To kick off episode 107, we head to Kazakhstan. A while back, the government asked its citizens to install a certificate so they could monitor all traffic. Now Google, Apple and Mozilla have blocked that tracking in their browsers.<\/p>\n<p>We then head over to the twisting saga of Valve, their bug bounty program and a researcher dropping two zero days. This is an interesting tale and one that seems to encompass some of the issues with current bug bounty programs and what is a bug that is needs to be fixed. After that, we head to the all-too-messy tale of a T-Mobile customer who had her location data given over to a bounty-hunter. This person, in turn harassed her in a serious manner. If you read one story this week, this one is the one to read.<\/p>\n<input type=\"hidden\" class=\"category_for_banner\" value=\"kis-trial-privacy\">\n<p>The next story looks at how Xbox contractors had been listening into some customers\u2019 voice commands \u2014 joining the mile-long list of other services caught doing the same thing. We end out the podcast with a pair of PSA\u2019s from Facebook. One is a new data deletion feature, or should we say disconnection feature. The other is simply a <em>Please STOP!<\/em> for those posting copyright texts to Facebook and Instagram \u2014 they do nothing.<\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy the podcast, consider subscribing and sharing with your friends who need more regular updates on security.
