The Invisible Threat: How Everyday Communication Tools Can Fuel Illicit Activity
from Before Breakfast · host Kathlene Herberger

While these interactions seem entirely benign, they can inadvertently open up opportunities for illicit activities — especially when these devices become conduits for messages aimed at high-stakes targets, like individuals in prison.
