MacVoices #24194: Live! - Android Phone Ban by Microsoft, Stolen Passwords, Free Affinity Apps A number of tech stories are on the slate for this MacVoices Live! panel. We start off looking at Microsoft’s ban on Android phones in China and cybersecurity implications. Next, Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, James Baraniak, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, Mark Fuccio, Eric Bolden, Ben Roethig, Jeff Gamet, and Web Bixby analyze the removal of VPN apps from the Russian App Store and discuss Apple’s adherence to local regulations. The conversation delves into challenges of VPN services in Russia, Android phone security concerns, and other data privacy issues. A collection of hacked passwords, Authy’s phone number breach, and Ticketmaster’s barcode security flaws round out the bad news, while the availability of the Affinity graphics apps for free for a limited time ends the session on a positive note.
