The UK has demanded a backdoor to iCloud that could affect Apple users worldwide…and Apple can’t talk about it. DeepSeek is sending information to ByteDance-controlled servers. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Jeff Butts, Marty Jencius, Ben Roethig, Web Bixby, and Eric Bolden dig in to both of these security-related topics and why they should matter to you. The panel also covers a recommendation about what not to do with your passwords.  MacVoices is supported byTake Control Books: The Answers You Need Now, From Leading Experts. Start your library now.
