In this episode, we discuss two major tech stories impacting privacy and security. First, we analyze Ring’s new AI-powered ‘Search Party’ feature and its controversial Super Bowl ad that sparked privacy concerns. We then transition to a breaking story about a zero-click remote code execution flaw in the Claude Desktop, highlighting the potential risks of AI. The hosts also reflect on their most popular YouTube episode on why Gen Z is ditching smartphones. ** Links mentioned on the show ** How to disable Search Party on your Ring Camera Open the Ring app, tap the hamburger menu, then choose “Control Center.” Here, choose “Search Party,” then choose the “blue Pet icon” next to each of your cameras for “Search for Lost Pets.” Ring’s ‘Search Party’ Feature Is Creepy, but You Can Disable It https://lifehacker.com/tech/how-to-disable-rings-search-party-feature ‘Dystopian’ Super Bowl Ad for Ring Camera Gets Bipartisan Blowback: ‘Propaganda for Mass Surveillance’ https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/dystopian-super-bowl-ad-ring-170548614.html Claude Desktop Extensions Zero-Click RCE Flaw Exposes Over 10,000 Users to Silent Attacks https://cyberpress.org/claude-desktop-extensions-zero-click-rce-flaw/ ** Watch this episode on YouTube ** https://youtu.be/QBhYDtbPkeE ** Become a Shared Security Supporter ** Get exclusive access to ad-free episodes, bonus episodes, listen to new episodes before they are released, receive a monthly shout-out on the show, and get a discount code for 15% off merch at the Shared Security store.
