Interview on China in Focus with Rex Lee, cybersecurity advisor and expert

Chinese Developer ByteDance, the developers of TikTok, have been in the news lately regarding bans issued by government agencies for government employees.

Businesses, medical institutions, organizations, plus local and state governments should also consider banning intrusive apps and social media platforms in general, especially those developed in adversarial countries such as China and Russia.However, it is not that easy to implement a ban without knowing the facts. 

In this investigative report/interview, Rex M. Lee, security advisor/tech journalists, highlights security and privacy threats associated with TikTok, plus other intrusive apps/social media platforms.

See why all social media platforms, including those from China and Russia, are a massive privacy and cybersecurity threat to your personal and business information due to the fact that all developers concerned are in the "information trafficking business" centered on collecting highly confidential end user personal, government, and business information.

This expert panel discussion highlights the fact that unrestricted and tech hybrid warfare targets everyone, including teens, children, and government/business end users of intrusive apps and social media platforms that are nothing more than legal malware.

There was a time when the internet meant freedom, opportunity, innovation, and provided information on any topic at your fingertips, that time was in the 90s before the internet was centralized by monopolies we refer to as “Big Tech”. 

Now in the era of “Surveillance Capitalism”, how can Web3 be the answer to decoupling from today's internet?

China hacked six states and Russia hacked major airports in the United States in recent cyberattacks.

Nation-state cyberattacks are getting more sophisticated according to cybersecurity expert, Rex M. Lee, My Smart Privacy/CyberTalk TV.

Nation-state hacking groups such as China's Apt41, Russia's Sandworm, & N. Korea's Lazarus are doubling down on tech hybrid warfare exploiting vulnerabilities within the Android OS, Apple iOS, Microsoft Windows OS, and Intrusive Apps that support Smartphones, Tablet PCs, connected products, and PCs.

Cybersecurity expert, Rex M. Lee will explain how it works.

In my previous article, Social Engineering Security Attacks Part 1, we learned that a single security breach can cost an organization between $4.5 - $10+ million dollars, and that’s just to research the breach, according to IBM’s 2022 Cost of a Data Breach Report.

Part 1 highlighted some of the most common social engineering attacks. However, there are other attack vectors associated with social engineering attacks that we will examine here.

Social engineering attacks are simply defined as attacks centered on taking advantage of human psychology through deception in order to acquire confidential and protected information. 

According to IBM’s 2022 “Cost of a Data Breach Report”, aside from legal fees the average cost of a breach is approximately $4.5 million dollars globally and nearly $10 million dollars in the United States. Furthermore, the report states that 90% of all breaches occur due to human error. Although these types of attacks are nearly 100% preventable, most companies do not have the right incident response policies in place to prevent these attacks in the first place.

Due to the proliferation of intrusive operating systems (OS) and apps that support smartphones, many businesses; major corporations; government entities, including the military; law enforcement agencies; healthcare providers; legal professionals; and journalists have adopted smartphones to use professionally within a confidential and protected work environment.

Intrusive operating systems and apps enable the developers to indiscriminately monitor, track, and data mine the end user for profits which means that the developers are collecting confidential and protected information from the end user posing privacy and cybersecurity threats to the end user.
