Shane Hewitt & The Nightshift, Shane teams up with cybersecurity expert Ritesh Kotak to dig into the shady world of free VPNs—and why some have been pulled from app stores for spying on users.

📱 Why Apple and Google are cracking down
🕵️♂️ What to look for in a safe, reliable VPN
💡 And how to take control of your digital privacy before it's too late
If you're using a "free" VPN, this episode might just change how you think about online security.
Tune in, protect your data, and don’t get fooled by a false sense of privacy.
Tech Life with Kris Abel who joins the Nightshift and analyzes the week's biggest technology stories . In Silicon Valley (Palo Alto, California), a series of public crosswalks have been hacked so that when you press the pedestrian call button it instead plays a recording of an AI-generated fake Elon Musk or fake Mark Zuckerberg voice delivering a mocking monologue. Later, Kris tells Shane about a wildly popular Kickstarter that has started for a “tiny robot” cat🐱 that can cool down your hot food and drinks. The $35 cat figure called Nekojita FuFu clings to the rim of a cup or bowl and then blows air to push away the rising heat from your food.
