Adam Wandt, Assistant Professor in the Department of Public Management, was quoted in a Yahoo Tech article, titled “Why the Cops Hate the New Apple and Google Phones,” on the new digital/phone encryption and the disadvantages for law enforcement investigations. New phone systems such as Ios8 and Android 5.0 systems are harder to crack, making it less susceptible to data invasion/hacking, but also less likely for FBI to get a warrant for data in question. “It’s near impossible”, said Wandt about a potential revision of the new encryption access.

Wandt also addressed the issue of livestream video camera invasions WNBC News 4 NY’s recent segment and web piece, “I-Team: Hacker Posts Private Live Streams of Hundreds in Tri-State”. Wandt gave pointers on securing cameras from hacker invasions. “Just by changing the default password, you give yourself another layer of security,” he said.
