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
Good man
Just get her unlimited mobile data
Well, it's better to be safe than sorry
It’s a good thing she takes it seriously and listens to you.
I have to inform you that you are misinformed. Search end to end encryption to find out more information. You are basically secure even if you are connected in the wrong wifi
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.
Exactly people fall for this.
Just because it's free doesn't mean it's safe and worth the risk.
VPNs are effective against MitM attacks if the provider is trusted. It's more or less the only thing they do because privacy wise they are pretty useless.
Not sure about the vpn statement?! A vpn adds an extra encrypted layer so it’s not readable without proper key. So man in the middle is not working, or do I miss something
@@tracetv8115 so you’re kinda right; as I understand it VPNs use private services to mask your IP and help encrypt your data so you can access blocked websites in your country or help hide your location or hide what sites your visiting from your ISP since you’re using the VPNs services. If I’m connected to a shady wifi though it’s still in the process of me sending and receiving all my data. Some sites like banking ones are able to see when someone’s in the middle as when it gives your computer a random generated input value to log on which (would expire after a period of inactivity) sometimes the site can see at your end if the random value has been altered by something in the middle or if another user is trying to use the input value elsewhere and wouldn’t want to let you log on but not all sites can or will do this.
It’s like VPNs put your data into a tunnel that you can go through to get to sites. The tunnel is hard to get in from the outside and you can lie to websites and say the tunnel came from (insert country) since it hides your IP address so the website will let you in. The VPN will still have the hackers connection in the middle of everything you do; like if there’s another guy in the tunnel with you.
@@tracetv8115 Only the VPN company can man in the middle. So if you run your own VPN you're safe
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
You should also be careful with people you just met online that act extremely friendly towards you. They are usually trying to get something out of you/scam you.
@@amarsukhee1828 True
@@amarsukhee1828😮😮that is exactly what happened to me!!!!! Smh
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.
yay software that needs constant fixing. The one thing that can be always in need of fixing and everyone seems to be okay with it.
Some of the most exploitative vulnerabilities are those that come with new updates
@@jahmanborneo1343 nothing will never be 100% secure. There will always be a vulnerability
@@oahts5906 And some of the most dangerous vulnerabilities are those from common, older versions. Takes longer for a patch to be distributed because if it’s common many people have it and older versions have more unpatched issues. But it’s true that even new versions will still have vulnerabilities waiting to be discovered
@@oahts5906yep, that’s why there’s always an update or a hotfix
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.
Great. Now teach them to make manual password backups or pay a company forever to keep them in "the cloud".
Eh, at least on iOS there’s a native password manager these days and I’d imagine Android might have the same. Gone are the days I used 1Password as the switched to subscriptions, I use Bitwarden on a self hosted NAS that I made other accounts for my family members to have access across any OS. Yes it requires someone to setup, either that or you pay someone to do that part if you aren’t comfortable with it
@@shapelessed Bitwarden is free and trusted
The manager gets hacked
*Fun Fact - local PD won't have the knowledge or resources to arrest hackers. If you've been hacked, good luck, they won't make arrests and you'll need to contact the FBI to investigate it.
One of the best guests on this show. Period. Thank you Shawn.
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.
Also, they slow down our working experience making most of the usage in background for gamers it's just a big barrier soo they usually "quit" that running in background!
This is bs. Good anti virus software keeps there database of vulnerability up to date better than windows. New vulnerability is detected way b4 windows has a chance to add it to their database.
Let's just say windows defender isn't technically the best go to antivirus software that one can trust blindly.
It does a pathetic job of removing new malware or even the old ones.
Contrary to windows defender Malwarebytes seems to get the job done although it does put a bit strain on the system ( slows it down ) temporarily so not recommended to run when gaming or doing heavy tasks but best let it run when u aren't using the PC / Laptop to scan for potential threat and remove if any.
And it's free well the free version is great not better than pro but gets the job done of removing malware.
So install Malwarebytes along with windows defender but run Malwarebytes only when u aren't using your system or doing light tasks like surfing the web or using Word stuff like that.
@@codingandtech5909 yeah, i personally never had issues with defender, even on my moms laptop and my dads PC. Honestly if you know what is save to do and what not, youre fine with defender. If you're running something like a business, you need to be more careful obviously. do whatever floats your boat man.
Temu-too good to be tru
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
Better get a rfdi blocker for that
@@mikebar42 okay but how?
@@zoebear1992 no idea
@@zoebear1992 Contact a Hacker?
Maybe contact this guy !
Set up MFA and minimum 12 character password !
thanks for your input....glad u know more than the hacker
@@BaStAgEdid you not watch the whole episode? He already mentioned those
things like 30 minutes before
My bank requires a maximum length of 4 characters, and only numbers are allowed.
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
I had my Anti-Virus save me many times!
One of my Utubers stayed in a hotel and used their wifi. Had to cancel all their credit cards.
Hey hey I hope you have a good weekend GOD BLESS
how do password managers keep you safer? The manager gets hacked and ALL of your passwords are compromised.
I've been debating this very dichotomy for close to a decade now
You just use have to pick one really safe password, and then use a random gen for the others that you store there, and keep everything encrypted, instead of doing what most people do that is using the same unsafe password for everything and when leaks occur and your password gets compromised you are fucked, and having a diferent safe password for everything is not realistical, you will not remember 50+ random passwords.
Exactly
because there's a smaller chance of your password manager getting hacked/leaked, then of one of your login credentials on any of the websites you use getting hacked/leaked. If you repeat passwords or have a simple to remember password, you are at a significantly higher risk than if you use a password manager. Password managers aren't hackerproof, nothing is, it's a game of risk management, and doing what you can. Anything that makes you harder to hack, helps.
With a password manager, you can use a strong, but knowable, password on top of additional security measures.
On mine, I have a strong password and I use a Yubi Key for 2 factor.
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.
probably wasnt malware they just sell your info(reason you were getting 100s spam txts.)
I wish I had this knowledge a few months back!!! I was majorly hacked and cloned and had all my personal information stolen and money stolen out of my bank accounts
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
Really no MFA??? Thats easily better than all those tips by miles..
I normally use a 24 character password..
Turn off computer when not using
Setup a good password manager along with passkeys, ensure the website database doesn't leak data and has good hashing algorithm.
Windows Defender > antivirus
Don't be online!!!! Dont put personal stuff online!!!! Don't use credit cards online!!!! Don't clink on links you don't know!!!! Don't put important stuff on your phone!!!!
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.
This is one interesting guy
Cool
Jokes on you my key fob has been dead for months.
#1 thing anyone can do, be paranoid. Assume it's something bad until ypu feel confident otherwise
Casey Affleck should play this guy in a movie.
I haven't used anti virus software in over 20 years.
It simply is not critical. Flashdrives are critical for safe data archiving.
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
Alright so what makes you qualified to decide that that "unexperts" him though?
So you're definetly more of an expert than him right? /s
@@beepboop9848 Short awnser: yes. Long awnser: The FIRST rule of IT-secruity is to minimise exposition, and then tamper and pen test the inavoidable exposition until its as good a possible. pwd-managers contradict this effort by adding extra exposition on multiple layers. A pwd-manager aims to collect all pwds in one prg (res. database), that's a single point of failiure, dumb idea in itself. The idea to store a pwd (let allone multiple ones) outside your brain, on a possibly compromissed system connected idealy to the internet is another bad idea. It is mostly a question of effort versus possible outcome. (pwd-manager in use? Possibly a worthy target. Running on a (windows)-pc? Also likly an easy target.) Oh and what makes you qualified to ask for my qualification? If you had any, you'd could have found out what my jobtitle is, it's not that hard.
I understand you're German so English isn't your first language, but please, provide your own credentials. This guy is an actual expert.
You know that you can use an on device password manager, or host air-gapped.
Don't use SIM card's bc that's easiest way to track You. If You rly need your sim card for example for internet acces put in mobile router. Use hotspot from it. Use VOIP insted of your sim card for ringing. If you have at least an average PC use virtual windows with antivirus installed on the host, for browsing the Internet or some daily activities. Set yourself an automatic backup (encrypted) of these virtual machines. In the case of problems with viruses that the antivirus does not catch, there is a good chance that it is enough to restore the previous version of the virtual machine with practically no loss by encryption of files, etc... You can always transfer Sensitive files to an additional virtual disk that would be added to the virtual machine only when needed
Such unnecessary overkill, lol
Not at all. There is no such thing as overkill in security or taking care of your own privacy@@utubesuxalotofazz
6. Live in a rural area.
The only way to protect yourself from “hackers” is not to use electronic devices
And to think in my day you just turned a knob for on or off! The phone you just walked over to it and lifted the receiver and said, hello! And the wording they use; 'Hacking?!" Back then that would have been a gruesome machete murder or some such thing. We are some dark beings these days!
Ah the days when hackers were just people who smoked too much.
Aaaand dont forget MFA
Ok. Settle down ladies.
I can give you one get rid of all devices like phone, tablet,home p.c. ect. And go old school can't hack a fileing cabinet
Using any form of connection today is like playing sharks & minnows.
also dont login in public computers and wifi
Put a capital letter in there and at least one number and youre good to go, maybe an exclamation point if its something really important
What about using linux?
So should I accept the offer from the Nigerian prince or not?
I would like to get a hold of him.
My phone has been hacked many times and they have control of my phn. I take them off and they are back on
What about using VPN
One it's enought: throw your portable devices down the toilet. And start to live.
There is nothing you can do to stop a GOOD hacker! If they want in they will get in!
all it takes is a 12 digit passcode and it will take them years to get in. Are they really going to do that for your home computer?? Not really.
@@Trblmkr07 What are you talking about! A data logger and a day or 2 and they will have everything! I said a GOOD hacker,, Not a everyday hacker!
@@kurtnaugle Lol I don't think so.
@@Trblmkr07 Then you don't know! I do! It takes no time to hack your IP address and look at every single key stroke you make! What is the first thing you type when you turn your PC on? Your Password! All of those key strokes are logged! They just have to look and try until they find it!

Wow, 2fa is not one of them??
🌸 stay away from me when im out of season 🙃 🌸
What password manager is safe?
Bitwarden is a great password manager, it's free and let's you keep 2FA codes on it as well with a pretty reasonable 10 dollar a year subscription.
If you don't trust your passwords on their servers, you can also host your own.
using AV ?!
Are you sure the website ain't telling you your device ain't safe
Freeze your credit at all 3 credit bureaus for free in most states. No credit hit --> no new accounts or loans opened.
I have had my credit frozen for 20 years.
1. Keep nothing on electronic crap that you don't want public.
2. Make a few bootable drives on a known clean machine and swap them out regularly.
3. Disable wifi, NetBIOS, etc. block/disable all USB and other physical ports.
4. Use your brain/mind and public telephones.
5. Consult a reliable psychic to locate the hackers and if possible destroy them.
And a virtual machine but hey most people don't want to do that everyday.
Reality : You can't protect yourself from getting hacked 😂.
in times of AI videos, how can we trust this?
Like all the other experts, the simplest is overlooked: have 2 computers. 1 for browsing/emails/games/etc, and a 2nd for financials ONLY... and keep it off when not using it.
He missed the one most important thing: phishing emails
Emails aren’t used much outside of work and phishing emails re so incredibly easy to detect it’s not even a big issue unless your brain dead
Basically just don’t use the internet at all
I guess he's never heard of a VPN!!!
None of the attacks and tools he talks about can't be stopped with anti-virus or rfid blocking cases. There are flaws and functions of the devices people use.
5 simple things?!? It'd just be easier to hire that guy.
Please don't use a password manager...
You are a hacker and scammer, and password managers single handedly cucked you
Why
@@chodowski_legacy because if somehow or for whatever reason someone gets that password of that password manager. Congratulations they now have access to all of your passwords. This happen to me a few months back. Fortunately I got notified within a few mins and had chance to change every single password in time. just like 2 accounts were compromised but later got them back.
@@chodowski_legacy The reason is simple if you use a Password Manager and you have all of your passwords saved in any of the browser's and you have encountered a hacking situation it's simple the hacker will easily get to know with what password you log in (computer login password) is and then they will monitor the Password Manager that all Password's you have saved let it be Bank Account's or any other personal account's password this may breach your entire main account's data and it can also go public so be aware I would say NEVER to get into these typo situations be SMART NO DUMB! -
Why
Don't all computers come with a built-in antivirus software?....is the windows antivirus program any good?
Windows Defender is all you'll likely ever need, recommending antivirus nowadays is not a great practice, as most of them are very invasive, or are a scam compared to what you're already getting for free with Defender.
You should only consider a third-party antivirus if you are using an operating system that isn't supported by its manufacturer anymore, such as Windows XP through Windows 8.1.
If you don't think defender is doing it's job, you can temporarily install an antivirus to do a quick scan and then remove it, using something like Malwarebytes. Tronscript is my favorite tool for this.
If you know you are infected, it's in your best interest to back up your data and reinstall Windows.
And don't use public wifi
Stop using Windows, don't install apps on the same phone you use for important things, like email.
lost me at anti-virus
disable tap on youur cards all together, use a car thats before 2010
Dont click on any links
his buddies are making password manager software lol
windows defender with occasional malwarebytes
I use the onion router hihihiha
stone age be looking attractive lately
1) Don't use windows.
Vpn isn't a bad idea either
What about a VPN???
A VPN just changes your location for websites. but it doesn't hide your device information
If its from the 5, 9, 14 eyes, its compromised and they give back door access to information!
WiFi , WiFi , WiFi !!!!! Be careful. I just went to a 5g laptop and do not use WiFi
Would vpn useful ?
VPNs aren't going to do much to protect you, other than masking your location with a different IP address.
VPN providers could also keep logs of your traffic.
If you have to have a VPN make sure you do a lot of research into their practices.
I recommend Mullvad VPN as it is extremely privacy-focused.
Avoid free VPNs like the plague, they 100% sell data on you, or else it wouldn't be free.
Idk man seems like pretty bad idea to have a single program that knows all of your passwords
That's what I thought. So we just trust google. .
That sounds like something a hacker would try to tell you
you have to realize how password managers work before jumping to conclusions
you have to use a yubikey 5 nfc to log into your password manager, and for all of your other accounts that support yubikey..
When I use Amazon I get phishing emails. It's like somebody there sees my activity and does it. They are so stupid, they don't even have the logo on the line. Also lately it's the I recorded you - so stupid.
If it's happens often at the same time, I would investigate it further. Some advices I can give you:
1- Turn off Third-party Cookies.
2- Use a secure DNS (Browser settings or your device settings).
3- Check who is using your Wi-Fi from the router settings, if you see a device you don't recognize block it from the Wi-Fi and change your Wi-Fi to a really strong one (20+ characters) best to generate one using a password, manager.
4- Check if someone have access to your Amazon account.
If nothing of the above worked then it's likely have to do with your ISP.
One of these days we will all find out this guy was a creep all along.
