Audio: Bruce Schneier, NSA and Toaster Hacking
In G-Force, the 2009 Disney movie, a group of secret agent rodents stops a kitchen gadget robot apocalypse. In the real world, we’re in no danger from weaponized blenders, but our toasters just might be used in a denial of service attack.
Rivera Sun and Getch talk with computer security, and privacy specialist, Bruce Schneier. We get the scoop on the latest from the NSA, as well as the security vulnerabilities in the vast internet of things, this week on Occupy Radio.
Audio: Bruce Schneier talks about the Shift of Power on the Internet
‘’It’s only metadata’ is a mischaracterization that plays into goverment hands.’—Bruce Schneier
At the 2014 Source Conference in Boston, I was able to sit down with Bruce Schneier after his keynote to clarify his position on several topics he brought up. The Twitter stream was on fire during his presentation as he described how the power of government and large corporations affects the internet. Where are the boundaries between personal data and corporate/government usage of that data? What is our responsibility in the equation?
An interesting observation from Bruce is that despite the government’s insistence that they are only collecting metadata, which according to them has no intrinsic value, that presupposes metadata is somehow less important or less personal when it comes to interrogating the data. This despite that it can be used to generate a network of contacts such as …
Audio: Google Moves to Take Back the Net from Spying Eyes
News emerged this week that web giant Google is routinely encrypting web searches conducted in China in a move designed to offset the national government’s ability to censor the Internet and track what individuals are viewing. The Google move is part of a global expansion of privacy technology to counter surveillance by government intelligence agencies, police and hackers and is seen as a direct consequence of whistleblower, Edward Snowden’s release last year of US National Security Agency (NSA) documents exposing the extent of government surveillance of the Internet…

Audio: Delving into the Security of an Internet of Things
If your car, your thermostat, and your refrigerator are all online and communicating with the world, is enough attention being given to who might be listening—or talking—to your networked things? And what happens if there’s a security flaw in the networking component of, say, your toaster? Security expert Bruce Schneier says that the world is at a crisis point regarding embedded network security, and that an Internet of Things could mean ubiquitous surveillance.

Audio: Removing Yourself from the Public-Private Surveillance Web
You signed up for government surveillance when you signed up for your email address. Not knowingly perhaps, (although who actually reads the user agreement?) but NSA spying is only possible with the help of the same private companies you trust with your data in the first place. The individual/government/corporate relationship has never been so exposed and so (hopefully) up for debate. Security technologist Bruce Schneier should be one of the voices you listen to in that debate.
