7 LIES of Security & Privacy (MOST People Still Believe!)

[@HersonJVillatoro]

You’re one of the only channels I’ve seen making online security videos with advice practical to most people. Most other channels on online security I’ve found are way too far into online privacy, anonymity, and security that it’s way too much management and hassle for me. I’ve applied many of the things in your videos so thank you for the content 🙏🏻

[@AllThingsSecured]

Thanks so much!

[@WolfgangsChannel]

Amazing video :) "I use Linux, which is secure by design, so I can't get hacked" is one of my pet peeves

[@AllThingsSecured]

Great point. And thanks so much for popping by the channel, Wolfgang! I'm a fan of your videos. 👍

[@peterkwolek2265]

Excellent video! Solid advice for the average computer user, I especially liked the tip about passwords. I think of a password like a gate or door on a house, yes I can make it incredibly heavy/strong, but if that's all I do, the intruder will break a window instead. (Window being a metaphor for the keylogging you mentioned or other hacking approaches.)

[@peterkwolek2265]

I must confess, I was getting ready to leave a snarky comment but I kicked my inner-narcissist and remembered you're making content for a wide spectrum of viewers, not people with my exact amount of computer experience.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Ha! Well I appreciate the kind comment as opposed to the snarky one. Yes, I have to try to please a wide audience, and it’s not always possible. And I love your analogy. I might steal it 😎

Great video Josh. Good content.

Really appreciate it, Sean 🙏

Thanks sir, I like your content to be honest to the viewers about digital ages

5 seconds in and I love the video already 😀

Ha! Glad to hear it. :)

Thank you.

[@AllThingsSecured]

You're welcome!

[@benf101]

When you set up TOTP 2FA, they give you 5-10 lockout codes, which means the time-based passwords are just a distraction because all the while you have 5-10 static passwords. How can it be any better than just a long password?

[@andi_search]

Give Andi Search a try! Search is broken, and we're fixing it!

Muchas por sus video son de gran utilidad saludos y mi Like

[@federicostanca2409]

I don't quite understand what is the advantage of using yubikey at 2fa it over a normal app. If I lose the phone, they have access to my normal application, but if I lose the yubikey they also have access to my codes. Could you tell me? Thank you

[@PapaBerto]

It's simple. If you lose the phone, you can sign in to your accounts and remove it as a trusted device. If you lose the key, you should have either backup codes or even a second usb key stored away in the unlikely event that happens.

[@speedracer9132]

Do you have a video that particular explains the dangers of using your real name online?

[@SplitSniper7]

Are there good security practices people can use with their phones? I feel like a phone is probably the go-to source when browsing the internet and using various apps for convenience. Also, regarding using pseudonyms, how do you know when it's appropriate to use one? Does my streaming service need my actual name or Amazon?

[@AllThingsSecured]

Unless it’s a government agency, they likely don’t need your real name, real phone number and (often) real home address.

[@David-k8p8g]

What two factor authentication App do you personally use?

[@kawaiihikari0]

Pretty sure NSA is an exception if worlds most malicious hackers get caught you and I aren’t the exception

[@pedroblanco8311]

Hi Josh, thanks for keeping us up to date on security. Would you be nice enough to turn on the Latin American Spanish subtitle option? Thanks for your consideration.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Done! My apologies for not doing it sooner, Pedro.

[@pedroblanco8311]

[@venus7133]

I googled myself and only one thing with not much info abt me popped up. its probably bc im young so they havent had much time to collect data abt me

[@AllThingsSecured]

I bet I could find more 😎😆

[@agray8109]

Why when I go to the "videos" tab of your home page, there is zero content? 🤔

[@AllThingsSecured]

Nope, it’s all there.

@@AllThingsSecured It is there, now, but for some reason, at that time, it wasn't linking and showed "no content". I tried multiple times.... strange.

[@garylambe1187]

Hey, do you have any recommendations for people living in the UK. UK based companies that do the same things.

[@MsArinay-]

What would you recommend for small businesses? One email account, multiple aliases, or 2 to 3 accounts with a couple of aliases each? Would you use aliases for bank accounts? Are they both equally secured or/and it only depends on preference?

[@patcostello3882]

So in your opinion what is the best server? I use Firefox with a DuckDuckGo extension....... And a Malwarebytes extension as well...

[@AllThingsSecured]

That can work, for sure. My point is that it depends a lot on your threat model as well as the habits you create.

[@Bill_Sawyer]

Josh. I have a question about Delete me. Do you think that it is necessary to keep Delete me service for more than a few years? Also I enjoy all your videos. Thanks

[@AllThingsSecured]

I’ve only been using it for a year, but so far my data keeps being scraped and added to more databases every month, so I’m planning to keep the service running.

So, how do we know “you’re” not lying to us-?! And, “half-lies” are basically where you cannot believe ‘εithεr’, because you don’t know ‘ωhich is ωhat’-?! So, how do we know “you’re” not lying to us-?! And, “half-lies” are basically where you cannot believe ‘εithεr’, because you don’t know ‘ωhich is ωhat’-?! In my philosophy courses, I taught a “Chinese Finger-Trap” method of getting out of jury-duty: after the brief introductory class, you’re sworn in to ‘’tell the Truth.’’ At that point, you state out loud, “I always lie,” and if the judge or bailiff had ever taken my course, s/he would tell you, you could go home right then. Why-?, …think about it. {;~)

[@AllThingsSecured]

I appreciate the thoughts here.

Nice super

If there wasn't good enough security for free wifi people wouldn't use it Not to say there isn't unsecure free wifi

[@AllThingsSecured]

I'm not sure I follow your logic in that last line. Can you explain?

[@JackOW3]

@@AllThingsSecured that if something says free WiFi it could mean free wifi not free WiFi with good security

to ACTUALLY TEST*********** 1. torrent something like movie RINGO or "the loan ranger" when they first came out[they have the people to come after you and they will] 2.internet stays on 2a. when you call your ISP they haven't got anything "on file". "did you download "big buttz 67" on 2/23/2022 at 10:30 pm" 3. you're vpn says nothing and doesn't give u crap. i don't want to hear the words dmca or lawyer come from their mouths. they should have the "even if i knew i wouldn't tell you and you aren't going to force me to do ****: now pi&&-off!" attitude.
