Priviso Live Episode 42: The Wonderful Hedy Lamarr
One life: scandalise 1930s society by appearing nude in a film, escape Nazi Germany to Hollywood, become known as the most beautiful woman in the world, and then patent channel hopping, the obfuscating technology behind WiFi, Bluetooth, and other communication protocols. What a life. This was Hedy Lamarr.

Priviso Live Episode 40: The Cybercrimes Act
Now that a South African has been sentenced to jail under the Cybercrimes Act, we thought it opportune to discuss it and how it was relevant in this case. Trigger warning: we're flagrantly marketing a book on the Act, co-authored by one of our contributors.
The book can be found here: https://juta.co.za/catalogue-details/the-cybercrimes-act-ebook_28930

Priviso Live Episode 39: Pegasus
Without even requiring user interaction on a phone, Pegasus:
- Infects a target device, sometimes without any clicks (zero-click exploits via apps like iMessage or WhatsApp).
= Accesses sensitive data, including messages, emails, photos, contacts, and calendar entries.
- Activates microphones and cameras, enabling real-time surveillance.
- Tracks location, silently and continuously.
- Self-destructs if it detects it's being analysed.
The team discusses the history and use of this hacking tool, as well as a commentary on the recent court sentencing of a South African cyber extortionist to eight years behind bars.
And finally - are you ready for your AI companion?
