Ever since an account of mine was hacked back in mid-2022, I've been making it my best effort to be almost completely unhackable and untraceable online. I'm glad I found your channel among other channels who cover online security/privacy. You guys have helped me a ton!

[SECYBERSAFE]

I hope people will understand that nothing is full proof.
Good thing a channel like yours exists.
We always need to be updated.

These days we are encouraged to replace physical keys in their own home with passwords or access cards. Now we are told that we should replace passwords for online accounts with physical keys

I have been in IT for over 35 years and my mantra has always been nothing is safe and everything is hackable. I have always "actively encouraged" family and friends to be IT security aware for their own benefit. This presentation is very concise, easy for the layman to understand and covers the more important points everyone needs to be aware of.
Well done ... I can now refer to this without sounding like a broken record. 😜

One of the things I do is put alerts on all my accounts....If someone logs in, i get an alert, if someone changes my personal info, i get an you don't have alerts setup, do it. Especially login alerts....those will happen even if someone does hack you. If someone logs in to your account, you will be notified immediately. If they change password, you will get annoying but it is so worth it. I usually setup email and text alerts.

Just found you this very day!!! Lucky me. Thank you for teaching us how to watch our own backs better and making it clear that we need to step up our game to be less vulnerable. I just watched 4 of your videos back -to - back and found MUCH in each one that I need to implement. That is all of this info I think I want to take in at this moment, but I DID share with friends, whom I believe will be grateful too.

the best security is to not have personal information. never stay in a messaging group channel, disable messaging and notification if you can, never make information permanent, 3 months interval of deleting old password, separate email for every social media. never save cookies, have 2fa, sms, don't use password manager learn to type.. sandbox the entire computer or run it over VM.. while VPN/TOR good its better to run your own via cloud provider, take note of sites you registered so you can delete your account

[travelman]

Great Advice! Thank you very much for sharing.

Awesome video. It's scary in a way to think of the future of personal information theft. My problem is I have numerous email accounts dating back to the inception of America Online. I'm now in the tedious process of deleting them all. Thank you.

I salute you so useful & helpful content looking forward your next video thanks Josh 🤩

[MeticulousTechTV]

I FINALLY got my spouse to use a password manager… and then 2022 happened. Can you guess which one she used? 😢

[barrywilliams]

Set yout email reader to not automatically show pictures embedded in email. If there are senders you trust, set them individually.

All of those pictures contain trackers in their URLs and it lets the sender know you have looked at the email.

You know those emails that are blank until you dhow the picture attached? Those are sent to fish for active accents and it opens uou up for many different exploits

[hamadico]

I am still convincing my significant other that passwords in notes app is not safe. No luck at password manager yet.

[genericdude]

Sheesh. The amount of time, money and effort to protect our privacy has us throwing our hands up in frustration.

[michaelrobsimonbyrne]

thanks josh i use my physical key for my accounts

[mastergreener]

Thanks for all of the vids, tips and work. I was wondering if any chance of doing a video comparing the new privacy, decentralised and privacy focused messaging apps like Secretum, Damus etc?

[garys]

Good info for protecting user access to their accounts. Now if we could get the organizations that house these accounts to protect their databases better against hacks.

[nauxsi]

The worry about 2fa is getting locked out of accounts because you don't have physical device nearby.

[houghi]

I have my own domain. So what I do is make a new alias for each company I have to leave an email addres. It saved me at least once when I received a really good looking fake from my bank, but send to a generic account I use for unimportant things. As the bank does not kn ow that email, it could not have been them. It also is obvious if there is a hack. If I get an email to e.g. my bank email, then I know they are either sold my email (unlikely, as I live in Europe) or they have been compromised.

I have 250+ email adresses. Sure sounds like a lot, but I add them one by one and this is something I build over many years. Sure, it is an extra step I need to do when I get to buy from a new company, but it is worth it. It even makes me think "Is it worth the trouble?" and sometimes it is not.
