They are the apps and hardware products people use to connect to the internet, and they are as secure as a sieve is water tight. The Wall Street Journal published a report on them June 15 and. Back in March the FBI issued an alert abut the dangers they pose. The DCA produced their own report that was, frankly, more informative about the problem.The podcast is sponsored by Haven, a free internet browser extension that protects you from phishing links and malicious sites before you ever click.
