I hosted Jonathan Scott, who started his hacking days in the era of mobile web development (2009.) We explore the various forms of hacking, from white hat, gray hat, and black hat to the types of exploits on mobile platforms. We discussed the means different actors use in the hacking world and how human rights should expand to cover specific digital or technological environments.
We also discuss plausible tactics that countries like China use to gain access to the mobile devices and data of non-citizens. This tweet from Jonathan may provide some additional context.
At Olympics, cybersecurity worries linger in background - The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee had told athletes that ANYTHING they do online while in China would be monitored.
We will host part 2 of this conversation, but I hope you enjoy it—press play.
You can find more about Jonathan’s work on his website, 0hak.com.
As always, I would love to hear your thoughts.
