24 | :33 | sl | A former contractor working in Bejing has spoken to the Guardian about a grading program to transcribe and vet audio from Skype Translations and Cortana requests. The British contractor says he reviewed thousands of potentially sensitive recordings on his personal laptop for two years while working in Beijing. The contractor said both usernames and passwords were emailed to new contractors in plaintext and shared between multiple contractors to make logins easier. Microsoft says it has ended that program and moved human grading into “secure facilities” none of which are in China. Microsoft also says the snippets are a small percentage of de-identified content and not more than 10 seconds long. | https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/jan/10/skype-audio-graded-by-workers-in-china-with-no-security-measures | |||||||||||||||||

26 | :40 | tm | Researchers at Malwarebytes say that an Android phone subsidized by the US government for low-income users comes preinstalled with software that installs adware without the user's knowledge or permission. The software is located int he settings app meaning to uninstall it you'd have to uninstall your setting app. A second pieces of software called Wireless Update installs phone updates but also other apps without permission. It appears to be a variant of adopts from a Chinese company that was found to collect user data on BLU phones. If removed the phone no longer receives system and security updates. The $35 UMX U686CL phone is provided by Virgin Mobile's Assurance Wireless program, part of the Lifeline Assistance program, a FCC plan that makes free or government-subsidized phones service available to millions of low-income families. Sprint, which owns Virgin Mobile, said it didn't believe the apps were malicious. | https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/01/us-government-funded-android-phones-come-preinstalled-with-unremovable-malware/ | |||||||||||||||||
27 | :44 | sl | According to a Pew Research Center survey conducted June 3rd-17th, 2019, one-in-five U.S. adults say they regularly wear a smart watch or fitness tracker. Among households that earn more than $75,000 a year, 31% wear one on a regular basis, compared with 12% of those with annual income below $30,000. Genderwise, 25% of women say they regularly use wearables compared to 18% men. And Hispanic and black adults are also more likely than Caucasian adults to wear a fitness tracker at 26%, 23%, and 20% respectively. What to do with that data is more of a matter of dispute. For example, whether its acceptable to share health data from wearables with heart disease researchers. 41% said yes. 35% said unacceptable and 22% weren't sure. | https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/01/09/about-one-in-five-americans-use-a-smart-watch-or-fitness-tracker/ | |||||||||||||||||

57 | Doug had some thoughts on vehicle pedestrian alerts. He writes: I was listening to your CES coverage where you talked about vehicle to pedestrian alerts and how they would work with vehicles. I work in the automotive electrical area and thought I’d give you some insights. One of the reasons this technology is starting to come out is that there seems to be agreement to move to a 5G-based vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to pedestrian communication system. For years there was a competing standard called DSRC that was a form of Wi-Fi and it caused confusion about what would be deployed. One of the arguments for going to a 5G system was that an added benefit would be easier adoption with pedestrians and cyclists as their phones would automatically be carrying the proper radios. As far as the interaction goes, while phones will undoubtedly alert users to a threat a major part of the system will be added temporo-spatial awareness by the vehicle of who is around it and if necessary early triggering of autonomous emergency braking on the vehicle in order to slow or stop it. | ||||||||||||||||||||
