A couple weeks back i had to give my mom a lecture because she had autoconnect on to public wifi, and had no idea that the networks could be fake or even the real ones could steal your data, now every time she sees a public wifi she feels the need to confirm its legitimacy with me regardless of if im even there, the amount of screenshots ive recieved of doctor office wifi's is hilarious
Don’t click popups. Don’t use airport wifi or any shady wifi you find; VPNs don’t protect you from man in the middle attacks. Bring a portable charger on flights, don’t plug into the ports on the backs of seats; anybody can code scripts on those. And turn your airdrop receiving and Bluetooth off when you’re not explicitly using it.
Huge one: the more urgent something seems to be or the more urgent the other end seems to be, the more fake it probably is. Microsoft is not going to yell at you or threaten you. But a scammer/hacker will
Another one: keep your software up to date. It’s very simple to update, and fixes important security issues. Tech is incredibly safe nowadays, but hackers are becoming incredibly skilful and malicious as well. The tech you use is becoming safer with these updates.
Man. I have to say, this guy is really well spoken. It’s not only the programs and examples of security he uses, but the way he tells it to the interviewer. Really good
The point in using a password manager is so there are no common words or anything in your passwords, they can all be different, and you don’t have to worry about not remembering them. Whenever I tell my parents to enter a password, they pick a word that is closely associated with them (a pet, a child, a city) and a year associated with the word and they reuse that password. Using a password manager removed that problem.
I am not an expert but i have a lot of experience with antivirus software. They don't improve your systems protection. A lot of them are a security risk themselves. What's way more important is keeping your system and apps updated. The internal antivirus in your os is usually the best option on windows 10 / 11, mac, Linux, Android, ios.
how do password managers keep you safer? The manager gets hacked and ALL of your passwords are compromised.
One of the best guests on this show. Period. Thank you Shawn.
I went to college for a couple years just taking classes i wanted and not worrying about a certificate or diploma, so i took computer classes and cyber security classes and digital forensics classes. I don't think anyone is safe online, period!! The fact is there are a lot black hat and grey hat hackers out there. If i could go without internet i would but my heart is connected to the heart monitor that transmits over wifi. I hate wifi
The only password manager that cannot be broken is written on a paper, not held by another software. I most of the time go old school on password manager, I am the password manager.
I have a degree in computer networking and one thing I tell my family is to never log onto your bank on public wi-fi. there are many software that allow someone to do a "man in the middle attack " where when someone tries to connect to a site, they instead connect to you and then you route them to their destination. this allows you to see everything they enter on that website including passwords
All of this was spot on. Password managers are a great first step, and you should always consult with an IT expert to make sure you're taking the right steps to protect your business's specific network and infrastructure.
expert unexperted himself in tip 1: do not use pwd managers (trust jet another companey with your pwds? why?) rfid shielded wallets are a must have though
Hey hey I hope you have a good weekend GOD BLESS
number 1 should be : don't get targeted, unless you are protected by some high security company if people try to hack you they will probably succeed (you can still slow them and take preventive measures) , no wall is impenetrable
I’m not gonna lie when I was a teenager I almost fell for the “you want a free new iPhone” routine, I was halfway through putting my info in and then it finally clicked that this sounds suspicious as hell.
6. Live in a rural area.
Change your passwords every few months. Don’t use the same password for serious stuff like banking, medical etc. Write them down on a notepad and keep in a safe at home if you’re worried about forgetting them. Don’t click on random stuff in your email. Don’t use public wifi. It’s that simple.
There is nothing you can do to stop a GOOD hacker! If they want in they will get in!
