Are you doing enough to protect your families’ online safety? [Advertiser content from Allstate]

Most people learn essential safety lessons starting from a young age. We’re taught to look both ways before crossing the street, cover our moths when we cough or sneeze, and wear a helmet, just to name a few essentials. But for as much emphasis that’s placed on “real world” safety, many people still overlook basic safety practices online.

92% of Americans say they care about online safety, but their actions show otherwise. Like the real parents in the video above, the majority of people use one or a handful of different passwords for all their accounts, and a third have shared their password with others.

Habits like these can make you an easy target for hackers, fraudsters, and data breaches. In 2019 alone, identity fraud losses totaled $16.9 billion. Moreover, it can take anywhere between 100 hours and six months to fix the effects of identity theft. For parents, this can be especially costly. Families with children under 18 are 128% more likely to be victims of identity fraud compared to the average American, and they pay more than twice as much out of pocket as a result of identity fraud.

This may be an ad for allstate, but wow I really liked how the teacher explained the concept. Even adults can benefit from thinking about it like that

Calm down everyone. Let’s let Vox pay the bills.

Last time I was this early the internet didn’t even exist

[enock_elk]

Lol, kinda feels like I've just watched one long unskippable YouTube AD

[desireeespinosa]

I love how they made this simple enough for a child

[MachetaPedro]

This went from a explain video into full blown comercial. Sneeky

[jurriaan]

I know it says it's an ad. But this is an ad!!!

[marcportaro]

It hit me hard when that kid said not to lick the subway 😅

[noisyguest]

I never knew hackers bought 100 pizzas for themselves :(

INSTALLING ADBLOCK IS THE BEST WAY TO STAY SAFE

[googleuser]

Its sad for me to see jayne with glasses at such a young age :(

[haresmahmood]

I'm genuinely curious: how much did they pay you to upload this?

[MrNeboff]

i have just watched a minute of this. It's an ad for something, isn't it ? Maybe a VPN, or encryption software. I'll be back .lol

[CLAYZERFUL]

This video didn't show up in my sub feed :(

[Saidul_]

I didn't get notified.
Is it because it is an advertisement?

Don't over-protect your child! Either they never will learn about nothing!!

This video is pretty good for the first 3:22 minutes, but there are free places to check your passwords (Google chrome has their own password tool, but there is also haveibeenpwned, which provides more information about specific data leaks)

I think adults need to think more about internet safety, especially those who didn’t grow up with the internet. For some reason, parents forget about (or ignore) internet safety for their child, and post revealing information about them on the public internet. I hope more people start to see the impact this can have on themselves and their families!

Is this basically then an improved version of "Have I been pwned"?

[not_orb]

Parents pay attention at what they watch on YouTube. Now i have 2 kid sailors.
