      I think what is good since Snowden the whole industry put in a lot of effort to get to a point where the effectiveness of the bulk collection the government was doing has been greatly reduced. So much so that some of the newest stuff being worked on (encrypted SNI) is currently being blocked by China, basically because it's to good.

      That is indeed true today. Back in Snowden's years of NSA though (10 years ago and earlier), the NSA was doing it without warrants, even though *technically* it was still required. Thankfully the warrant requirement is much stricter today, especially after what Snowden unveiled. The encryptions also help a lot.

      ​@@snowstrobe Depending on your own security that could actually be safer. Stored passwords/information can't be recorded by keyloggers so every time you check out you have a smaller risk of having your info stolen. Now in case eBay gets breached to the point payment information is outed they got encryptions on the data and the hackers won't have the hash to crack it immediately. In meantime, eBay is obliged to warn you about the extent of the breach so you can block the card before they manage to brute force it. Otherwise, 1 wrong website and you literally type your info unhashed into their logs, your credit card would be maxed before you even notice.

    Stroooong disagree on the anti-virus software at 1:17. This software has full rights for deep access in system functions. Guess which software is a preferred target for hacks and exploits.
    There are so many new individual new viruses each day that it's impossible to effectively scan for them.
    Avoid these Antivir solutions as the snake oil they are! Stick to Windows defender and on-board solutions, keep your stuff up to date. Learn how to use script and adblock, maybe firewalls effectively. Watch what you download. That's the strongest defense you have. Once infected a backup and reinstall is better than any "desinfect" out there.

    The comments on encryption in transport were misleading...just because a site’s URL includes “https” does not necessarily mean that other people cannot read/intercept your traffic between your browser and the website. A notable example of this can be in a business setting where a proxy is set up. Your employer may very well have their proxy certificate installed on your computer such that a website will still show trusted, https, etc, but they are able to decrypt, scan, save, etc all of your traffic, then re-encrypt it and forward it on to the website’s servers.

Because I change my passwords very often for the 40+ accounts I have.

It's really easy and yet complicated for someone else to actually guess the password.
