75 - Our private info at risk of spying?

<p>Back in December, a leak revealed almost 2 million CCP members are working in business and governments across the globe. &nbsp;</p> <p>Per IACS, "Among the companies mentioned in the list are manufacturers like Boeing and Volkswagen, pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and AstraZeneca, and banks like ANZ and HSBC. As per the documents, around 600 people at HSBC, Standard Chartered banks are CCP members. Citibank, BNP Paribas, Hewlett-Packard, Mitsubishi, Ernst &amp; Young, KPMG, Siemens, Ikea, Mercedes-Benz, Bank of America and other companies are also mentioned. One of the Indian companies, Tata’s Jaguar Land Rover has around 70 employees from the CCP." &nbsp;</p> <p>Some of those businesses have access to payroll systems detailing personal info of many many workers and clients. Have they been assured that there is no risk to their data? &nbsp;</p> <p>Note that these reports emphasized there is no evidence that spying for the Chinese government or other forms of cyber-espionage have taken place. News.com.au does say though - The CCP now has more than 92 million members worldwide. They are required to make an oath that puts the party’s interests above everything else and “be ready at all times to sacrifice my all for the party”.</p> <p>In this episode I go over the overall news, and leave you to ponder... &nbsp;</p> <p>Note some may find this content confronting. &nbsp;</p> <p>This episode contains material used for fair use commentary, criticism, and educational purposes.
