"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated at noon Dec. 13\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco has emerged as a microcosm of how tech and cryptocurrency leaders are expanding their growing political influence from local to national elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2024 election saw the city’s most expensive political action committee (PAC), created and funded by billionaire investors, successfully defeat incumbent Supervisor Dean Preston. But other campaigns with big tech money behind them, like efforts to elect a more right-leaning mayor or to unseat progressive Supervisor Connie Chan, fell flat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mixed outcomes show the limits of campaign spending in local politics, but political analysts and campaign finance experts say that won’t stop billionaires from trying in San Francisco and, increasingly, in other cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They realize that they have skin in the game even at the local level, and it behooves them to try and have candidates on these city councils or county board of supervisors that are friendly to their policy views,” said Sean McMorris, who leads the transparency, ethics and accountability program at California Common Cause. “You will see it, I believe, in bigger cities where there are more opportunities for special interests to increase their bottom lines.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley power players have poured money into local elections for decades.

If Brinkema finds Google has engaged in illegal, monopolistic conduct, she will then hold further hearings to explore what remedies should be imposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department, along with a coalition of states, has already said it believes Google should be forced to sell off parts of its ad tech business, which generates tens of billions of dollars annually for the Mountain View, California-based company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After roughly a month of trial testimony earlier this year, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/google-antitrust-ad-tech-virginia-opening-7a19f525287f782609a5316b1fdb08f0\">the arguments in the case remain\u003c/a> the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During three hours of arguments Monday, Brinkema, who sometimes tips her hand during legal arguments, did little to indicate how she might rule. She did, though, question the applicability of a key antitrust case Google cites in its defense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department contends Google built and maintained a monopoly in “open-web display advertising,” essentially the rectangular ads that appear on the top and right-hand side of the page when one browses websites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google dominates all facets of the market.

They then put it to work, scanning 5.2 million Santa Clara County deed records from 1902 through 1980.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took about a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What our project really shows is there’s a very different and compelling path forward to achieving these kinds of tasks that don’t suffer the kinds of cost overruns that have historically really plagued government technology contracting,” said Daniel Ho, a professor and the director of the RegLab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County, for example, \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-02-06/l-a-county-will-remove-racist-restrictive-covenant-language-from-millions-of-documents\">outsourced the work\u003c/a> to a contractor for about $8 million in a process expected to take about seven years to finish, Ho said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiaramonte said the RegLab model helped Santa Clara County accelerate the process of flagging and mapping about 7,500 restrictive covenants. From there, the covenants are reviewed and sent to the county’s lawyers for final approval before a new, modified version of the deed is recorded. About 4,500 have been completed, and the original deeds remain unchanged for historical reference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just amazing. I’m very thankful that this opportunity presented itself, and we’re able to work with them, Chiaramonte said. “And it appears that this language model tool that they have is extremely effective and has produced meaningful changes to how we could approach things in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county employees who started the work will shift their focus to manually culling through the remaining records from 1850 to 1901 — most of which were handwritten — and digitizing newer records from after 1981.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://reglab.github.io/racialcovenants/static/maps/dotmap_embedded.html\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Map by \u003ca href=\"https://reglab.github.io/racialcovenants/\">Stanford University’s RegLab\u003c/a>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faiz Surani, one of the co-authors of the \u003ca href=\"https://reglab.github.io/racialcovenants/\">research paper on the project\u003c/a>, noted that the curation of examples and the training of the open-source model was the bulk of the front-end work, and it needed to be precise. The team trained the model to recognize not just simple keywords but also to identify a covenant even when a document scan is degraded, common strings of words and where in the document covenants are often located.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you ask ChatGPT to detect racial covenants, it’ll do a decent job out of the box,” Surani said. “The challenge is when you are going over 5 million, 10 million, 20 million records, you need to be virtually perfect, or else you’re going to be missing something or you’re going to be buried under a pile of false positives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surani and Ho said the model has so far shown itself to be nearly 100% accurate in finding covenants in the records it searched. In all, the AI-based technology was able to save about 86,000 person-hours for the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The racist covenants and restrictions often included racial epithets. The covenants were less often seen in the very early 20th century because it was still legal to zone by race. After the nation outlawed that practice as unconstitutional in 1917, deed restrictions became more commonplace as a way to use private transactions to maintain segregation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The language in these covenants became more targeted and explicit. Deed records reveal widespread exclusion of specific ethnic groups, including African Americans, Chinese, Japanese, and other non-Caucasian communities. Terms such as ‘Negro,’ ‘Mongolian,’ and ‘colored’ were commonly employed to delineate the racial boundaries of acceptable property owners and tenants,” the RegLab’s research paper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12010146\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1953px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12010146\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1953\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED.png 1953w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-800x251.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-1020x320.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-160x50.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-1536x481.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-1920x602.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1953px) 100vw, 1953px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An example of racist covenant clauses found in thousands of Santa Clara County deed records that were flagged by an AI-powered tool from Stanford University’s RegLab. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Stanford RegLab)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ho said he is optimistic the technology could be used to help governments look for other violations of California’s fair housing laws, including protections based on veteran status, family status, income and religion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surani said that as someone who identifies as Asian American, he was struck by the bluntness and banality of how the covenants were included in contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be one provision which says, you know, you have to install a sewage tank. The next provision, only Caucasians may live here. The next provision, you can’t construct an outhouse here,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surani said another “gut punch” was how the research helped crystallize the widespread nature of the covenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We find entire towns — not just neighborhoods — towns that were racially restricted from their founding,” Surani said, such as Redwood Estates, an unincorporated town along Highway 17 in the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were heavy concentrations around Stanford and even a city-owned cemetery in San José with dozens of covenants allowing only white people to be interred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, Ho said the research showed that in 1950, about a decade after the peak use of covenants, about one in every four housing units in the county was under some sort of racially restrictive covenant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='santa-clara']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He estimates that about 10 developers were responsible for roughly a third of all the covenants in the county, suggesting that a small group had a major influence on how Santa Clara County was plotted and built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some successful developers, like Joseph Eichler, chose not to include such covenants in their home tracts, “contrary to some historical scholarship, which notes that at that time, you would have lost business and would have gone out of business by not including that,” Ho said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walter Wilson, a co-founder of the Minority Business Consortium and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11988184/african-american-cultural-center-planned-for-south-bay-gets-federal-grant\">an advocate for African Americans and Black people in the South Bay\u003c/a>, said these long-unenforceable covenants were one of the biggest ways long-term wealth was concentrated in the hands of a few and laid the foundation for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11984246/less-than-1-of-santa-clara-county-contracts-go-to-black-and-latino-businesses-study-shows\">ongoing systemic discrimination\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That still continues to this day by design,” Wilson said. “Among those people in those communities and the folks who control the politics, there’s almost an unwritten word, where they won’t even say it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But you don’t see very many Black people in Cupertino. You don’t see very many Latinos in Cupertino.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added: “California racism is the most dangerous in the world because it is just under the surface.

I’m very thankful that this opportunity presented itself, and we’re able to work with them, Chiaramonte said. “And it appears that this language model tool that they have is extremely effective and has produced meaningful changes to how we could approach things in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county employees who started the work will shift their focus to manually culling through the remaining records from 1850 to 1901 — most of which were handwritten — and digitizing newer records from after 1981.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://reglab.github.io/racialcovenants/static/maps/dotmap_embedded.html\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Map by \u003ca href=\"https://reglab.github.io/racialcovenants/\">Stanford University’s RegLab\u003c/a>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faiz Surani, one of the co-authors of the \u003ca href=\"https://reglab.github.io/racialcovenants/\">research paper on the project\u003c/a>, noted that the curation of examples and the training of the open-source model was the bulk of the front-end work, and it needed to be precise. The team trained the model to recognize not just simple keywords but also to identify a covenant even when a document scan is degraded, common strings of words and where in the document covenants are often located.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you ask ChatGPT to detect racial covenants, it’ll do a decent job out of the box,” Surani said. “The challenge is when you are going over 5 million, 10 million, 20 million records, you need to be virtually perfect, or else you’re going to be missing something or you’re going to be buried under a pile of false positives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surani and Ho said the model has so far shown itself to be nearly 100% accurate in finding covenants in the records it searched. In all, the AI-based technology was able to save about 86,000 person-hours for the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The racist covenants and restrictions often included racial epithets. The covenants were less often seen in the very early 20th century because it was still legal to zone by race. After the nation outlawed that practice as unconstitutional in 1917, deed restrictions became more commonplace as a way to use private transactions to maintain segregation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The language in these covenants became more targeted and explicit. Deed records reveal widespread exclusion of specific ethnic groups, including African Americans, Chinese, Japanese, and other non-Caucasian communities. Terms such as ‘Negro,’ ‘Mongolian,’ and ‘colored’ were commonly employed to delineate the racial boundaries of acceptable property owners and tenants,” the RegLab’s research paper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12010146\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1953px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12010146\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1953\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED.png 1953w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-800x251.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-1020x320.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-160x50.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-1536x481.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/241018-Covenant-Example-2-KQED-1920x602.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1953px) 100vw, 1953px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An example of racist covenant clauses found in thousands of Santa Clara County deed records that were flagged by an AI-powered tool from Stanford University’s RegLab. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Stanford RegLab)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ho said he is optimistic the technology could be used to help governments look for other violations of California’s fair housing laws, including protections based on veteran status, family status, income and religion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surani said that as someone who identifies as Asian American, he was struck by the bluntness and banality of how the covenants were included in contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be one provision which says, you know, you have to install a sewage tank.

You may also need to do your banking in person for a while until you are sure all your devices are safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contact your financial institutions to let them know what has occurred and ask them what additional steps you should take. At some, you can register a verbal password, which you will have to give to make any transaction.

This six-digit number will help verify your identity when you file, and it will also prevent identity thieves from filing tax returns in your name. Anyone with a Social Security Number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification number can get a PIN.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another safeguard is to file your taxes as early as possible, beating any potential fraudsters to the punch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you think your device has been compromised, see this \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/when-to-file-an-identity-theft-affidavit\">IRS page\u003c/a> on the signs to look for that may indicate tax-related identity theft and what you should do.

Passkeys\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Identity Theft Resource Center recommends replacing your online passwords by setting up passkeys if they are offered, on your accounts. Passkeys are considered to be more secure than passwords because they generate a random code linked to the biometric identification method (fingerprint or face verification, for instance) you will use each time you log in to your device. The codes are invisible and inaccessible to any user, and because they are not stored by the institutions where you have accounts, they cannot be stolen in a data breach. This is not the case with passwords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ITRC says if you use passkeys, it’s critical that you activate the locking feature on your phone so that you have to verify yourself to regain access. That’s because if the device is stolen or your Apple or Google IDs are compromised, the thief may be able to gain easier access to your online accounts than if you still used passwords. You should also use and familiarize yourself with the Find My Device feature for \u003ca href=\"https://www.icloud.com/find\">iPhones\u003c/a> or Androids, so you can shut the phone off remotely if it is compromised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7. Identity Theft Protection\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may want to consider signing up with an Identity Theft Protection company, which monitors activity on your credit cards and financial accounts and can search for breaches of your personal information on the dark web.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

If you think that may be the case for your iCloud account, go to an Apple Store and have them walk you through getting a new ID.

Credit reports\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contact all three credit reporting agencies to place a fraud alert and security freeze on your credit reports. You should also obtain credit reports and review them for any activity you don’t recognize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.equifax.com/personal/credit-report-services/credit-freeze/\">Equifax\u003c/a>: 1-800-525-6285\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.experian.com/freeze/center.html\">Experian\u003c/a>: 1-888-397-3742\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.experian.com/freeze/center.html\">Transunion\u003c/a>: 1-800-680-7289\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Financial Institutions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you know your devices are safe, update all your passwords and add \u003ca href=\"https://www.cisa.gov/MFA\">multifactor authentication\u003c/a> — a combination of two or more identity verification methods — to your accounts. You may also need to do your banking in person for a while until you are sure all your devices are safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contact your financial institutions to let them know what has occurred and ask them what additional steps you should take. At some, you can register a verbal password, which you will have to give to make any transaction. (Just don’t lose it.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider changing your answers to the security questions that banks and other organizations use — just make them up. Again, make sure you record those fake answers for future use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Driver’s license\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can submit a California DMV \u003ca href=\"https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/uploads/2020/07/inv35.pdf\">Fraud Review of Driver License/Identification form\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"mailto:dlfraud@dmv.ca.gov\">dlfraud@dmv.ca.gov\u003c/a> to request the agency look for any potential fraud using your information. On the form, you can explain how your driver’s license may have been compromised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Social Security account\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When your device is safe, create a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/\">my Social Security\u003c/a> account online, if you don’t already have one, so you can monitor the wages and income being reported and see if anything looks amiss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Taxes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/get-an-identity-protection-pin\">Obtain an identity protection (IP) PIN\u003c/a> from the IRS. This six-digit number will help verify your identity when you file, and it will also prevent identity thieves from filing tax returns in your name. Anyone with a Social Security Number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification number can get a PIN.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another safeguard is to file your taxes as early as possible, beating any potential fraudsters to the punch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you think your device has been compromised, see this \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/when-to-file-an-identity-theft-affidavit\">IRS page\u003c/a> on the signs to look for that may indicate tax-related identity theft and what you should do. For California state taxes, see this \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/help/scams/identity-theft.html\">Franchise Tax Board Identity Theft page\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Passkeys\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Identity Theft Resource Center recommends replacing your online passwords by setting up passkeys if they are offered, on your accounts. Passkeys are considered to be more secure than passwords because they generate a random code linked to the biometric identification method (fingerprint or face verification, for instance) you will use each time you log in to your device. The codes are invisible and inaccessible to any user, and because they are not stored by the institutions where you have accounts, they cannot be stolen in a data breach. This is not the case with passwords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ITRC says if you use passkeys, it’s critical that you activate the locking feature on your phone so that you have to verify yourself to regain access. That’s because if the device is stolen or your Apple or Google IDs are compromised, the thief may be able to gain easier access to your online accounts than if you still used passwords. You should also use and familiarize yourself with the Find My Device feature for \u003ca href=\"https://www.icloud.com/find\">iPhones\u003c/a> or Androids, so you can shut the phone off remotely if it is compromised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7. Identity Theft Protection\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may want to consider signing up with an Identity Theft Protection company, which monitors activity on your credit cards and financial accounts and can search for breaches of your personal information on the dark web.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In documents explaining why the investigation was ended, NHTSA said it ultimately found 467 crashes involving Autopilot, resulting in 54 injuries and 14 deaths. Autopilot is a fancy version of cruise control, while “Full Self-Driving” has been billed by Musk as capable of driving without human intervention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation that was opened Thursday enters new territory for NHTSA, which previously had viewed Tesla’s systems as assisting drivers rather than driving themselves. With the new probe, the agency focuses on the capabilities of “Full Self-Driving” rather than simply ensuring drivers are paying attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Brooks, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, said the previous investigation of Autopilot didn’t look at why the Teslas weren’t seeing and stopping for emergency vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before, they were kind of putting the onus on the driver rather than the car,” he said. “Here they’re saying these systems are not capable of appropriately detecting safety hazards whether the drivers are paying attention or not.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

This nonprofit provides free, personalized plans to victims of a data breach. They’re used to hearing from Californians like me — among the states, California was No. 1 last year in terms of overall complaints and No. 6 per capita.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the things we have learned over 25 years is that if you have that first indicator of compromise, there are probably more,” said James Lee, the organization’s chief operating officer. “And there are things you need to do to protect yourself.” In May, Lee \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?535489-1/data-security-executives-testify-safeguarding-consumer-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">testified\u003c/a> on the topic before a Senate Commerce subcommittee, where he said, “We may, in fact, be at the very beginning of what is a golden age of identity crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His organization now routinely sees victims with financial losses in the six- and seven-figures due largely to crypto and \u003ca href=\"https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/scams-and-safety/common-frauds-and-scams/romance-scams\">romance scams\u003c/a>, in which fraudsters enter into an online relationship with someone for the sole purpose of inveigling money out of them. Probably not coincidentally, the rate of victims who have said in an annual survey conducted by the center that they have considered suicide has increased almost eight-fold, from a steady 2%–3% pre-2020 to 16% in 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I recently spoke to Lee about the specific situation of somebody gaining unauthorized access to your phone, which is not something I thought could happen. Before it did, that is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>This interview has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Jon Brooks: One thing I realized during this episode: Literally everything is available through people’s phones now. Banking, health info, personal emails, contact info, sending money and buying things. Criminals having unfettered access to all that was truly frightening.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Lee: Yes, we have to be far more protective of our phones than we are now. The level of paranoia has got to go up\u003cb>. \u003c/b>This device is increasingly your lifeline. And we’re getting to the point where you’ve got all your credit cards and all your account access on it. Even your driver’s license and your passport, because we’re rapidly moving to that digital ID realm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What are the things you should do to protect your phone?\u003c/b>\u003ci> \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first thing you do when you get the phone is set up the biometric security and the lock screen. When you’re not using the phone, it will lock, and you have to use your finger or your face to unlock it. You can also unlock it using a PIN.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second thing is to configure the device so you can turn it off at any time with the Find My applications for either \u003ca href=\"https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my/\">Apple\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/android/find/\">Android\u003c/a>. Those tools allow you to shut down the phone if you do lose it, which would help keep the bad guys from taking advantage of the fact that they now have your device.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>And what are the immediate things you should do if your phone is lost, stolen or otherwise compromised?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you know for a fact that your phone or other device has been taken by a criminal or even if you just leave it in an Uber or something, you can “brick” it — delete everything through the Find My function. Or if you think you have a chance of recovering the phone, you can turn it off through that and report it to your carrier so they can flag it on the network. If someone then attempts to add it to a new or existing account, it will trigger an alert and the phone will be blocked from the network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, you change your passwords. (Preemptively, you might want to note what passwords will be the most important to change if you do lose the phone.) ID thieves are all about scale and speed, and if you throw up a roadblock, they’re going to leave you alone; they’ll just move on rather than try to dig in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Is subscribing to an antivirus program useful, either for desktops or phones?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11973657\" hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/IMG_0592-1020x765.jpg']On desktops, if it helps you feel safe, yes. But most people don’t need separate antivirus protection because it’s built into their OS, browser and cloud-based software from mainstream software providers. One thing to keep in mind: It’s risky to download third-party software from a website unless it’s from one of the mainstream app markets or from a well-known and secure software company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phones and tablets are architecturally different from laptops and desktops and don’t need antivirus software at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The key to maintaining safe and secure software today is making sure you’ve configured the auto-update feature on all of your devices. Auto-updates are the reason you no longer need separate antivirus software. Though, you will need to double-check sometimes on certain apps and programs to make sure an update was installed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Eventually, I got free of the hackers by going to the Apple Store and changing my Apple ID, the one I use to get into iCloud and download apps, etc.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, in the Apple ecosystem, your Apple ID, which is also your iCloud credential, is the keys to the kingdom because it connects all your devices. So if that Apple ID was somewhere on your computer or device in a document online that was compromised, then somebody in this world of identity crime is immediately going to see its value because, with your Apple ID, they can get to anything on any of your devices — they can add, delete, change your configurations, privacy settings, passwords. The fix for all this is exactly what you did: You go to the Apple Store and change your Apple ID. If you lose control of your Google login, that can lead to similar bad outcomes — it’s actually more common to see Google credentials than Apple in ID marketplaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>As discussed, I foolishly kept all my passwords on one page on Google Docs, which I thought would be safe. But if not in the cloud, where are you supposed to keep your passwords and login info?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a great question, which we get all the time. We do ourselves a disservice in cybersecurity because we forget to update people. So you see a lot of advice that was great 10–15 years ago but not so much today. We used to tell people to never write down your passwords. You know what? It’s perfectly acceptable to write down your passwords. Just keep them somewhere where other people won’t see them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The average person now has somewhere around a hundred different account passwords and logins to keep track of. That’s impossible for all but the rarest of individuals to remember. So, all of the browsers today have a password manager and password creation tool built in, where they have the ability to create a unique password and keep track of it. For most people, that’s fine. The browsers are some of the most secure software that exists. For people who need a little more protection or want a little more peace of mind, they can download a password manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These tools will also prevent you from having the same password on every account. People who try to avoid the issue of remembering all those passwords get in trouble with that: The bad guys know if they get one of our passwords, the chances are it’ll work on our other accounts. It’s very important that people pay attention to the issue of not reusing passwords. A lot of massive company data breaches are the result of somebody’s password being compromised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Some victims of people infiltrating their phone or computer have reported there were no attempts to steal from their financial accounts, which was also the case in my incident. \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The perpetrators are not really interested in your money; they’re interested in attacks they can automate or scale. Attacking individual by individual and taking their money out of their bank account or running up their credit cards would also increase the likelihood of getting caught. What they do depends on their ultimate motivation. If it’s purely financial, most likely, they’re harvesting your personal information to turn around and impersonate you by trying to open up a bank account where maybe they’re going to hide the money they’re stealing from other places. Or they’ll impersonate you to try to get a government benefit like unemployment or to get a credit card. These are things they can convert to cash quickly then move on to the next target. You won’t find out about it for months or years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now there’s also the element of nation-states collecting information purely for intelligence purposes and to test-drive the tools they have. In some of the largest data breaches the last few years, the information has never appeared in an identity marketplace. We know those were nation-state attacks, and we know they were done for the purpose of gathering information about where people travel and if they could be co-opted or used to gather information for espionage or intelligence. There are also countries who are very skilled at using these techniques to gather information about businesses for the purpose of gaining competitive advantages. So, the kinds of attack you and others have experienced could very well be executed by nation-states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Recently, I was at two different phone stores where I heard customers who failed these intricate tests about their personal information, which their cell providers were requiring in order for them to regain access to their accounts. These people just couldn’t remember what sounded like fairly obscure details about their past financial transactions or long-ago residences. Has digital security gotten too complex for the average consumer?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actually, yes. That’s a general trend that’s frustrating and, in many cases, harmful. But it’s a direct result of the sheer volume of data breaches we’ve had over the years. The way we authenticate people by and large is by providing information, but that information has been compromised year after year after year. So it makes it very easy for the bad guys to impersonate someone and makes it difficult for the person who is the real individual to say, “Hey, that’s not me. I’m me.” This is probably most evident in wireless telecom because that tends to be one of the first places identity criminals go to take advantage of a stolen personality or to create what we call a synthetic identity. That’s where they might steal my Social Security number, your name and a third person’s address. Then, because of the way a business may verify you, it will allow that account to be opened, and the bad guys will actually pay the bill because the longer that identity is used without a problem, the more legitimate it becomes. Then they open other accounts, and eventually, they get to the point where that synthetic identity that’s taking advantage of three different people’s information becomes a real identity in the system we set up for our economy to function.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What do people frequently get wrong about protecting their cybersecurity?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11873288\" hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/iStock-1220974008-1020x680.jpg']Probably the most common misconception is “It will never happen to me.” Or “I don’t have anything a criminal would want.” The reality is everyone is at risk. Even if you are not the direct target, your information can be used any number of ways to commit an identity crime, from applying for government benefits to infiltrating a company or having their driver’s license information stolen in a data breach and then converted to a physical license with the criminal’s photo and description but the address and license number of the rightful owner. Driver’s licenses have become very valuable since the pandemic. In the last two years, because that credential is so good, entire state driver’s license databases have been stolen. We tend to view taking care of our cyber security as the responsibility of somebody else. The company will take care of me; the phone manufacturer will take care of me; the phone carrier will take care of me. My bank will take care of me. That’s all true to an extent. But we also have personal responsibility to make sure we’ve configured that phone correctly, that we keep our software updated. You know, we have to get much more comfortable in being active participants in our own protection than we have been historically. And that’s a culture change, which is tough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Can you talk about the growing importance of what the industry calls “passkeys” — not passwords — when people log in to their accounts? \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re entering this transition from passwords to \u003ca href=\"https://www.zdnet.com/article/passkeys-what-are-they-and-how-to-get-started/\">passkeys\u003c/a>, which is a device-based protection. Passkeys replace passwords with a token on your actual device. You’ll never see it, and you’ll have no access to it. How it works is once you open your phone or tablet or laptop, you authenticate yourself with a biometric like your face or your finger or maybe it’s a PIN code. Then, you can access accounts and services without further authentication.\u003cb> \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that means we have to be far more protective of our phones than we are today. If someone accesses your phone and all you have are passkeys, they can access everything you have if the phone isn’t locked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So why, then, is the industry moving toward passkeys?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because with passkey, you cannot self-compromise, getting tricked into telling somebody your password as part of a phishing or social engineering attack. And because on the receiving end, there is no database sitting there with credentials. So somebody cannot break into the company, access the database and steal your login and password. Logging in becomes a much more secure transaction, and that will eliminate a lot of identity crime and data breaches. Google has already moved to this on all of its services. Uber uses it, too. But it’s going to take years to be fully implemented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So, if I understand you right, using passkeys is a safer way to access your apps because there is no password that can be stolen. But it’s a double-edged sword because if somebody gains access to your phone, they could have the same easy no-password access to your data that you have.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Correct. Passwords and credentials are one of the first things the bad guys want because they have more value than even a Social Security number. In an identity marketplace, buyers get your Social Security number free, but your Gmail account may cost $60.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while very effective in keeping remote thieves away from your data and accounts, passkeys make it very important that you use the security tools built into your phone or other device to keep criminals out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Probably not coincidentally, the rate of victims who have said in an annual survey conducted by the center that they have considered suicide has increased almost eight-fold, from a steady 2%–3% pre-2020 to 16% in 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Banking, health info, personal emails, contact info, sending money and buying things. Criminals having unfettered access to all that was truly frightening.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Lee: Yes, we have to be far more protective of our phones than we are now. The level of paranoia has got to go up\u003cb>. \u003c/b>This device is increasingly your lifeline. And we’re getting to the point where you’ve got all your credit cards and all your account access on it. Even your driver’s license and your passport, because we’re rapidly moving to that digital ID realm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What are the things you should do to protect your phone?\u003c/b>\u003ci> \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first thing you do when you get the phone is set up the biometric security and the lock screen. When you’re not using the phone, it will lock, and you have to use your finger or your face to unlock it. You can also unlock it using a PIN.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second thing is to configure the device so you can turn it off at any time with the Find My applications for either \u003ca href=\"https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my/\">Apple\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/android/find/\">Android\u003c/a>. Those tools allow you to shut down the phone if you do lose it, which would help keep the bad guys from taking advantage of the fact that they now have your device.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>And what are the immediate things you should do if your phone is lost, stolen or otherwise compromised?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you know for a fact that your phone or other device has been taken by a criminal or even if you just leave it in an Uber or something, you can “brick” it — delete everything through the Find My function. Or if you think you have a chance of recovering the phone, you can turn it off through that and report it to your carrier so they can flag it on the network. If someone then attempts to add it to a new or existing account, it will trigger an alert and the phone will be blocked from the network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, you change your passwords. (Preemptively, you might want to note what passwords will be the most important to change if you do lose the phone.) ID thieves are all about scale and speed, and if you throw up a roadblock, they’re going to leave you alone; they’ll just move on rather than try to dig in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Is subscribing to an antivirus program useful, either for desktops or phones?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But most people don’t need separate antivirus protection because it’s built into their OS, browser and cloud-based software from mainstream software providers. One thing to keep in mind: It’s risky to download third-party software from a website unless it’s from one of the mainstream app markets or from a well-known and secure software company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phones and tablets are architecturally different from laptops and desktops and don’t need antivirus software at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The key to maintaining safe and secure software today is making sure you’ve configured the auto-update feature on all of your devices. Auto-updates are the reason you no longer need separate antivirus software. Though, you will need to double-check sometimes on certain apps and programs to make sure an update was installed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Eventually, I got free of the hackers by going to the Apple Store and changing my Apple ID, the one I use to get into iCloud and download apps, etc.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, in the Apple ecosystem, your Apple ID, which is also your iCloud credential, is the keys to the kingdom because it connects all your devices. So if that Apple ID was somewhere on your computer or device in a document online that was compromised, then somebody in this world of identity crime is immediately going to see its value because, with your Apple ID, they can get to anything on any of your devices — they can add, delete, change your configurations, privacy settings, passwords. The fix for all this is exactly what you did: You go to the Apple Store and change your Apple ID. If you lose control of your Google login, that can lead to similar bad outcomes — it’s actually more common to see Google credentials than Apple in ID marketplaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>As discussed, I foolishly kept all my passwords on one page on Google Docs, which I thought would be safe. But if not in the cloud, where are you supposed to keep your passwords and login info?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a great question, which we get all the time. We do ourselves a disservice in cybersecurity because we forget to update people. So you see a lot of advice that was great 10–15 years ago but not so much today. We used to tell people to never write down your passwords. You know what? It’s perfectly acceptable to write down your passwords. Just keep them somewhere where other people won’t see them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The average person now has somewhere around a hundred different account passwords and logins to keep track of. That’s impossible for all but the rarest of individuals to remember. So, all of the browsers today have a password manager and password creation tool built in, where they have the ability to create a unique password and keep track of it. For most people, that’s fine. The browsers are some of the most secure software that exists. For people who need a little more protection or want a little more peace of mind, they can download a password manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These tools will also prevent you from having the same password on every account. People who try to avoid the issue of remembering all those passwords get in trouble with that: The bad guys know if they get one of our passwords, the chances are it’ll work on our other accounts. It’s very important that people pay attention to the issue of not reusing passwords. A lot of massive company data breaches are the result of somebody’s password being compromised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Some victims of people infiltrating their phone or computer have reported there were no attempts to steal from their financial accounts, which was also the case in my incident. \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The perpetrators are not really interested in your money; they’re interested in attacks they can automate or scale. Attacking individual by individual and taking their money out of their bank account or running up their credit cards would also increase the likelihood of getting caught. What they do depends on their ultimate motivation. If it’s purely financial, most likely, they’re harvesting your personal information to turn around and impersonate you by trying to open up a bank account where maybe they’re going to hide the money they’re stealing from other places. Or they’ll impersonate you to try to get a government benefit like unemployment or to get a credit card. These are things they can convert to cash quickly then move on to the next target. You won’t find out about it for months or years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now there’s also the element of nation-states collecting information purely for intelligence purposes and to test-drive the tools they have. In some of the largest data breaches the last few years, the information has never appeared in an identity marketplace. We know those were nation-state attacks, and we know they were done for the purpose of gathering information about where people travel and if they could be co-opted or used to gather information for espionage or intelligence. There are also countries who are very skilled at using these techniques to gather information about businesses for the purpose of gaining competitive advantages. So, the kinds of attack you and others have experienced could very well be executed by nation-states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Recently, I was at two different phone stores where I heard customers who failed these intricate tests about their personal information, which their cell providers were requiring in order for them to regain access to their accounts. These people just couldn’t remember what sounded like fairly obscure details about their past financial transactions or long-ago residences. Has digital security gotten too complex for the average consumer?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actually, yes. That’s a general trend that’s frustrating and, in many cases, harmful. But it’s a direct result of the sheer volume of data breaches we’ve had over the years. The way we authenticate people by and large is by providing information, but that information has been compromised year after year after year. So it makes it very easy for the bad guys to impersonate someone and makes it difficult for the person who is the real individual to say, “Hey, that’s not me. I’m me.” This is probably most evident in wireless telecom because that tends to be one of the first places identity criminals go to take advantage of a stolen personality or to create what we call a synthetic identity. That’s where they might steal my Social Security number, your name and a third person’s address. Then, because of the way a business may verify you, it will allow that account to be opened, and the bad guys will actually pay the bill because the longer that identity is used without a problem, the more legitimate it becomes. Then they open other accounts, and eventually, they get to the point where that synthetic identity that’s taking advantage of three different people’s information becomes a real identity in the system we set up for our economy to function.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What do people frequently get wrong about protecting their cybersecurity?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>Probably the most common misconception is “It will never happen to me.” Or “I don’t have anything a criminal would want.” The reality is everyone is at risk. Even if you are not the direct target, your information can be used any number of ways to commit an identity crime, from applying for government benefits to infiltrating a company or having their driver’s license information stolen in a data breach and then converted to a physical license with the criminal’s photo and description but the address and license number of the rightful owner. Driver’s licenses have become very valuable since the pandemic. In the last two years, because that credential is so good, entire state driver’s license databases have been stolen. We tend to view taking care of our cyber security as the responsibility of somebody else. The company will take care of me; the phone manufacturer will take care of me; the phone carrier will take care of me. My bank will take care of me. That’s all true to an extent. But we also have personal responsibility to make sure we’ve configured that phone correctly, that we keep our software updated. You know, we have to get much more comfortable in being active participants in our own protection than we have been historically. And that’s a culture change, which is tough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Can you talk about the growing importance of what the industry calls “passkeys” — not passwords — when people log in to their accounts? \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re entering this transition from passwords to \u003ca href=\"https://www.zdnet.com/article/passkeys-what-are-they-and-how-to-get-started/\">passkeys\u003c/a>, which is a device-based protection. Passkeys replace passwords with a token on your actual device. You’ll never see it, and you’ll have no access to it. How it works is once you open your phone or tablet or laptop, you authenticate yourself with a biometric like your face or your finger or maybe it’s a PIN code. Then, you can access accounts and services without further authentication.\u003cb> \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So that means we have to be far more protective of our phones than we are today. If someone accesses your phone and all you have are passkeys, they can access everything you have if the phone isn’t locked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So why, then, is the industry moving toward passkeys?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because with passkey, you cannot self-compromise, getting tricked into telling somebody your password as part of a phishing or social engineering attack. And because on the receiving end, there is no database sitting there with credentials. So somebody cannot break into the company, access the database and steal your login and password. Logging in becomes a much more secure transaction, and that will eliminate a lot of identity crime and data breaches. Google has already moved to this on all of its services. Uber uses it, too. But it’s going to take years to be fully implemented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So, if I understand you right, using passkeys is a safer way to access your apps because there is no password that can be stolen. But it’s a double-edged sword because if somebody gains access to your phone, they could have the same easy no-password access to your data that you have.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Correct. Passwords and credentials are one of the first things the bad guys want because they have more value than even a Social Security number. In an identity marketplace, buyers get your Social Security number free, but your Gmail account may cost $60.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while very effective in keeping remote thieves away from your data and accounts, passkeys make it very important that you use the security tools built into your phone or other device to keep criminals out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
