5 Crucial Cybersecurity Tips with Ryan Montgomery: Protect Yourself from Hackers NOW!  

Good man

Just get her unlimited mobile data

Well, it's better to be safe than sorry

It’s a good thing she takes it seriously and listens to you.

I have to inform you that you are misinformed. Search end to end encryption to find out more information. You are basically secure even if you are connected in the wrong wifi

Exactly people fall for this. Just because it's free doesn't mean it's safe and worth the risk.

VPNs are effective against MitM attacks if the provider is trusted. It's more or less the only thing they do because privacy wise they are pretty useless.

Not sure about the vpn statement?! A vpn adds an extra encrypted layer so it’s not readable without proper key. So man in the middle is not working, or do I miss something

@@tracetv8115 so you’re kinda right; as I understand it VPNs use private services to mask your IP and help encrypt your data so you can access blocked websites in your country or help hide your location or hide what sites your visiting from your ISP since you’re using the VPNs services. If I’m connected to a shady wifi though it’s still in the process of me sending and receiving all my data. Some sites like banking ones are able to see when someone’s in the middle as when it gives your computer a random generated input value to log on which (would expire after a period of inactivity) sometimes the site can see at your end if the random value has been altered by something in the middle or if another user is trying to use the input value elsewhere and wouldn’t want to let you log on but not all sites can or will do this. It’s like VPNs put your data into a tunnel that you can go through to get to sites. The tunnel is hard to get in from the outside and you can lie to websites and say the tunnel came from (insert country) since it hides your IP address so the website will let you in. The VPN will still have the hackers connection in the middle of everything you do; like if there’s another guy in the tunnel with you.

@@tracetv8115 Only the VPN company can man in the middle. So if you run your own VPN you're safe

You should also be careful with people you just met online that act extremely friendly towards you. They are usually trying to get something out of you/scam you.

​@@amarsukhee1828 True

​@@amarsukhee1828😮😮that is exactly what happened to me!!!!! Smh

yay software that needs constant fixing. The one thing that can be always in need of fixing and everyone seems to be okay with it.

Some of the most exploitative vulnerabilities are those that come with new updates

@@jahmanborneo1343 nothing will never be 100% secure. There will always be a vulnerability

@@oahts5906 And some of the most dangerous vulnerabilities are those from common, older versions. Takes longer for a patch to be distributed because if it’s common many people have it and older versions have more unpatched issues. But it’s true that even new versions will still have vulnerabilities waiting to be discovered

@@oahts5906yep, that’s why there’s always an update or a hotfix

Great. Now teach them to make manual password backups or pay a company forever to keep them in "the cloud".

Eh, at least on iOS there’s a native password manager these days and I’d imagine Android might have the same. Gone are the days I used 1Password as the switched to subscriptions, I use Bitwarden on a self hosted NAS that I made other accounts for my family members to have access across any OS. Yes it requires someone to setup, either that or you pay someone to do that part if you aren’t comfortable with it

@@shapelessed Bitwarden is free and trusted

The manager gets hacked

Also, they slow down our working experience making most of the usage in background for gamers it's just a big barrier soo they usually "quit" that running in background!

This is bs. Good anti virus software keeps there database of vulnerability up to date better than windows. New vulnerability is detected way b4 windows has a chance to add it to their database.

Let's just say windows defender isn't technically the best go to antivirus software that one can trust blindly. It does a pathetic job of removing new malware or even the old ones. Contrary to windows defender Malwarebytes seems to get the job done although it does put a bit strain on the system ( slows it down ) temporarily so not recommended to run when gaming or doing heavy tasks but best let it run when u aren't using the PC / Laptop to scan for potential threat and remove if any. And it's free well the free version is great not better than pro but gets the job done of removing malware. So install Malwarebytes along with windows defender but run Malwarebytes only when u aren't using your system or doing light tasks like surfing the web or using Word stuff like that.

@@codingandtech5909 yeah, i personally never had issues with defender, even on my moms laptop and my dads PC. Honestly if you know what is save to do and what not, youre fine with defender. If you're running something like a business, you need to be more careful obviously. do whatever floats your boat man.

I had my Anti-Virus save me many times!

One of my Utubers stayed in a hotel and used their wifi. Had to cancel all their credit cards.

Better get a rfdi blocker for that

@@mikebar42 okay but how?

@@zoebear1992 no idea

@@zoebear1992 Contact a Hacker?

Maybe contact this guy !

thanks for your input....glad u know more than the hacker

@@BaStAgEdid you not watch the whole episode? He already mentioned those things like 30 minutes before

My bank requires a maximum length of 4 characters, and only numbers are allowed.

probably wasnt malware they just sell your info(reason you were getting 100s spam txts.)

I've been debating this very dichotomy for close to a decade now

You just use have to pick one really safe password, and then use a random gen for the others that you store there, and keep everything encrypted, instead of doing what most people do that is using the same unsafe password for everything and when leaks occur and your password gets compromised you are fucked, and having a diferent safe password for everything is not realistical, you will not remember 50+ random passwords.

Exactly

because there's a smaller chance of your password manager getting hacked/leaked, then of one of your login credentials on any of the websites you use getting hacked/leaked. If you repeat passwords or have a simple to remember password, you are at a significantly higher risk than if you use a password manager. Password managers aren't hackerproof, nothing is, it's a game of risk management, and doing what you can. Anything that makes you harder to hack, helps.

With a password manager, you can use a strong, but knowable, password on top of additional security measures. On mine, I have a strong password and I use a Yubi Key for 2 factor.

Ah the days when hackers were just people who smoked too much.

Such unnecessary overkill, lol

Not at all. There is no such thing as overkill in security or taking care of your own privacy@@utubesuxalotofazz

Alright so what makes you qualified to decide that that "unexperts" him though? So you're definetly more of an expert than him right? /s

@@beepboop9848 Short awnser: yes. Long awnser: The FIRST rule of IT-secruity is to minimise exposition, and then tamper and pen test the inavoidable exposition until its as good a possible. pwd-managers contradict this effort by adding extra exposition on multiple layers. A pwd-manager aims to collect all pwds in one prg (res. database), that's a single point of failiure, dumb idea in itself. The idea to store a pwd (let allone multiple ones) outside your brain, on a possibly compromissed system connected idealy to the internet is another bad idea. It is mostly a question of effort versus possible outcome. (pwd-manager in use? Possibly a worthy target. Running on a (windows)-pc? Also likly an easy target.) Oh and what makes you qualified to ask for my qualification? If you had any, you'd could have found out what my jobtitle is, it's not that hard.

I understand you're German so English isn't your first language, but please, provide your own credentials. This guy is an actual expert.

You know that you can use an on device password manager, or host air-gapped.

Emails aren’t used much outside of work and phishing emails re so incredibly easy to detect it’s not even a big issue unless your brain dead

I have had my credit frozen for 20 years.

Windows Defender is all you'll likely ever need, recommending antivirus nowadays is not a great practice, as most of them are very invasive, or are a scam compared to what you're already getting for free with Defender. You should only consider a third-party antivirus if you are using an operating system that isn't supported by its manufacturer anymore, such as Windows XP through Windows 8.1. If you don't think defender is doing it's job, you can temporarily install an antivirus to do a quick scan and then remove it, using something like Malwarebytes. Tronscript is my favorite tool for this. If you know you are infected, it's in your best interest to back up your data and reinstall Windows.

all it takes is a 12 digit passcode and it will take them years to get in. Are they really going to do that for your home computer?? Not really.

@@Trblmkr07 What are you talking about! A data logger and a day or 2 and they will have everything! I said a GOOD hacker,, Not a everyday hacker!

@@kurtnaugle Lol I don't think so.

@@Trblmkr07 Then you don't know! I do! It takes no time to hack your IP address and look at every single key stroke you make! What is the first thing you type when you turn your PC on? Your Password! All of those key strokes are logged! They just have to look and try until they find it!

​@@kurtnaugle Hack your IP, can you explain how someone can hack your IP. Please don't just repeat buzzwords, do some research.

Bitwarden is a great password manager, it's free and let's you keep 2FA codes on it as well with a pretty reasonable 10 dollar a year subscription. If you don't trust your passwords on their servers, you can also host your own.

Says the guy with a dirty chomo mustache

If it's happens often at the same time, I would investigate it further. Some advices I can give you: 1- Turn off Third-party Cookies. 2- Use a secure DNS (Browser settings or your device settings). 3- Check who is using your Wi-Fi from the router settings, if you see a device you don't recognize block it from the Wi-Fi and change your Wi-Fi to a really strong one (20+ characters) best to generate one using a password, manager. 4- Check if someone have access to your Amazon account. If nothing of the above worked then it's likely have to do with your ISP.

You are a hacker and scammer, and password managers single handedly cucked you

Why

@@chodowski_legacy because if somehow or for whatever reason someone gets that password of that password manager. Congratulations they now have access to all of your passwords. This happen to me a few months back. Fortunately I got notified within a few mins and had chance to change every single password in time. just like 2 accounts were compromised but later got them back.

​@@chodowski_legacy The reason is simple if you use a Password Manager and you have all of your passwords saved in any of the browser's and you have encountered a hacking situation it's simple the hacker will easily get to know with what password you log in (computer login password) is and then they will monitor the Password Manager that all Password's you have saved let it be Bank Account's or any other personal account's password this may breach your entire main account's data and it can also go public so be aware I would say NEVER to get into these typo situations be SMART NO DUMB! -

Why

VPNs aren't going to do much to protect you, other than masking your location with a different IP address. VPN providers could also keep logs of your traffic. If you have to have a VPN make sure you do a lot of research into their practices. I recommend Mullvad VPN as it is extremely privacy-focused. Avoid free VPNs like the plague, they 100% sell data on you, or else it wouldn't be free.

That's what I thought. So we just trust google. .

That sounds like something a hacker would try to tell you

you have to realize how password managers work before jumping to conclusions

you have to use a yubikey 5 nfc to log into your password manager, and for all of your other accounts that support yubikey..

Still change the password of all your accounts and active a multi-factor authentication

@@emmanueltellez8790 u mean 2 factor authentication?

@@emmanueltellez8790 I'm super tensed is my chrome account safe ?

@@emmanueltellez8790 can u talk personally with me?

@@emmanueltellez8790 my 2 factor authentication is on and I don't find any other device showing rather my pc and mobile phone and didn't got any email from Google about suspicious activity

A VPN just changes your location for websites. but it doesn't hide your device information

If its from the 5, 9, 14 eyes, its compromised and they give back door access to information!
