Tracking the charities that track you online with Chris Boyd
23 november 2020 · 42 min
Today we look at two topics that, maybe surprisingly, intersect: charity organizations and online ad tracking. Lees meer
Ad tracking isn't new—luxury brands used to place their advertisements specifically in newspapers that delivered to high-income zip codes. But today's ad tracking supercharges that match-making game with a complex, opaque machinery that can track what you do online, what websites you visit, what browser you use, and even your gender, religion, and political bias.
To help us better understand how charity organizations utilize ad tracking tools—and why that could concern some users—we’re speaking with Chris Boyd, lead malware intelligence analyst for Malwarebytes.

Investigating digital vulnerabilities in our physical world with Samy Kamkar
28 september 2020 · 32 min
A recent history of hacking shows the importance of experimentation. In 2015, security researchers hacked a Jeep Cherokee and took over its steering, transmission, and brakes.

17 augustus 2020 · 36 min
