In a recent episode of CYBER, Motherboard’s podcast, discussions revolved around various cyber security concerns including an insecure hiking app that tracked a former Biden official, a breach in the LastPass password manager, Twitter’s decision to stop supporting Tor, and cheating allegations in the online game ‘Escape from Tarkov’.
  

Key Points: 

  1. The hiking app AllTrails has exposed precise movement data of a former top Biden official, raising concerns over data privacy.
  2. LastPass, which markets itself as a secure password manager, has faced a security breach, suggesting it might not be as safe as users expect.
  3. Twitter has abandoned support for Tor, an anti-censorship tool, possibly impacting those in regions where internet censorship is prevalent.
  4. The online game ‘Escape From Tarkov’ has been hit with severe cheating accusations.
  5. The CYBER podcast provides insights into current cyber security concerns and is broadcast live on platforms like Twitch and YouTube.
