006 - Social Media Security, Case Study and More

After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back with another episode of The Streetwise Security Zone Podcast. In this episode, I review some of the risks and tips covered in more technical detail in the new Social Media Security Podcast that I launched with Tom Eston and Kevin Johnson. I also review a case study from the Security Views blog, and do a quick tour through the Streetwise Security Zone website's home page.

You can listen to the podcast while viewing this page in The Streetwise Security Zone website by clicking on the "Play" icon in the player widget above, or you can download it by clicking on the "Down Arrow" at the left side of the widget. It's also available through iTunes via the iTunes link in the left hand column in The Streetwise Security Zone Podcast page of the website.

Case Study

A look at how ISPs can spy on you through your Blackberry and iPhone. Sounds a little over-hyped, but it has happened to subscribers of an ISP in the Middle-East. The blog text version of this case can be found by clicking HERE.
