Plus, I chat with New York Times Tech Columnist Kashmir Hill about Clearview AI, the Shazam for faces with nearly 30 billion scraped from the web. I’ll also touch on a night-prowling police drone, bosses spying with tech, and a heads up for travelers — hackers might be lurking.
One of the most important parts of my job is making sure you know what criminals and cybercreeps are up to. Enough people fall for this junk — I don’t want you to be a victim, too.
The FBI is warning about tech support scams that robbed folks of a whopping $542 million in just the first half of 2023. It all starts with a notification that looks like it’s from your bank or even the government warning of a computer hack. You guessed it. They’re fake.
This is so cool, and it’s happening this Sunday. ESPN and Disney are teaming up for a one-of-a-kind NFL experience.
While you’ve got your usual Falcons vs. Jaguars action from London happening in Week 4 on ESPN+, local channels and the NFL+ mobile app, a new twist comes from the magical world of “Toy Story.”
It’s a cozy Friday evening, and you just started streaming your favorite show. But, as the plot thickens, your Wi-Fi takes an unexpected hiatus. Annoying, right?

Think the cloud is a safe bet for your data? In a world of increasing data breaches, hackers and threats, even cloud storage might not be enough. So, why not look to the stars — or, better yet, the moon?
NASA is partnering with Lonestar, a Florida-based computing startup, and the Isle of Man, that self-governing British Crown Dependency you might’ve never heard about.
If you’re like me, you scan online reviews before adding that big “something” to a shopping cart … choosing a new plumber or finding a place to get sushi — OK, you get the idea. And you probably are like me: Up to 99% of buyers look up online reviews before purchasing, well, anything.
If you’ve ever thought of building something as big as the Komando Media Empire, you must know that teamwork and collaboration are key. That’s why we’re all three days a week (at least) in the broadcast center. I would never implement what TikTok is doing with RTO (return to office) policies.
