Thank you!

Will the +word method only work with gmail? I have a Yahoo account.

Hi Kathy Zant, your speech is very interesting and relevant, in my update routines, i don't use auto-update, i always leave it disabled in order to have the least downtime in relation to the maintenance screen, and if necessary, new code break something, i believe this works better than auto-update, which does not take away the importance of automatic updates. It turns out that my routines are manual and monthly, consequently i have a better check of what is going into the update, perhaps the preciousness and bureaucracy seem like obstacles, but they contribute to a solid application. keep bringing these discussions. Thanks.

Wow, WordPress auto-updates have saved me so much time and hassle for the sites I maintain. Now I'm rethinking my strategy. Thanks so much for this.

Thanks for the great information and advice, Kathy, on SIM Swapping and I have just subscribed to your channel. Just have a question. I'm an old timer and have been using PC online banking since the inception way back when. Since the beginning of Social media and mobile banking I have refused to use both, therefore I have very little on line personal info out there. I don't store any passwords on my phone and only use my phone mainly for texting and browsing. I know boring. I emailed my bank and they don't use a security key method as 2 factor authentication method but I think I will buy a security key for the other sites that allow it. I have setup a second email account for my financial stuff as a precaution as my main gmail account has been breached. So my question is, will I still be some what vulnerable to SIM swapping? Also if I sign into my bank, on my PC, and my code gets sent to SMS text can the jerks get into my account? Thanks and have a great day.

do you recommend cloaked wireless for cell service?

Good advice! I use Bricks and love it. I always update.

happened to me once, I got it resolved but it was a pain in the arse calling tech support that also has no idea of what to do.

Cloaked Wireless is the only real protection against SIM swap attacks. They prevent staff from modifying accounts. Only the customer can do that.

No banks in Canada use authenticator apps or devices like YubiKey. People have been losing money from scams, and while the banks make a big deal on their sites about backing your online accounts 100%, tons of news stories showing they don't.

As a middle aged engineer with a child on the spectrum, what do you see as the benefits of getting oneself tested at this point in life?

Isn’t that why we encrypt iMessage has been using Ecc to encrypt for years now 🤷‍♂️

What? Very few people use there phones for text and pots calls. You seriously think that the general public doesn't know about chat and voice apps??😂😂😂😂😂😂

I repair computers for a living and you would be amazed about how naive 90% of people are regarding internet security. I'm almost 60, but I've been a computer geek for 50 years. Most people in my approximate age bracket are particularly trusting (gullible), especially since these new fangled abominations called smart phones and devices came out (LOL). On PCs, the biggest problem with my customers is that I can't get them to stop clicking on links in phishing emails.

Thought i was gonna see a channel with 10k + subscribers and hella views. This is some profesional video production.

Unfortunately xfinity does verify your identity with an sms code read over the phone. Very poor practice I noticed while dealing with them recently. Certain messages say not to share the code, and the ones they ask for don’t say that.

Thanks to Microsoft for their ridiculous URLs people are so used to constantly typing microsoft credentials in these random (legitimate) hard to read URLs, it makes it hard for average users to discern. Thanks MS..

Use temp email to give out. Use virtual machines

Sandboxing (so far) is a safe way to open risky attachments or other files. Virustotal is good at eliminating potential threats. One antivirus can fail spotting malware, but over 70 different vendors have better chance against malware.

Hmmm if they click on anyhing sent to them out of blue, even if a follow up, they aren't that savvy then. Always don't trust any links in mobile media where you cannot hover over them or inspect the link in detail independently. This is why I hate smartphones as supposed computers. You have your hands tied in some aspects as an average user. All that advice for the use on PC doesn't quite work in mobile devices. Always search the website of the company and log into it by yourself. Just beware of sponsored links. Those might be phishing sites, too.
