   The Last 10 Years of Privacy

   Privacy advice has changed quite a bit over the last decade. In this episode of Privacy Files, Colin from the Anonyome Labs Security and Compliance team returns to the show to discuss how privacy has evolved. As a foundation for the discussion, we review an article published ten years ago on the Art of Manliness website titled Going Undercover: How to Protect Your Privacy Online. As usual, we address a wide variety of privacy-related topics. From passwords and 2FA to public WiFi and the dangers of Big Tech, privacy in 2024 looks a lot different than it did in 2014. We also revisit a recurring theme: why have privacy in the first place? To wrap up the conversation, look at what the future holds for staying private. How much longer will passwords be a thing? Is there a future without phone numbers? Will texting replace email? In all, this is one of those episodes that helps us put the privacy topic into perspective.

   Survival and Privacy

   From disaster planning to wilderness survival to personal safety, they all share one common theme: the people who engage in these activities value privacy. In this episode of Privacy Files, Kevin Estela talks about how his training in survival and bushcraft have taught him why privacy is so important. Kevin is one of the preeminent experts on the topic of wilderness survival and bushcraft skills. He has consulted for the History Channel, written more than 100 articles and spent nearly two years as host of the Fieldcraft Survival podcast. Kevin is also author of the book 101 Sills You Need to Survive in the Woods. We talk about a variety of things related to preparedness and survival--whether in the wilderness, or back at home in the city. Kevin shares a couple of eye-popping stories that underscore why he takes privacy seriously. One story involves a stalker. The other is an important lesson about why it's critical to use social media cautiously. One of the key takeaways from this interview is that privacy is often about safety. And living privately begins with developing a survivalist mindset.

   Privcy by Design

   The recent revelation by UnitedHealth Group that the ransomware attack on its subsidiary Change Healthcare exposed the sensitive data of more than 100 million customers is once again bringing scrutiny to how companies manage personal information. In this episode of Privacy Files, we talk to seasoned privacy professional, Saima Fancy. Saima is a Senior Privacy Specialist at Ontario Health in Canada. During the interview, she explains how her approach to "privacy by design" involves working at the intersection of engineering, law and policy, and cybersecurity. Saima says that one of the challenges privacy professionals face worldwide is the fact that 80% of the world's data is unstructured. She also discusses what's involved in conducting a privacy impact assessment. To wrap up the episode, Saima weighs in on smart device technology, AI and digital footprints, and even offers some advice for people considering a career as a privacy professional. This conversation provides valuable insight on what it takes on the corporate side to protect customers' personal data.

[…] So just it's back to the just activate 2FA. Yeah, activate 2FA. I mean, that's the best. A lot of it is just more or less at the mercy of what the companies do. 2FA is something that's always in your control that you can set up. So, and that's... I mean, that's how a lot of this stuff works, right? Like, I mean, even going back from this, going back to 2014, even to now, right? You can... We can feel like we're at the mercy of these big companies or whatever we're doing, but we still have those things that we can control. We may not be able to make things perfect. We may not be able to just suddenly flip a switch and all the surveillance ends, but we can do those things to keep ourselves more secure, more private, and more protected. […]
