The Hidden Dangers of App Permissions & Single Sign-On

Ever clicked "Sign in with Google" without thinking twice? You're not alone—but that convenience might be your biggest security risk. In this episode of SipCyber, Jen Lotze breaks down the invisible web of permissions connecting your entire digital life, filmed at Black Sheep Coffee in St. Paul, MN.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series on managing your digital risk profile. We're exposing how single sign-on creates a domino effect that can topple your entire online presence if one account falls. Plus, we reveal what apps like TikTok are really accessing on your phone—and why you should care.

Your Action Items:

• Deny unnecessary permissions on new app downloads
• Audit your Google/Facebook connected apps today
• Use unique passwords for critical accounts (banking, email, retirement)

This isn't about fear—it's about informed decisions. Does a video app really need your contacts and GPS location? Probably not. Learn to spot the red flags before you hit "Accept All."

Don't let convenience compromise your security. Hit subscribe for Part 2, where we dive into the global threat landscape and how businesses use white papers to define risk. Your digital safety starts with one simple audit—let's get started.
