The IT Privacy and Security Weekly Update for the Week Ending February 24th, 2026
About this episode
EP 280. “When Your Everyday Tech Quietly Turns Against You”
“This week, a hobby project turned one man’s robot vacuum into a remote control for 7,000 homes, a new phishing service made the real login page your biggest enemy, and Texas decided your Wi‑Fi router is now a geopolitical issue.”
Set the promise:
“If you’re not technical but you live with passwords, smart gadgets, or online banking, this episode is about the invisible ways those tools can misbehave, and the one small fix you can make after each story.”
