berteloot but I'm also interested in your impression of the city and the life That you lived in St. Petersburg, you know, coming from the montane of this industrial city and arriving in St. Petersburg. How did it feel?Marina St. Petersburg is that big, big city and very, very beautiful. And every American who went there say how beautiful it is. And I was impressed. And when I felt like, not comfortable or something was going on right, we just went to the streets, just walk around the buildings, enjoy it and all my uncomfortable feelings went away.Stanislas Berteloot Were you living with other students at the time?Marina Yes, of course.Stanislas Berteloot Yeah. So was it a fun period of your life? Oh I think that time affects me in the best way as you can imagine, and built my character or they have totell me some of the best memory that you have from that time in St. Petersburg.MarinaOh, howMarina it's to deal with help from other students and from professors and they are still at high educated and they teach us each You know, brushstroke each pencil mark and but it's was a feeling realistically presentation all subject matter and we have to study hard.Stanislas Berteloot But that was some of your best memory the help that you got from your fellow students and your professors.Yeah.Okay, I see you smile on camera and I can imagine that it was a fantastic time of your life. So, despite all that, life was tough for you in Russia and you decided to move to the US in 2002. Can you give me some of the reason why you decided to move to the USMarina Oh! Reason one was the collapse of the Soviet Union because living in Uzbekistan in a Muslim country here under Muslim rule, rules both as a woman and as an artist, it was really hard and difficult to everyone.Stanislas Berteloot So you arrived in the US you apply for political asylum because of religious discrimination? That's correct, right?Marina Yes, correct.My family and my husband right now it's my ex-husband and my daughter came to the United State and relief in the form ofStanislas Berteloot what are some of the things that struck you when you arrived in the US? What are some of the details you remember of your first impression stepping in the US?Marina Oh, freedom. When I first came to America, I lived in a Russian neighborhood in Trenton because I had a friend in the group who had a friend who knew someone here. It was just the way it worked out, because I didn't know anyone here.Stanislas Berteloot Did you speak English when you arrived?Marina Oh, that time my English was really poor.Stanislas Berteloot So you say that one of the first feelings you had arriving in the US was freedom. But what are some of the visual images? You remember from that time? You know what are some of the things you saw? That was like very surprising to you?Marina Start with freedom some, my friends have picked me up from the airport and I just took around and was just impressed. She was something I never experienced in the Soviet Union. And in Uzbekistan, it's completely different architecture and completely different how people walk, how people talk, and how the are between each other. Everything is completely differentIt's a different playing ground.Stanislas Berteloot Yeah, of course, of course. How did you manage to make a living at the time? Were you supported by a government program by nonprofit Russian groups, you know, well, how did you liveMarina Actually. I camein and have just a tourist visa. And after that, I applied for a work permit and green card. And in order to survive financially, I started teaching droid to private student, and almost all my student was Russian.Stanislas Berteloot So in 2010, you became the only licensed and commissioned artist by Princeton University. What does that really mean? And how did it help you in your work?Marina That time it's mean a lot. Um, I was unknown artist andoveral thinking thatmy art is not perfect. But when I came to the Communication Office of Princeton University they immediately commissioned me to paint more and more and later on, they produce calendar official Princeton University calendar for 18 months and bought my 18 drawings.Stanislas Berteloot So that really helps you to be more known in the Princeton area more recognized as an artist rightMarina right, rightthat time I drew, just architectural renderings and some using watercolor draw flowers, portraits who is asking for having a portrait of themselves. And the time I didn't start any abstract paintings,Stanislas Berteloot and are you still doing this kind of realistic paintings or are you more focused on abstract painting nowadays?Marina Actually. I love realistic paintings. And I think it's the most beautiful painting which one can exactly produce what you see around in our nature for flowers and everything is so beautiful and just realistically representation can show you how they are.Stanislas Berteloot So then your life took a different turn in 2017 in the dead of winter in December, your apartment burned down and you lost everything. You have no insurance at the time, and I believe your daughter takes you with herIs that right?Marina Yeah.Oh it was a really difficult time and it was December 27 2017 end of the year and before the new year and cold cold weather and all my apartment was destroyed and most affected by that fire. And with the most affected 4 of 24 units in that building and one off that four units, it was mine and I had no insurance. I sustained the majority of the fireand fire Fighter damageand all my...It's difficult to talk about this because I still didn't get a reimbursement andI understand that having no insurance, renter's insurance, it's a real. bad choice and I can tell seven, just seven of 23 surviving tenants had renter's insurance. And it's not just me who had decided to live in a unite without renterIn unitedo not have any insurance. Oh, so soStanislas Berteloot yeah. How has your life been since thenMarina I'm still facing thehuge task of rebuilding my life and thinking God must really have a fantastic plan for me to put me through this terrible process. And I hopeone day I will not have a tear on my eyes when I talk about this and it's gonna be just memory bad my memory about just my memory. It's breaks my heart to think that this had all been a disaster without any reason. I tried to find why it's happened exactly to me. But I don't answerStanislas Berteloot your religious person.Marina Yes, I do believe in God. Yes. And I pray God, yes, I do believe in God.And I hopeall the religionsgive you some hope. And that hope canrebuild your life, at least hope.Stanislas Berteloot Why is your daughter not able to sustain you? To help you financially?Marina Because she's my daughter,Stanislas Berteloot and you don't want to depend I knowMarina we help each other I do somethings. She did some somethings. I care about, the preparing of the food and clean everything and see offer me some support with food.Stanislas Berteloot We are living in difficult times and this summer you were planning to teach at Mercer Community College. But the summer camp where you were to teach has been canceled. How did that affect you?MarinaOh yeahMarina all Coronavirus things and what happened with that COVID-19 affect everyone and that exactly how lost the job. Which one I think it's gonna help me survive.Stanislas Berteloot So what did you do when you learn that the job was canceled?Marina pray Godthis Coronavirus disappears.Stanislas Berteloot How did you manage to just survive day to day without any revenue?Marina I still work on my art and producing architectural renderings of Princeton University campus on Princeton. University Board bought my 18 drawings right now I produced 10 more drawings and start a new series of Gargoyles and of the Tiger of Princeton University. And I like how it's coming out. And I made postcards and I'm selling these cards through the Labirynth bookstore and Princeton University art museums tour, and they and I sold and still selling my drawing. So it gave me some sort of money. I just want to say how grateful I am that Share My Meals has been created assistance for people like me, who are in need. By providing food resourcesStanislas Berteloot so three times a week you receive a prepared meal delivered by one of the volunteersMarina Yes, I received three times a week prepared food and I'm grateful to Share My Meals, people, for the amazing supportStanislas Berteloot The rest of the time, where do you get your food from?Marina I got food from Arm in Arm and Jewish center Family Center and I participate to Corner Kitchenin a United Methodist Church,Stanislas Berteloot so given the situation and given all the hardship that you are going through, do you see sometimes regret leaving your mother country.Marina Oh, no.No, I wasreally happy to be born in the Soviet Union. And that time in the Soviet Union was a really powerful country and life until the Soviet Union collapse was really good. And I was happy to live there and I'm so glad that I was born there. But after, like 1990s life in the Soviet Union was so bad and still not really comfortable as I know from my friendsStanislas Berteloot Do you have a message that you would like to communicate with people or maybe something that your experience your life experience has taught you so far?Marina I think the most important is that you never know what life will throw at you and everyone can experience a terrible tragedy like a fire or flood and just need to come down and pray God `and I think the lesson which one gave to your lifestyle supposed to be taken and have some study from that plus some and I did.Stanislas Berteloot Okay, thank you. So finally, my, the last question I have, which I've always asked in every single episode of Back in America is, what is America to you?Marina America, for me, is a good country.And I wonder, if the same situation had happened in Russia, what I'm gonna do, and how are you gonna survived? And I think that it's gonna be a worse situation than what I experienced in the United States. And I just want to thanks everyone in the Princeton community for their help and support and God Bless all the people of Princeton.Stanislas Berteloot Marina, thank you so much for accepting to share your story with Back in America. And good luck to you.Marina Thank you, Stan. Thank you. Thank you
