Deep Fake Youtube Ads targeting patients continue to be a problem,
Here is the warning that Tom Hanks issued about this problem: https://www.instagram.com/p/C_V_vHWvPr4/These kind of hoax endorsements have been a problem sin... Deep Fake Youtube Ads targeting patients continue to be a problem,

Youtube is still allowing Deepfake Tom Hanks Diabetes ads. Tom Hanks himself called them out on this in the middle of 2024. This is dangerous stuff and apparently it is going to get worse before it gets better.

A new kind of malware to understand: OCR malware which scans the photos on your phone to find crypto keys https://buff.ly/3WMB1Dq

Mark my words this will be extended to using your photos to extract and blackmail healthcare data.

Responsible Use of Health Data
YouTube video by fred trotter Responsible Use of Health Data

Once patient data is de-identified, there are few constraints on how the data can be used. The Joint Commission is looking to fill that regulatory gap by offering a new certification for orgs. Listen to our interview with Kathryn Spates for more. youtu.be/YVRuAWkYbKA
