  • Specifically MVNOs would be stupid to do this since they are leasing from primary network operators (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) and have to play be the rules of the contract with those companies.

    Plus in OPs case Visible is owned by Verizon and Xfinity runs on Verizons network. It’s not Xfinity’s interest to piss off Verizon who could kick them off their network. That would result in less negotiating power with other networks and result in higher costs for them.



  • I hate to say it but company data is most definitely on personal computers.

    This is why stuff like adaptive MFA and DLP are a thing. What most people don’t know is if DLP is properly implemented the IT team/department have records of who, when, where, and what device were used to not just access/download data/files.

    The problem is a lot of companies don’t properly implement DLP because it’s not a turn key solution. You need to properly classify your data first and that requires essentially a company wide audit with buy-in from all levels of management. After the classifications you can then implement restrictions and compensating controls.

    Back in the day you could just block USB/network transfer, but if you have data accessible outside of a corporate network you then need to implement conditional access/adaptive MFA where only registered devices are permitted to access certain systems.








  • Google is removing the VPN and free shipping (which was only available on some photo orders) to make way for more “in demand features”?

    I could understand if this was coming from a smaller company with more limited resources and staff, but that’s not Google by any means.

    They really don’t care about the poor reputation the general public has of them regarding shutting down services on a whim.

    What’s worse though is they don’t seem to realize that, with the exception of Android and maybe Google Docs, their services/products are easily replaced by competitor offerings.

    In my opinion it’s a good thing if Google gets knocked of their high horse and allow competition to flourish in their place.







  • Unfortunately its not a third party module but manufacturer built-in features.

    Modern cars are internet-enabled, allowing access to services like navigation, roadside assistance and car apps that drivers can connect to their vehicles to locate them or unlock them remotely. In recent years, automakers, including G.M., Honda, Kia and Hyundai, have started offering optional features in their connected-car apps that rate people’s driving. Some drivers may not realize that, if they turn on these features, the car companies then give information about how they drive to data brokers like LexisNexis.
