@@DavidKen878 I found out that tap to wake was the problem because I put a lock that I put on my locker at work on the display and that triggered it to try to face unlock and I did it three times in one day.
Not just that, but the information on how to do these kinds of things is everywhere and in some cases dumbed down to a level of simplicity so that even the “newbiest of newbs” could learn how to do it.
1:43 Means that the hacker is using their equipment while they are on a flight! That's quite brazen- the airlines should have scanners to be able to detect non authorized wifi points as that can also be a safety risk.
The solution the media isn't talking about is wireless carriers making putting up more connectivity. Many more people have phones that use a lot more data now yet wireless carriers are still using access point locations from several years ago
I quit watching when the narrator said that when you get onto one of these bad networks that they can see everything that you’re doing. It really just isn’t true. Most of the communications in your various apps are encrypted. Your email is encrypted, your web browsing is encrypted, your cloud storage is encrypted, and your chatted is encrypted. Yes, there is some truth here but this video is not the place to get it.
Right. The user would have to be tricked into downloading a keylogger or giving access to your device. Some things like session hijacking could happen but mostly the hackers are looking for easy targets. Wealthy to middle class tourists who have little security and no brains.
Only one issue. Some banks and other sensitive websites won't allow a VPN for some reason? This opens people up to this scam! Never connect to your bank unless you're on a wifi connection you absolutely know is safe!! I've had several banks that do this when you contact them they don't care they hate VPNs because your anonymous encrypted.
Some operators don't like VPNs because nefarious users might use them to upload/download illegal content, manage illicit servers and networks, conduct scams and hacks, etc.
@@abetterfuture4787i wouldnt use a vpn logging into a bank for security reasons, i want them to log my ip and device info so that if my account is accessed from a different ip or device it throws up a red flag
What's the difference even if you use your phone it still don't tell where you are. You are probably using a cell tower in another state anyways. Remember a cell connection is a dynamic. Meaning it can change
I just disabled my 'Auto-Join Hot Spot' under my WiFi setting on my smart phones. I never thought about it until this report. Hackers should endure a special kind of punishment. Kind of equivalent to a Soviet style Gulag, perhaps next door to the pedophiles.
Be cautious of EVERYTHING and everybody. We are living in times where scam artists are becoming more technologically advanced and manipulative. Scams are everywhere you go, sometimes it is hard to tell the difference from something genuine and something that is fake. Go with your gut instinct! If something sounds too good to be true, or just doesn't sound, feel, or look right, there's probably something weird going on. Be safe everyone
Wow that is such an old trick, amazing it's still around. 2:30 "Downloading a VPN"? No, you *set* a VPN up. You may have to download an app or not, depending.
Let's be real here, most windows users are not going to have the technical expertise to setup a VPN without a helper app. That being said they could use a travel router which would help protect them.
“First discovered in 2011?” “First became popular?” LOL! No. This has always been an issue. It’s why Apple had to update the iPhone 3G to stop automatically connecting to McDonald’s and AT&T WiFi hotspots around 2008… which was a thoroughly predictable vulnerability.
Seriously refusing the vulnerable security. Serval company’s are playing with my accounts & I still have not fixed identity theft from 2011. Social security, Medicare & local health departments helps criminals by having tantrums & handle up. Seriously right now!
This is why I started being more intentional about using my hotspot. If my phone suddenly shows I lost connection but I still have wifi, it’s time to disconnect and continue elsewhere.
If you only do money transactions over the counter in banks and don’t have cash/finance apps on your phone you can’t be scammed. One of the rare cases where refusing to modernise works for you.
Does using a VPN help at all? Are you gonna give any useful information here, or just chat away? OK, you did add this at the end. Just use a VPN everybody.
Yes as long as you are the one making the hotspot yourself. thats how these "hackers" do it. Suggest putting a password on it before to keep any leechers off your hotspot.
How stereotypical...thanks what if im a evil twin . Why hurt my feelings , arent my feelings as important as stand alone device or a good twin. Sticks and stones can break my bones but names make me sad and pissed and me too!
Data in this case. Public Wi-fi is fine as long as its the estiblishment Wi-fi and not some random in the area. Data is safe as long as its a Data hotspot of someone you know. Don't connect if you don't know.

Safest way to use public wifi is not to use public wifi...EVER!🤨

If you are getting a VPN use a legit one, not a scammers fake VPN
Exactly! There are plenty of fake ones. Even several legit ones have been hacked. Just be careful
Penalties are not stiff enough for crime anymore, the potential of spending 50 years in prison would drastically reduce this from happening.
