Most Advanced iPhone Exploit Ever, Google’s $5 Billion Settlement, Apple’s Journal App
In this episode, we discuss the most sophisticated iPhone exploit ever, Google’s agreement to settle a $5 billion lawsuit about tracking users in ‘incognito’ mode, and a new iOS app, Journal. The iPhone exploit, known as Operation Triangulation, has complex chains of events that lead to compromised iPhone security. Meanwhile, the lawsuit against Google claims that the company’s technology was still tracking users’ site visits even in ‘incognito’ mode. The newly added Journal app on iOS has raised questions and discussions on its security and privacy features as it encourages users to put their life updates on the app.

The Year in Review and 2024 Predictions
In our last episode of the year, we replay our predictions for 2023 reviewing what we got right and what we didn’t. We cover various topics, such as Twitter’s influence, the future of Mastodon, the ban of TikTok in certain states, and the rising issue of ransomware. In addition, we give credit to Scott for accurately predicting multiple cybersecurity events during the year! We also share our expectations for 2024 — predicting increased AI adoption, many more cybersecurity layoffs, more consolidation in InfoSec, and implementation of flawed legislation targeting symptoms instead of causes.

Password Security for the Elderly: Tips and Best Practices
In episode 308, we discuss the often overlooked topic of password management for the elderly. Addressing the commonly held belief that writing down passwords is a bad idea, we discuss the nuances and context of this practice. Elderly individuals who may struggle with technology can benefit from recording passwords, but we discuss the importance of putting suitable controls around this. We also touch on usability issues associated with technology changes and the consequences of not planning for what happens to a person’s digital presence after they pass away.
Do you have your own tips or stories of your experiences with passwords and the elderly? We would love to hear your comments on our YouTube video, on X, or on the episode post on sharedsecurity.net!

Apple Finally Adopts RCS, AI Powered Scams Targeting the Elderly
In this episode, Tom shows off AI generated images of a “Lonely and Sad Security Awareness Manager in a Dog Pound” and the humorous outcomes. The conversation shifts to Apple’s upcoming support for Rich Communication Services (RCS) and the potential security implications. Lastly, Tom and Kevin reflect on reports of AI-powered voice cloning scams targeting elderly Americans, and argue that the true issue lies with social engineering rather than the involvement of AI.

Paying Big Tech for Privacy, New Privacy Policy Study, Biden’s Executive Order on AI
In this week’s episode of the Shared Security Podcast, hosts Tom Eston, Scott Wright and Kevin Johnson tackle a number of topics related to AI, privacy and security. They begin with an amusing discussion about their respective roles on the podcast, before shifting to big tech’s use of user data and whether subscribers should pay to not have their data used. The focus then turns to a recent move by Meta to charge European users who wish to use Instagram and Facebook without ads.
Next, they touch on new research from NordVPN about the burdensome length and complexity of privacy policies on popular websites, and offer alternatives for consumers to navigate them.
Lastly, the hosts discuss a new executive order by the Biden administration directed towards AI companies, calling for a watermark system to alert consumers when they interact with an AI-enabled product. They express concerns about businesses benefiting from the new AI rules while potentially stifling competition and highlight the need for stronger, enforceable laws to truly protect users’ data and privacy.
