Today on 2 Dropped Tables, Episode 002, we talk about PI breaches within corporate and government environments.  Are companies doing enough to protect your information? And what can you do?

Also, Biometrics – Fingerprints and Iris Scans. With more and more devices using this popular method of authentication what are the security risks involved? And how can you keep your sensitive data safe?

Finally, Fake News.  How can we determine what’s real, and what’s not? Are world governments using social media to spread their agendas?  Are they taking advantage of social circles to enhance believability of these articles?

Show Notes:
