Tech Talk: Your Guide to More Secure Online Shopping

/ Brian Wesolowski

2016-04-20 CDT Tech Talk LONG logo

CDT’s Tech Talk is a podcast where we dish on tech and Internet policy, while also explaining what these policies mean to our daily lives. You can find Tech Talk on SoundCloud,  iTunes, and Google Play, as well as Stitcher and TuneIn.

‘Tis the season for online shopping, but of course with that could come online fraud, online privacy violations, or online ads tipping-off what you bought your spouse. 

Thankfully, Call for Action has a guide for all online shoppers about what we should be doing to keep our data safe and secure this holiday season. Their Executive Director Ed Bartholme joined us to talk through their tips.

Be sure to check out Call for Action’s great online resource, which includes practical advice on passwords, cookies, private browsing, and more.
