Connected Bodies, Compromised Privacy: Navigating the IoB and Geopolitical Risks

CISO Insights: Voices in Cybersecurity

The Internet of Bodies (IoB) promises a revolution in personalized health and convenience by collecting intimate data directly from our bodies, ranging from heart rate to potential future capabilities like reading thoughts. However, this widespread data collection introduces profound privacy challenges, including unclear data ownership, bypassed informed consent, and the significant risk of misuse and exploitation, forming "identity shadows" or "data doubles". This episode dives deep into these unseen privacy risks, exploring how foreign adversaries, such as Chinese biotech firms like BGI Group, are actively seeking to leverage sensitive genetic information for national security, economic dominance, and potential social control or even bioweapon development.
