"Your VPN won't protect you" this is true for those who don't know how to use a VPN and how to seperate their own traffic. Browser isolation will probably not be enough either (if all your network traffic on that device is going through VPN tunnel), your identifiable traffic should NOT go through your VPN tunnel as that can then be associated with your 'anonymous' traffic, which essentially de-anonymises you - this is the main point of failure that newbies aren't aware of.

[@notaras1985]

Teach us master

[@cringesh1t427]

Could you possibly explain how to do that on a phone? Is it turning on incognito and not using our network but rather our lte or wtvr someone may have?

[@JoeBloggs777]

@@cringesh1t427 As an example, you could install something like cyberghost VPN and brave browser and use them together in a isolated way. In VPN app options you select split tunnel, and then select brave browser, so that only that app will go through your VPN tunnel (rather than system wide traffic, which would effectively de-anonymise you through IP association!). Once that is set up, you should only use brave for anonymous usage, i.e. not log into google or facebook etc! I say brave because it has good anti-fingerprinting/tracking features, and cyberghost I know has split tunnel feature.

[@OH2023-cj9if]

Well said, think of a VPN as a method of transport from home to a restaurant. The restaurant staff don't know how you got there, but know who you are!. That's what happens when people use a VPN and log in to accounts. Some will use Tor and log in with real details! Police have run a few VPNs, I found a WeVPN server on the IP range allocated to equipment on the 5th floor of a police station in Manchester UK only months before the company vanished with excuses. I think they had been exposed. Either it was a law enforcement project or a compromised server. All VPNs and companies hosting the servers must provide access to all data by Law in the UK. Not even protonmail is safe as encryption to their emails is added before and after it is stored on their system. That allows police access, also NSA and GCHQ access. It is only secure if you connect up via browser and send to another user on the system. Notice how they NEED phone numbers and emails for account recovery? I suspect the next Encrochat will be a VPN or Proton, maybe Tor - which we know can be deanonymised. Nothing is private now. You have been photographed in your car for 25years and added to a database, the same when out shopping. Your Alexa and phone has even profiled your voice, banks can access voice databases and photo databases to check it's you.

[@adamsymthe5389]

re tik-tok, I had understood the problem not to be that it's collecting data as stated here, but rather that what is collected is shared with the CPR gov't, and can be used to shape and manipulate the information environment of a sizeable portion of the US population. That's why they're not saying shut down Tik-Tok, they're saying sell it to a non-Chinese owned company.

[@BillAnt]

Actually there are ways of shaping the thoughts of the US population by a foreign app provider. They can inject any kind of malicious message at any time or more subtle ones via videos. It's not good idea either way.

This was so interesting to watch, I am just still so puzzled about being anonymous on the web.

Unfortunately many folks are so concerned with surviving and racing around that they have no clue this exists!

[@djand007]

I’d love to hear what you guys think about IEEE specifically 802.15.6 since it basically goes with the neuralink topic. This is the intro extract if you’re unfamiliar; The standard defines short-range, wireless communication in the vicinity of, or inside, an environment such as a human body, vehicle body or both, using the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and narrow-band physical layer (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) to support enhanced dependability in human body area networks (HBAN) in the industrial scientific medical (ISM) bands and local medical regulations. The standard supports quality of service (QoS) and data rates up to 50 Mb/s and incorporates support for vehicle body area networks (VBAN). The standard specifies the coexistence of multiple piconets, including inter-body area network (inter-BAN) interference and inter-piconets interference, simple MAC protocol, and sensing and feedback control loop delay. Definitely worthwhile checking out & while your there you may notice other frequency channels & there uses examples 802.15.4 & 802.15.3 ect… It would be a great show to have it as a 3 tier view point of Rob, OTW & yourself

[@phil2768]

Google and Facebook mainly but also Microsoft and X (Twitter). Banks in UK will give Governments unfettered access to personal account info without any warrant if the amendments to the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill is passed and no doubt it will be fed into AI.

[@dannydetonator]

All European banks have obligation to comply with request of authorities and report amounts over those set in local legislation. Unfortunately money-laundering and tax-evasion has led us to this. Idk how it's done in US or elswhere. On a brighter note, personal data kept by companies is under strongest protection in EU than anywhere else to my knowledge. Truth is, if you want privacy, simply never put your life online on social networks, rest should be out of public reach. We can still be partly anonymous on this platform even with accounts, can't we? Actually nefarious powers (long story) are using this anonymity to attack us as much as own goverments use PII data to monitor and control the law.

[@bitegoatie]

Rob is correct on the privacy front and regarding the misuse of capability. If there is a computing/technological capability available to corporations or intelligence agencies, they will use it, and they will use it in such a way that user/device-owner rights to privacy and, indeed, ownership rights, will be harmed. In hacker terminology, these people want to sell you devices and software and to own those things at the same time. Preferably, they will be able to extract a subscription fee for the privilege of being owned and having your personal data stolen and sold on the open market. Our governments encourage this, to give intelligence agencies and law enforcement the "tools" they need. Never mind that these agencies have long had far more access to data than they need. In exchange for stripping citizens of constitutional rights, tech-illiterate politicians have long given tech companies a blanket regulatory pass on their rapacious surveillance practices. So long, that is, as the key agencies get their "tools" - complete with GUIs for desk jockeys who do not actually hack anything themselves. We need to be aware of all this stuff, in the first instance for our own dignity, but beyond that to change the political culture that has allowed this stuff to go as far as it has gone.

Snowden already warned us about this. It doesn't need to be A.I. controlled. All they need is your phone number, the network you're with, and by proxy the SIM card ID and pin. And then a government hacker can remote control your phone and see browsing history and app use history. And of course, see see all your contacts, messages, social networking, and of course they can get around the encryption of messages from WhatsApp and Messenger as they're viewing it through your phone as if it were a window. What's ironic with all this!? I guess the fact that you get charged on your phone contract for the data they use to stream your phone to them and encrypt the address so to cover themselves. 😂😂😂 xZx

[@MicskiDK]

Rob mentioned, that mobile phones does not need a VPN. Why is that? You sit at an Italian café, you're on their wireless network and the local hacker sits in his van on the same network. Why is VPN not a good idea here?

problem is that the hacker never sits in a van

[@MicskiDK]

@@asdfqwerty5389 @davidbombal It really is a confusing remark by Rob. I've listened to it over and over, like Lt. Columbo would do, but to no avail. Why is VPN on mobile phone not a good idea? He mentioned IPv6, but how would that break the encrypted end-to-end VPN tunnel?

[@OH2023-cj9if]

A VPN is no use, why use WiFi if you have 4G/5G? Sites use HTTPS now, so it really does take someone really clever to spend time messing with your traffic. The WiFi pineapple is not really useful and doesn't do what people think, the same as a Flipper will not enable you to steal cars! I use a VPN to home , wireguard to a Pi with PiVPN and use OpenVPN with a router - only to stop work blocking sites! It also puts me out from my home IP, meaning I can watch TV, share files, use my bank etc. Commercial VPNs are in lawless countries for a reason, so they don't need to protect your data and can sell it knowing you can't do a thing. They all have to supply your data to GCHQ and NSA and police too.

[@OH2023-cj9if]

IPv6 uses a unique ID or address on each device, so this is identifiable anywhere like having a phone number, IMSI or IMEI. Again, it doesn't matter how you reached a site, it knows who you are. With IPv4, you can change the device IDs and not everything is unique.

of course crash protection existed before crash protection strictly speaking they just decided to switch the on switch. The scarry part is that it's one thing for like crash force but strictly speaking it makes sense if you just want to protect the device or alternatively if you want to make sure that the device falls appart after a certain period of time and plan it's obsceleence crash detection is an excellent way to make sure also it can be used as a mechanism to void warrenties en masse been in a crash sudden jolt anything that could "damage" the device or if the sensor had a fault, in each case warrenty void. So it makes alot of sense that this would happen asides that old harddiscs[at-least servers and the likes] already had a form of crash detection that could detect incredibly high G forces in order to extremely abruply enter a protected mode to protect the harddisc while it's been jostled around or moving. [specifically turning off the hard disc and entering a protected mode when outside of it's operating parameters] this goes all the way back into iPod Era.

[@inkbunnybunny]

to be clear it comes from the preipods because first ipads had harddiscs inside of them meaning that the ipod already had a primitive form of crash detection simply to protect the device itself[as hard disc require physical movement] also you can test what i'm saying very easily you can buy portable disc player you can intterupt the physical meachanism by jostling it just enough to trigger it, and depending on how you move it it changes what the motor and other electromechanical controls are opperating[and it's not just gyroscope it specifically isn't working like a gyroscope it will literally dampen or slow down or go "read error" mode and stop writting data.

There is absolutely no way you can cover your tracks. Your data goes from your phone immediately to the Internet provider and that provider keeps track of everything as well. Google and all these other companies also collect every drop of data from your phone. And he is right when they stopped allowing you to take batteries from your phone is the day they started tracking your phone even when it was powered down. Everything you say and everything your camera sees at all times are recorded in the database somewhere.

Honestly, I kind of like google maps tracking me while I drive. If I ever get accused of committing a crime I didn't commit. That gps tracking history might come in handy.

These big companies can collect all the data they want on me. But the moment they sell or use that data to negatively affect my life, they can expect massive exposure and lawsuits from every person that uses there services.

As far as him thinking, the January 6 people would not have been caught. Had they had a D Google phone, is incorrect. Because the phones of the other people will capture video of you and your face is already saved in the Google database and they know exactly who you are. And phones are absolutely everywhere. Cameras are too. Cameras on the stop lights track you as well.

[@Abduselam.m]

So what's the best way to protect online Thanks so much David

[@monkeyseemonkeydo432]

Lol…get a good antivirus and firewall 🤣🤯🤕

[@notjustforhackers4252]

Linux, TOR, Privacy DNS service, Ublock origin, Virtual Machine, immutable OS, open source software. I guess.

Good luck tapping my C64 and VHS recorder to skynet :P

When can we start talking about these topics on a more detailed level? I’m so far ahead of this type of content. I don’t allow syncing of any type, no location services, anonymously browsing, no peripheral permissions, no background apps, uninstall unnecessary programs, disable API’s, modify registry lines, manually install updates, only use windows local accounts, never sign in under Microsoft accounts, use GPS Scramblers, I even run 950nm infrared LED’s on the rear of my car to blind traffic and security cameras….I’m already doing everything you’re suggesting and have been for years. We aren’t simpletons…this man isn’t predicting anything here. I have never worked in IT and somehow “predicted” way beyond what Rob is talking about. Don’t buy his product, anyone can install a custom OS with the information available online. I run a custom windows 10 installation which I created myself and it’s DE-WINDOWED WINDOWS lol. For free.

[@luismiguelsaez6786]

I guess you can understand that there are people out there who find this content interesting. I don't see sciencists commenting on quantum physics videos just to say that this is too basic and we should go deeper ... that would be absurd 😂

Never. Cause of *Backdoors* & NationState *Hackers*

[@michahelhamilton-vf7sd]

Well...People like Me are not worried, nor do I know sh_t about most of the terms He or others use;however, It's the obvious surveillance age topic matter that I could probably have predicted far ahead of you and others who are tech- savvy wizards/knowers. So, BE NICE ya know-it-all(s). P.S. If you're 'driving' that car around AT ALL, the tyrant 'traffic law' can still make all your Constitutional & UNALIABLE HUMAN/Civil 'Rights' go BYE-BYE in a heartbeat...and IMPOUND your car...and SEPERATE you from Family/Friends/food/tech. etc. [maybe take your head off]...and RE-PURPOSE all your better stuff through asset forfeiture. I hope & pray not; but, It never pays to be over-'wise!'. If so...GOOD LUCK.

KZbin ad, a coming up bit, a personal ad read, another KZbin ad. KZbin is becoming insufferable.

[@davidbombal]

Use Brave to stop the adverts :)

[@tjlambaes]

@@davidbombal thanks for the tip. I use Firefox and some plug in on my pc and it stops ads. On phone I use the app. I guess I should stop using the app, the adds on KZbin have gotten so bad.

[@Grzegorz-Brzeczyszczykiewicz3]

Thank you, guys.

[@Mr.baggins7324]

I understand some of the basics of security. My main question is, by teaching people how to be more hidden online, wouldn't this make it harder to catch the distribution of cp?

[@DewaynePine]

i found out from my analytic data that a family app is accessing my phone and data without me knowing about it. they can access ur phone and data without physically handling ur phone.

NEURALINK is hardly Musk's idea.. It was the goal in the award winning game WARZONE 2100 (1999), which after implementing it, put humans in a suit, where they could steer the suit with its mind... (lots of servos in the suit, make you run as fast as a bike)

WiFi already scans human movements and can create a three-dimensional model from it.

[@Tianmix]

Good content, the only thing I don't agree with is that TikTok is dangerous because it's not just about data, it's like embedding a chip in your mind. If you live in the country that produces TikTok, you know what I mean. Google, at least it has some limit by law, TikTok has no limit, and it's the next level.

[@joincryptouk]

I know its only because google was listening for the word google, but as I was watching this my phone started listening to the conversation through my speakers and was visible it was doing it on the screen. I think they are on to you :D, the irony . Jokes aside I have a Pixel and will be using Calyx some point soon when I get time. Thank you for letting us know about this. I was not aware of such OS for pixel phones.

[@cringesh1t427]

What do you mean it was visible? Did Google get activated is what you mean? Sry idk what pixel phones are now how they work tbh

[@joincryptouk]

@@cringesh1t427 My phone screen was off, it came on and google appeared and was listening to the conversation. As if I had called google to listen to me, I'm guessing he said words such as Ok Google to make this happen. Just coincidence.

[@befdayaccounteee44]

This maybe out of context but I bought a domain that can be used as to send invite. Very new domain and not even public yet. I just did a couple test on my own email. Not a day went by and my hosting company contacted me that this corporation wants me to take down the domain as it contains their name and identity. And that I have less that a day before they take it down. I have paid for this domain already, what should I do with it? What are my options here.

Yes, Google and Meta and others are collecting to varying degrees. The problem with ByteDance is that they are under the influence of the CCP. That is the difference. Data rests with a US company vs. a company that is required by law to cooperate with the CCP are two different things. Data privacy is a widespread problem that cannot be fixed all at once. The first step it seems is the CCP affiliated one, the next (hopefully) is the rest of the companies.

Are you from India, or Ukraine or some other heavily indoctrinated conflict region ? Only asking because there's a hint of 'us good, them bad' thing.

[@ferencszabo3504]

I think that Neuralink is a brain debugger port to solve the brain mystery from the inside! It was a B option in the case that the current AI(the mathematics model) will not perform well! But as we see throwing all that data in the machine works pretty well!

I am fairly new to cyber security and info sec although I do have a computing background (many , many years ago). Even as a newbie I love watching your videos & your channel. I’ve learned so much about vulnerabilities, exploits, & hacking tools. This is a great video 😁 I’d love to learn more about backdoors and have been searching here on KZbin. Does anyone know any great video, course or book about back doors? Thanks so much, have a great day everyone 😌
