Personal Security
The recent reports of Apple Air Tag tracking gadgets being exploited for criminal purposes have seemingly fizzled. However, CVM Live cyber expert and CEO of 876 Technology Solutions, Trevor Forrest says there are deeper issues to consider in the age of technology. He notes the need for personal safety and awareness.
Beyond the initial excitement of a tracking device that was allegedly being used by criminals to track unsuspecting women. As we continue to investigate this nefarious practice, one expert is urging Jamaicans to exercise caution in how they use technology. The tech expert, Trevor Forrest shares a possible strategy for how I-Phone and android users can detect unwanted trackers on or near them. He’s urging users to download the tracker detect app on their smart phones.
He however maintains the device was never intended for criminal use and so the tech company built a safety mechanism into it that puts culprits at risk of being caught. Forrest insists while the topic has seemingly died about the gadget, Jamaicans are generally not very alert to the daily risks they face in the name of convenience. He urges people to check their online activity stored on search engines such as Google using myactivity.google.com.
