Craig Peterson's Tech Talk

Good morning everybody!  I was on WGAN this morning with Matt Gagnon. We began talking about Facial Recognition and some of the drawbacks and the rush to use it when it has not been thoroughly tested and vetted.   Then we talked about the reasons for the shortage of Gaming Consoles and other computing equipment.  Finally, we got to how we are losing the war against hackers and why.  Here we go with Matt. And more tech tips, news, and updates, visit - CraigPeterson.com. --- Automated Machine Generated Transcript: Craig Peterson: [00:00:00] Good morning, Mr. Matt Gagnon and I got into a few things, including why you just can't find some of these game computers out there anymore. Facial recognition, some more warnings about the future here, frankly. Also, what the United States is doing to help protect itself, and the short answer is not much. So here we go with Mr. Matt Gagnon. Matt Gagnon: [00:00:26] It's Wednesday morning. Thanks so much for listening. We've got Craig Peterson with us right now, as he always

Welcome! Good morning, everybody. I was on WTAG this morning with Jim Polito.  We got into a couple of interesting topics, but we started off with the new James Bond movie and why they are re-shooting some of the scenes. We talked about our arrogance and why we may lose the war against hacking.  Then we discussed an infrastructure hack against a water plant here in the US. Then we talked about how President Biden has responded to the SolarWinds hack and why that response may create a huge problem.  Here we go with Jim.

Now all of a sudden, we're getting hacked by our own tools that were developed by us to hack them.  They're them in this are getting smarter and smarter. Good morning, everybody on with Mr. Polito this morning, we talked a little bit about movies and the new Daniel Craig, James Bond that might come out sometime within the next

Welcome, Craig Peterson here. I was on with Chris Ryan on NH Today. We talked about some of the misguided legislation being pushed by Amy Klobacher regarding big tech with her regulatory solution to anti-trust.  Then we got into Facial recognition and expose.ai. Here we go with Chris.  These and more tech tips, news, and updates visit. - CraigPeterson.com ---  Automated Machine Generated Transcript: Craig Peterson: [00:00:00] Now we also see that many other companies have entered into that marketplace without our permission to use our faces. So if you want to check right now, this is a great thing that the New York Times did. They have exposed this a little bit, but go to exposing.ai. Senator Amy Klobuchar has introduced some legislation to try and hold big tech a little bit more accountable. I'm afraid I have to disagree with her approach. Also, we talked about an article in New York about facial recognition and some of the things we're doing that we probably shouldn't be doing. So here we go with Mr. Chris

Welcome!   It is another busy week on the technology front.  We delve into the Military's use of drones and AI.  We will discuss why Facebook thinks Apple has declared war.  Ransomware is up. It turns out that many of those who were victims of the SolarWinds hack did not use their software. They were breached because they had misconfiguration.

The big snowstorm, good news, maybe more snow on the way I use, shouldn't have been complaining about the fact that we didn't have much of a winter this year because it sure did hit us. Here, up in New Hampshire, we can get snow, even in early April, which is not something to look forward to. It does go away quickly if it comes at the time of year. Hey, I was on with Mr. Matt Gagnon this

I was on with Mr. Chris Ryan this morning and I gave, I thought it was a pretty good explanation of the risks when it comes to online trading. I'm not really a trading expert, obviously, and I'm not talking about which platforms to use. I think it was a bit of an eye-opener. I got a lot of time to talk this morning. I did a decent job. Anyways, here it goes. I gave a couple of examples too, from close friends and family and how they got messed up. Chris Ryan: [00:00:32] Craig Peterson joins us right now on the program. The host of tech talk. Craig, how are you? Craig Peterson: [00:00:38] Hey, I am doi

Welcome!   With the rapid pace of change unleashed this past week through Executive Orders, we are now a lot less secure than we were just a month ago and it is going to get a lot worse. But there are somethings you can do technologically to protect your privacy and stay a little more secure. Cloudjacking is possible mainly due to the failure to use secure passwords and a different password for every site and every application you use. Just doing that makes it almost impossible for hackers to carry out their trade. Chrome and by default Microsoft's Edge Browser have put something in their browser to help -- not alleviate but help with this problem.  You can do better by using a true Password Manager and we will get into that as well. Speaking of privacy, the US government is going around its own requirements and buying your location data and other personal information they are not allowed to collect from Data aggregators. We will get into that as well.  Then did you know that the new administration has put s

Good morning everybody!  I was on WGAN this morning with Matt Gagnon and started this morning talking about Cloud Jacking what it is and how it is done.  Then we discussed how to prevent it and that is by having good strong passwords that are different for each site you visit.  We discussed password managers.  Then we got into how the Government is getting around laws on tracking you -- they are buying data from Data aggregators.
