Guten Morgen, bevor es hier zu besinnlich wird...ich habe mal wieder über die elektronische Patientenakte EPA geschrieben. Es lohnt sich, jetzt zu entscheiden, ob man dieser widersprechen will (wer das nicht tut, landet mit seinen/ihren Gesundheitsdaten in diesem System). Noch immer nehmen die Verantwortlichen leider die Sicherheit nicht ernst genug - unter anderem, indem sie den russischen Geheimdienst für die Sicherheit als "nicht relevant" bezeichnen. https://www.zeit.de/digital/datenschutz/2024-12/elektronische-patientenakte-it-sicherheit-datenschutz-geheimdienste #cybersecurity
#Cyberkriminelle locken mit verführerischen Angeboten auf sozialen Medien und verbreiten stattdessen #Malware. Betroffen sind Windows- und Mac-Nutzer, die sich Info-Stealer wie Lumma und Atomic Stealer einfangen.
Weekly output: Android 16, Mark Vena podcast, CISA communications-security advice
I hope this finds you well and with family this holiday season, by which I mean I hope that family tech support has not been too strenuous whether you’re the provider or the recipient of it.

This short post covered the second developer preview of Android 16, moving forward on an earlier development cycle than previous releases of Google’s mobile operating system.
My major contribution to this episode of my tech-analyst pal’s podcast was trying to unpack the agenda of incoming Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr.
I’ve been impressed for the past few years by how the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency offers specific and actionable advice even if it may upset some vendors. CISA stuck to that pattern with the guidance it issued to people high enough in government or politics to draw the attention of Chinese state-sponsored hackers who have burrowed deeply into U.S. telecom infrastructure–guidance that included the seemingly counter-intuitive advice not to use a VPN for privacy protection because that only transfers the privacy risk from your current sources of connectivity to a single company. I think CISA’s right about that, certainly in the context of most PCMag readers. And in my own case: My major use case for VPNs these days is to evade geoblocking restrictions, like when I’m trying to read GDPR-incompliant U.S. news sites from somewhere in the EU.
🤡 Cisco hat uns heute für Anfang Januar ein exklusives Interview mit deren Deutschland-Chef angeboten. Digitalisierung und Deutschland und blabla. Mein Kollege von ZEIT ONLINE so: Klar machen wir gerne, wir haben da ja auch noch ein paar Fragen. Verweist auf meine #Webex-Recherche, bei der Cisco die Kommunkation abgebrochen hat.
Vereinbart Termin, alles klar.
Eine Stunde später ruft die Agentur wieder an: Cisco will doch nicht mit uns sprechen.

FYI, holidays are 'great for scammers. Or they may just randomly target you via the 'drag net' method any day.
👉🏿ALWAYS be skeptical of a Company or person who wants your personal info or financial info. 👈🏿 Treat your personal info LIKE it is money. It essentially is to hackers and scammers.
