Banks and financial institutions should just get with the bloody times already and allow the user/customer to add multiple passkeys.

When I get those, I automatically close the browser. Then I re-start the computer.

i walked in on my mom and aunt just as they started calling. yelled to hangup, did a little hw, and saved them from an expensive blunder

I wish DeleteMe would come to Canada... It's so badly needed up here because our government is so laxed on privacy laws... All bark and no bite up here.

[Theantihokie]

Keep up the great work! Love your vids!

[hectorg.m.]

This daly security stuff is a massive contribution to society! Keep it up!

I enjoyed this video it is very informative, thank you always Shannon Morse. 👍👍👊🖖🏼

[michaelekpo]

Great video Shannon! Please, do a detailed video on freezing your credit. Looking forward to it as always. Thanks a million times!

[jeffhale]

Thanks for sharing. Very informative. Blessings on your day.

i was a little miffed when signing up for a government website (DHS or something) it immediately asked me 'do you recognize this address?' and a few of my former address' were listed BEFORE I EVEN LOGED IN FOR THE FIRST TIME... ugh. I know my information is out there but seriously, that's like a dumb-stick to the back of my head :/.

[CoverageAwarenessStudio]

I would call it and play with the scammer!

[TonyPadgett]

A lot of the times, identify theft is perpetrated by a family member unfortunately.

[jimcabezola]

Yes! Please do a show on freezing your credit! Is it an intimidating process? Do the credit score companies try to bully you and talk you out of freezing your credit? Do these companies demand one of your kidneys? Do you have to give them SO much data that they can just "accidentally leak" those data to data brokers...and you know the rest? I'm looking forward to following along with you. Aloha.

Schwab also offers voice login. My voice is so bad I don't use it. Thanks for all your advice.

[Rjhaack]

I use a VPN all the time even on my home network. One of my friends said a VPN is really only needed when I'm out in public and using a public WiFi. Thoughts?

[tgimcrew]

DeleteMe only available in USA, What about other countries? Canada, Austrialia, New Zealand, UK

[karanb]

Petition to get Shannon back on Hak5 ?

[VirtousStoic]

8th ❤ ur content. Cloaked is being shady can u plz talk to them. Their site stops letting u generate an identiy or replace one after u sign up and keeps saying sorry theres an error

Seems like they onlu work before u signup

Yes the identities that are made already work fine though

How to protect yourself online, Say your 25, no matter your age. Not tech advice. Listen to Shannon is your best bet.

[jbinfak]

Do not play/reply to those "fun games" like "Your last breakfast + the color of your pants is your porn name". These are farming your personal data.
