  • In this video, I take a close look at social engineering, which is when scammers try and fool us into giving up our passwords and pin codes. Together, we’ll go over the origins of this common cyberattack and how you can protect yourself.
    I also decided to do a little experiment by sending phishing links to 12 of my friends. Will any of them take the bait?
    We hope you enjoy!

    15:02 I've used most of the antivirus softwares on windows in the past 10 years and I've come to the conclusion that almost all of those are not as good as the default windows defender in catching malicious files and basic UX. Most third party softwares use a significant amount of system resources at all times. I haven't found anything that works better and is more seamless than windows defender. I don't think having an extra antivirus software is important or provides extra security to people who are getting phished and not to mention that all the antivirus software other than the top few feel really shady for the amount of permissions they require to function. I would say that if you've been on the internet for the past 2-3 years then having a third party antivirus software is a big oof.

    • @goosewithagibus
      @goosewithagibus 2 года назад +6

      I concur. I also don't think it's necessary for people, like myself, who are very cautious on the internet with shady things. I haven't used a third party anti virus for about 9 years and have only once gotten a virus. It's actually super easy to avoid getting viruses and such if you just follow very basic safety etiquette online.

    You're doing a great job, more people need to see your videos!
    When you were talking about banking and 2-factor auth, I just had to think about the big mess that banking authentication actually is in. Quite often a code by SMS serves the purpose, in times where sim-swap is not impossible. Or each bank comes up with their unique way to send the code via their mobile app. I'd love to see a video addressing this, as scammers already evovled said trojan horse to sneak their way as seemingly "useful" or gimmicky app onto people smartphones, while especially banking tasks are increasingly performed on these seemingly more secure devices. While this assumption is still widely true, that also means, 2-factor auth and banking device are becoming the same thing. But most worrying is the way, banks use easily accessible public record for authentication by phone, which makes even sharing the full birthday a major security issue.

    Did you send your friends the message via whatsapp? That is an end-to-end encrypted service hence without the warning popping up "the encryption key has changed" on your friends' phone (and assuming they trust you) it was granted they'll open the message ;)
    I would've too (a security expert here) unless the key change warning is present.
    A much more representative example would be to send "I barely know them" type friends on facebook the same thing and see how many will self destruct I reckon.

    I once received a dm from a former high school classmate and it contained a link to what looked like my Instagram account. Only my close HS friends followed my account so I was surprised that they knew it. I clicked on the link and the page loaded slow enough for me to notice that the url was not forwarded to Instagram so I was able to go back and close the browser window. I searched Twitter to see if anyone also had the same experience and sure enough it was a hacking/phishing scheme. For assurance, I still changed my password and checked my dm for unrecognized sent messages.

    Fun little story:
    I worked at a Burger King a while ago. It was around 10:30pm and the store received a call:
    Me: BK, how may I help you?
    Scammer: Ah yes, I am with the Utah Money Bureau, and who am I speaking to?
    Me: (my name)
    At this point my immediate thought was "It's 10pm, state and federal agencies don't call past 5, so this is obviously a scam"
    Scammer: Yes, (my name), just who I needed to talk to!
    I also caught that immediately, but I must admit it's quite clever. Knowing the people I work for, they'd probably fall for that lol.
    Anyway, the call unfortunately disconnected so I couldn't find out anything else about the scam.

    is it safe for me to save my passwords to my google account?

      as long as you don't use the same password for your google account itself, and you're sure that you've never revealed that, they should be fine.
      Also make sure you have a password on your computer all the time.
      Better yet, download and use the Bitwarden password manager and keep it away from the cloud, only store it on your computer. It's free, libre and open source, definitely safe for everyone to use.

      I personally DON'T TRUST Google for saving my password, use Free/Paid Password Managers

      I'd take a look at a paid password manager if you're really serious about it.
