THESE apps had HIDDEN code secretly sending data to US Intelligence! Apr 07, 2022

Show notes

Hidden code in certain apps has been sending your data to... a US Intelligence defense contractor??
Apparently app creators were PAID to put an SDK from Measurement Systems into their app, which harvested data like precise location, email, and phone numbers, nearby computers and mobile devices, information that is stored in the phone’s clipboard including passwords, and it had the ability to scan parts of the phone’s file system, including specifically the files stored in the WhatsApp downloads folder.
According to the WSJ, the company collecting the data "is linked through corporate records and web registrations to a Virginia defense contractor that does cyber intelligence, network-defense and intelligence-intercept work for U.S. national-security agencies."
We give you all the details.

THESE hackers target the POLICE to get YOUR data! Mar 31, 2022

Show notes

A new report reveals that hackers are gaining access to sensitive data about us from tech companies like ISPs, phone providers, social media companies, by impersonating law enforcement and demanding data as "an urgent matter of life and death."
They use a tool called Emergency Data Requests (EDRs), and we'll dive into what these are, and why they're allowing our most sensitive data to be leaked.
For a thorough analysis, visit the news site that broke the story: Krebs on Security

So you’ve finally bought crypto.
What do you do with it?
Some people will still tell you that you can't do anything with it. That might have been true over a decade ago, but these days you can actually spend your crypto anywhere you want to: thanks to crypto credit and debit cards.
There are even cards that are non-custodial and don't require KYC!
We dive into the Dash Direct mastercard, and the BitPay mastercard, looking at the pros and cons of each.

MAJOR breakthroughs in aging research you MUST know about! Mar 21, 2022

Show notes

Is it possible to cure aging, meaning to prevent the damage that occurs to cells that leads to so much suffering in the elderly? Is it possible to fortify the body so that it can exist in its healthiest form for hundreds, or even thousands of years?
Large swaths of the scientific community believe that this is not only possible, but it might be possible within our lifetime, and HUGE amounts of money are now pouring into this research.
Aging research has always existed, but what's changed is that recently there have been some MAJOR breakthroughs.
We're going to look at 3:

- Methylation clocks
- Cell reprogramming
These are MAJOR breakthroughs that you need to know about.
