Tech News Weekly Episode 392 Show Notes
\nThis week on Tech News Weekly, Mikah Sargent and Jennifer Pattison Tuohy talk cybersecurity vulnerabilities with over 40,000 exposed internet cameras, Wyze’s new security features following past breaches, a study on youth mental health and addictive tech use, and the launch of Trump Mobile’s new phone and cellular plan.

\n\u2022 Wyze Introduces “Verified View” Security Feature: Following previous incidents where users could see other people’s camera streams due to cloud failures, Wyze launched a new security feature that stamps user metadata onto footage for an additional layer of verification to access photos and videos.

\n\u2022 The Launch of Trump Mobile: The new “47 Plan” offers 20GB of data for $47.45\/month, along with a $499 phone claimed to be “made in America,” though tech experts question both the value proposition and manufacturing claims.<\/p>\n
