Hello folks,

Welcome to the Security Box, podcast 165. On this program, we’ve got plenty to keep you entertained including news and the landscape, a discussion on two morons, and Nick and I got in to a discussion of credit cards, debit cards, the various payment systems, alerts and more.

Now, here are the show notes with links to things if you wish to have them.

Welcome to the security box, podcast 165. We’ve definitely got at least one stupid moron award, that could be taken in two different ways. Next moron, Twitter, in an interesting move on charging non-paying users for access to twitter $1 a year according to their own twitter notification I saw. The topic this week is going to be on Credit cards, debit cards, online VS offline shopping and what we can do.

The Stupid Fuck awards

This blog post was written after listening to a program on the Cyber Crime network. It talked about TikTok being sued by Utah because they want children on the app. But we think its more than that. Utah may also get this award as a double whammy because “this is what social media is,” says TSB staff and Throwback staff. You be the judge!

Next, Twitter Support says that they’ll be testing a payment method for those non-verified accounts to pay $1 a year to get access to the service. I forget what country it is, but you can look it up on twitter support’s account. If successful, they will bring it elsewhere, and they also could get the stupid fuck award. Good job, guys.

Credit cards, debit cards and more

The question is, How should we be using credit cards and debit cards online? Let’s discuss this and take it much further. Let’s discuss what we can do to use this offline as well.
