Welcome back to Cyber Made Human, the podcast that makes complex cyber topics accessible to all. I'm your host, Alice Violet, and this is part two of our eye-opening discussion with Nakshanthra Suresh.

In part one, we explored online harassment and stranger-based stalking through the misuse of social apps like Strava. If you haven’t checked that out, be sure to listen before diving into part two.

Today, we tackle an equally troubling issue: domestic spying. We uncover how cat cams, baby cams, and cloud technologies are being misused to invade personal privacy within relationships. Plus, we take a powerful question from a listener seeking guidance on safely regaining their privacy while navigating a controlling relationship.

Tune in for practical advice, insights, and steps to empower yourself or a loved one facing digital surveillance at home. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more human-centric discussions about cybersecurity.

Alice Violet is joined by Nakshathra Suresh, a cyber safety researcher and co-founder of Eiris, to dive deep into the intricate world of digital footprints.

Together, they explore the hidden dangers of what we share online —from fitness apps that can expose your location to the unsettling rise of AI-powered chatbots influencing our mental health and social interactions.

Nakshathra shares her expertise on the intersection of online and offline safety, the risks of over-relying on technology, and how to protect yourself in an increasingly connected world.
