Welcome to Tech Refresh with Kim Commando and friends from Commander.com with a K. That's K-O-M-A-N-D-O.

Kim is on vacation this week. We've got Allie. We've got Ben. I'm Mike. Today, the deep dive. Online deliveries have we, I actually did get something ripped off of my front porch, so I can tell that story.

Also, vacation rental scams, what you need to watch out for as you prepare to get back out in the world and go on vacation this year.

We'd also love it if you tap the subscribe button so you don't never miss an episode.

This will be delivered automatically to your

device every single week. And we start with the news. And Allie, what's going on with your phones,

pass codes, and Venmo account? Well, they have something in common. Two things, both things

that you should keep closely guarded. And they're both things that politicians have kind of screwed up lately.

So the senator, Democratic Senator, his name is Richard Blumenthal. He's from Connecticut.

He did a pretty dumb thing the other day on C-SPAN.

He was talking about how we open up our phones in just a second with our fingerprint or in just a few seconds by putting in our passcode.

And he put in his passcode on TV.

Now you might be saying nobody's watching C-SPAN. It doesn't matter. That might be true. Sorry C-SPAN.

But the clip I saw on Twitter had 75,000 views. And that was just one clip alone. Ted Cruz interrupted

him pretty quickly to tell him that was a bad idea.

Blumenthal probably felt a little silly, but his response was really kind of nonsense to me.

He said, my life is an open book saying essentially, I don't have anything to hide.

That's just not true, and I think that's the attitude that gets people in trouble, right?

You might think, nobody wants any of my information.

What do I have?

There's actually a lot on your phone that you should be protecting.

Oh, no question.
