OF THE
TIMES
Scott's a very personable young man. It was nice to watch him speaking from his beautifully well organized workbench.That depends on what you know about computers an online security, and most people prolly know much less than you!
Apart from that though, his vid didn't give any new or helpful information. The meat of his message was
1. your online digital devices are being spied on 24/7 , all your data is being collectedPretty much, yeah.
2. there is nothing you can do about it
3. but don't worry, the spies probably aren't looking for you because you're probably not doing anything naughty.Almost. First, I've heard countless arguments as to why people should not be worried, which is ridiculous. Privacy should be a right, and today it no longer exists. Also, as in the beginning of the video where the story about Windows Defender is mentioned, it seems people tend to get worked about silly things regarding online security, which usually means they're ignoring other things. So in that sense, the vid is a nice summary of all the things one needs to keep in mind. I highly doubt most people are aware of all the items mentioned, and certainly they probably didn't sit down and think about all of them in terms of a Bigger Picture.
Eh...did I miss anything?
thanks Scott for shutting up the windows haters... Linux is always lauded as some secure system but by judging of the updates I have for my Linux vm, it's the same thing.Well, don't forget Mac users! Heck, the hacks for iPhones alone developed by the alphabet soup guys are astounding.
Now when it comes to data gathering for the real perpetrators of cybercrime, politicians and criminals alike, what happens, nada, it goes down into the black hole of the, what was it called in the 1984 movie it escapes meGood point!
Anyway, it emerges, all squeaky clean, reformulated and rebranded.
