#5 is so important. I can't stand it when people refuse to update their system, you need security updates! I care a lot about privacy, significantly more than most people, yet I always stay on top of security updates. There's a reason for this! To anybody reading this, you can easily set your windows PC to only give security updates and not feature updates, if that's your thing. Many tutorials or tools online to do it :D Great video as always!
@@LironSegev In most cases it's because they believe that "updates break things". - user updates operating system - user /vendor does not update application - operating system update results in application no longer functioning. - erroneous conclusion: "the update broke my app, therefore OS updates are bad' [- correct conclusion: 'my app needs an update, and until it gets one it is vulnerable to whatever security concern was just patched it shouldn't be run and should probably be uninstalled for safety. My lazy vendor/end of life software is bad']
I ignore important emails from important people or institutions anyway. (The Internet equivalent of hiding behind the couch when you hear a landlord knock on the door) So ignoring spam is super easy, barely ....
Thanks, Liron, with the click unsubscribe link, I don't click that, if I see it as strange mail, I'll mark it as spam, and/or make a filter in Gmail to automatically delete those emails. All others I do as your video said, as I feel that is just common sense. Take care
common sense I'm afraid isn't that common....its a numbers game: do enough of these and someone will click - its just a matter of time and catching someone who is unfocused. Happens all the time even tot he most tech savvy person.
I'm a proud neo-luddite. My phone has no banking apps or other apps that can purchase things. The only sort of smart thing operating my lights or appliances is me.
Besides having finger/face scans, my phone doesn't use a 4 digit pin for backup. It has an 8 digit alphanumeric password. Further, all the IMPORTANT apps are locked and have to be unlocked the same way as the phone and their backup isn't the password, it is a 4 digit pin. And once opened, if I change screens for something, I have to unlock the bank app for example, to continue where I left off. A little bit of a nuisance/slow down, but well worth it...
My daughter really liked the Google phone review you did. She had been wondering about that specific phone. I'm sending her this video as well because I want her to hear what you just said about setting up the security camera on the guest account. Thanks Liron👽🛸
How do you know the pin for my phone? Thankfully it doesn't matter as I only use it as a phone and texts. It doesn't have email or anything and it rarely leaves home.
For me, any device that I bring into the home, I ask a simple question: does that device need to access my main computer or my NAS or my printer? If the answer is no, and all it needs is internet access then I put it on the other network.
I have Delete me. Anything that protects you these days is important. I'm still using Windows 7 on my main C Drive / PC. No problems so far with Norton 360 protection. Firefox and Opera browser, Malwarebytes and VPN (sometimes). Any problem with that?
looks good -just keep it all updates (am a little worried about windows 7 but many swear it is still fine with security updates...can't comment on that as I havent tried it myself)
I'm curious, why wouldn't you put your smart devices on the dedicated IoT network instead of the guest network? That is also isolated from your main network, no?
Yes. Not of these are just genetic names. Most routers call it a guest network, but this specific one has one called IoT. Either way, all these are just vlans that are separate from your main network.
Yes and no. If the malicious link is known, then it will block it. However what they do is use links that redirect to various sites. As one is flagged, they change the redirection to another one.
Someone keeps trying to login to my outlook from diff Vons or countries and had to change my padd twice in the last 2 weeks but what's weird is I keep getting hundreds of spam! What can I do and why are they doing it?
Huh, i unlock my phone using pin which i got with first cellphone i ever had and it's siemens a50. That pin used to unlock my sim card which is inactive and i am only one who knows it.
I have to comment. If people created a different password for every site, then ain't no one ever getting back to those sites 'cause every one will have forgotten what password they used end of story. There must be a better way. I don't know what it is, but your advice to have a different password for everything is useless advice. To do so means people will have to write this stuff down. Give us something else.
I refuse to use fingerprint readers as a key to _anything._ They have a statistical error rate of around 10%, meaning one time out of ten they won't unlock for you and one time out of ten they'll give access to someone who isn't supposed to have access. I've also found on my friend's Android phone if I tap on the fingerprint icon rapidly, it usually unlocks the phone for me.

100% agree - I don't get the mentality
If you're on Linux, sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade!! Your system and programs will all update to all security fixes.

That’s so true. My school still uses old computers that look like they haven’t been updated in years

I am old school but prefer not to have my banking apps on my phone. Anything that leaves my house and is portable like my phone is a risk in general.
dont use your phone for shopping and/or banking. My phone is for calling only. If you use it for work, get yourself a personal phone.

@@LironSegev That is true - Thanks again
I do the same - if it's unsolicited and marketing, I'll mark as spam.
Great share like always liron 😃
Thank you 👍
@LironSegev you are a blessing to myself and others. I will continue to spread your videos. Thank you sooo much !!!

Spot on, Liron. Nicely done.
Thank you kindly!
I Keep Nothing on my phone, except Phone numbers, Absolutely NO Legal Accounts{IE; Banking, Google, Emails, ETC}🤔☺

amazing - great tech family for the win 😍
@@LironSegev Thanks!
So great and thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the Heads Up!
Remain Vigilant!
Always!
Valuable tips. Thanks....
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing much appreciated 👍
No problem 👍
im always checking for updates weekly. important & optional. anytime I see a update, I'm hitting that update button
good
Another 💎 from your end. 🙏❤️
Appreciate you as always
Excellent, very informative. Have a blessed life thanks.
thanks for being here
Thanks for that!
You bet!

Easiest way to not have money stolen from bank accounts on your phone is to have no money.
Biggest tech mistake to stop making would be miss spelling RUclips titles 😉. Seriously though always like your vids 👍
Good points
thanks
In reference to putting your smart devices on a different network ... what about streaming devices? How vulnerable are they?
For me, any device that I bring into the home, I ask a simple question: does that device need to access my main computer or my NAS or my printer? If the answer is no, and all it needs is internet access then I put it on the other network.

מה הולך לירון?
about the sponsor links, does an adblocker that blocks malicious links can help here?
Yes and no. If the malicious link is known, then it will block it. However what they do is use links that redirect to various sites. As one is flagged, they change the redirection to another one.
Great advice and tips, Liron!
thanks mate!
I know about the unsubscribe, i know i didnt sign up for the site in the first place so no need to unsubscribe.
Exactly
Someone keeps trying to login to my outlook from diff Vons or countries and had to change my padd twice in the last 2 weeks but what's weird is I keep getting hundreds of spam! What can I do and why are they doing it?
The Spectrum/Charter email system does NOTHING to combat spam, you’re on your own.
Always assume you are on your own with these things...
What about secure IoT network? Why just guest networks?
these both will work - any "guest network" will create a vlan that puts those devices out of reach of your main network
Huh, i unlock my phone using pin which i got with first cellphone i ever had and it's siemens a50. That pin used to unlock my sim card which is inactive and i am only one who knows it.
ok 👍
Only idiots use their phone for banking. You might as well carry all your money around as cash.

Keepass is it been spoofed?
In your video you show two sites with identical addresses.
