Scott and Tom explain why privacy isn’t dead, why everyone should care about their privacy, and how you should respond to someone that says “I don’t care about privacy, I have nothing to hide!”. Plus, details on a new attack using fake shopping apps and how a new malware toolkit called “Borat RAT” is no laughing matter.
