Episode 03: Protect Your Tech Pt. 2

from Give Me Tech Hosted by Tom's Guide

Another week, another security leak. On this episode of Give Me Tech!, we bring back our security experts, senior editor Paul Wagenseil and senior writer Jill Scharr to discuss the latest security news and how you can protect your precious data. First up, in what might be the biggest security breach to date, Home Depot has announced that it may have been hacked. If the popular home improvement hub's security has been compromised, at least 400 million customers' credit card information could be at risk. However some customers might have more to lose than others. Is your data safe? Due to the work of unscrupulous hackers, over 100 celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence's nude photos have been leaked to Reddit. The fallout has been swift, including cease-and-desist orders, plenty of hand-wringing and not a small amount of victim blaming. We discuss the best ways to keep your photos secure, and why not taking nude pics isn't the answer.
