Our latest newsletter covers "technology-assisted contact tracing" proposals that hopefully balance your privacy with fighting the pandemic, a Twitter bug in Firefox, and more: looseleafsecurity.com/episod… And, as always, we are once again asking for you to take software updates.

This week's newsletter tip talks more about how to stay secure in the videoconferencing era. We also cover the rise of scams related to COVID-19, how the pandemic has changed society's threat models, and (of course) the importance of software updates. looseleafsecurity.com/episod…
We hope you're staying safe, and we hope your computers are staying safe too. Our latest newsletter covers hackable car keys and voting apps, a proposed US law that would ban end-to-end encryption, and more: looseleafsecurity.com/episod…
By the way, if you (like us) have installed a bunch of videoconferencing apps recently, check out our episode from last fall on why and how you should cover your webcam: looseleafsecurity.com/episod…
What's the risk of having social media accounts you haven't logged into in years? Our latest newsletter covers that plus Amazon's new surveillance supermarket, China's new app that tracks both you and your fever, and much more: looseleafsecurity.com/episod…
Why is uBlock Origin asking for new permissions? How do you convince your apartment building to let you opt out of "smart" locks? And should you buy The Best Security Product? Find the answers in our latest newsletter: looseleafsecurity.com/episod…
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
if you subscribed to our newsletter,

ICYMI, our most recent newsletter covers how ICE finds people with mobile ads and fake cell towers, the risks of online voting without paper trails, and how a journalist made his own Clearview out of public tools and 200,000 Instagram photos. Check it out: looseleafsecurity.com/episod…
In our latest weekly newsletter: a Norwegian government agency that's (understandably) really mad about the ad industry, how society isn't prepared for technologies beyond facial recognition, and one of our favorite #SuperbOwls. looseleafsecurity.com/episod…
Happy Thanksgiving! Often, security and privacy news can be disappointing, worrying, and even dystopian, so we covered some security and privacy advances we're grateful for in our latest newsletter: looseleafsecurity.com/episod…
Two-factor authentication is great, but some websites only let you have a single authenticator app at once, which is risky. In today's newsletter we talk about a trick to set up two authenticator apps with such websites in our new Tip of the Week section: looseleafsecurity.com/episod…
iOS 13.1 is out today, so if you’ve got an iPhone or iPad, be sure to check for updates. By the way, our latest newsletter is also out today! If you want to sign up or see past issues, head here: looseleafsecurity.com/newsle…
Should you physically cover your webcam when you're not using it? Some people might say, "Can't an attacker who can get to your webcam do far worse?" Our latest episode covers cases where that's not quite true: looseleafsecurity.com/episod…
We also talk about other good reasons to cover your webcam: scammers who pretend to have embarrassing video of you and school officials who watch students in their bedrooms. Plus, we walk through the concerns about sharing ownership of devices with your employer.
By the way, we're starting a weekly newsletter! We'll be writing brief summaries of interesting security news that didn't make it into a podcast episode, and we'll also let you know about new Loose Leaf Security episodes and articles. Sign up at looseleafsecurity.com/newsle… .
