I ignore important emails from important people or institutions anyway.
(The Internet equivalent of hiding behind the couch when you hear a landlord knock on the door)
So ignoring spam is super easy, barely ....

#5 is so important. I can't stand it when people refuse to update their system, you need security updates! I care a lot about privacy, significantly more than most people, yet I always stay on top of security updates. There's a reason for this! To anybody reading this, you can easily set your windows PC to only give security updates and not feature updates, if that's your thing. Many tutorials or tools online to do it :D

Great video as always!

I am old school but prefer not to have my banking apps on my phone. Anything that leaves my house and is portable like my phone is a risk in general.

[dcs]

dont use your phone for shopping and/or banking. My phone is for calling only. If you use it for work, get yourself a personal phone.

[boblangill]

I'm a proud neo-luddite. My phone has no banking apps or other apps that can purchase things. The only sort of smart thing operating my lights or appliances is me.

Thanks, Liron, with the click unsubscribe link, I don't click that, if I see it as strange mail, I'll mark it as spam, and/or make a filter in Gmail to automatically delete those emails.

All others I do as your video said, as I feel that is just common sense.

Take care

Besides having finger/face scans, my phone doesn't use a 4 digit pin for backup. It has an 8 digit alphanumeric password. Further, all the IMPORTANT apps are locked and have to be unlocked the same way as the phone and their backup isn't the password, it is a 4 digit pin. And once opened, if I change screens for something, I have to unlock the bank app for example, to continue where I left off. A little bit of a nuisance/slow down, but well worth it...

[DogsVlogs]

How do you know the pin for my phone? Thankfully it doesn't matter as I only use it as a phone and texts. It doesn't have email or anything and it rarely leaves home.

I Keep Nothing on my phone, except Phone numbers, Absolutely NO Legal Accounts{IE; Banking, Google, Emails, ETC}🤔☺

My daughter really liked the Google phone review you did. She had been wondering about that specific phone.
I'm sending her this video as well because I want her to hear what you just said about setting up the security camera on the guest account.

Thanks Liron👽🛸

Excellent, very informative. Have a blessed life thanks.

In reference to putting your smart devices on a different network ... what about streaming devices? How vulnerable are they?

[ELO_Dude]

I'm curious, why wouldn't you put your smart devices on the dedicated IoT network instead of the guest network? That is also isolated from your main network, no?

[tonynes]

I have Delete me. Anything that protects you these days is important. I'm still using Windows 7 on my main C Drive / PC. No problems so far with Norton 360 protection. Firefox and Opera browser, Malwarebytes and VPN (sometimes). Any problem with that?

[mudani]

Thanks for the Heads Up!

Remain Vigilant!

[moneyinyourpockets]

Someone keeps trying to login to my outlook from diff Vons or countries and had to change my padd twice in the last 2 weeks but what's weird is I keep getting hundreds of spam! What can I do and why are they doing it?

[classicalricky]

im always checking for updates weekly. important & optional. anytime I see a update, I'm hitting that update button

[ShiroColdkeyesTheHedgehog]

What about secure IoT network? Why just guest networks?

about the sponsor links, does an adblocker that blocks malicious links can help here?
