I'm shocked they didn't mention 2FA for WhatsApp ๐Ÿ™„. I mean, think about it, if hackers can breach your email or phone number, they might be able to get into your social media accounts too... it's all about being one step ahead of the scammers. And what's up with passwords? Creating a strong password is easy peasy โ€“ just use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters, like my secret password ๐Ÿคซ. It's not that hard, folks! We should be taking online security more seriously, I mean, our lives are literally in the hands of these hackers... it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it ๐Ÿ˜ฑ.
 
I'm worried about our elected officials not taking cybersecurity seriously enough ๐Ÿค”. I mean, we've got politicians who are always saying we need to 'stay safe' online, but what's their plan for actually making that happen? It seems like they're more focused on protecting their own interests than the general public's security.

We need to demand better from our leaders, especially when it comes to something as crucial as cybersecurity ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ. We can't just sit back and wait for hackers to steal our info โ€“ we've got to be proactive about protecting ourselves. And that starts with our elected officials taking online security seriously and setting a good example.

It's not just about passwords and phishing scams, it's about the bigger picture โ€“ how we're using technology to shape our society and keep each other safe ๐ŸŒ. We need politicians who understand the importance of online security and are willing to take action to protect us. Anything less is just a lack of leadership ๐Ÿ’ช.
 
OMG, I'm so glad podcasts like this one exist ๐Ÿคฏ! It's crazy to think that people are still getting scammed by hackers and phishing schemes. We need more awareness about online safety, especially when it comes to sharing personal info online. It's like, be careful what you share, right? ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ Major Garrett seems like a super knowledgeable guy who's doing great work in making us all more aware of these issues. I love that he's talking to experts and sharing tips on how to stay safe online. We gotta stay one step ahead of these hackers! ๐Ÿ’ป
 
๐Ÿค” I feel like we need to take online security more seriously as parents, especially with our kids getting older and becoming more active on social media ๐Ÿ“ฑ. It's crazy how quickly these hackers can get a hold of our info and use it against us ๐Ÿ’ธ. I wish they'd have a section on the importance of monitoring our kids' online activity ๐Ÿ‘€, like setting limits on screen time or using parental control software to keep them safe. We need more conversations about this stuff and less "just be careful" advice ๐Ÿ™„. It's not enough! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
 
lol cybersecurity is like trying to protect yourself from your own relatives ๐Ÿคฃ imagine having to change your password for every single aunt/uncle cousin on your family tree... anyway gotta say, being proactive about online security sounds like a no-brainer but I guess some people still need to be told not to share their SSN on Facebook ๐Ÿ˜‚
 
๐Ÿค” I think its wild how fast cyber threats are evolving... like, hackers are getting way smarter at outsmarting people all the time ๐Ÿค–. Its crazy to think about how our online lives are so vulnerable and we need to be always on the lookout for those phishing scams and strong passwords ๐Ÿ‘€. Major Garrett's podcast is super informative btw, he should definitely keep sharing these types of conversations with experts ๐Ÿ’ป.
 
Just had to listen to this podcast thingy about cybercrime ๐Ÿค”. I mean, it's crazy how quickly hackers can get into your stuff these days. It's like they have superpowers or something ๐Ÿ”ฎ. Anyways, what really got me was when Major Garrett talked to the expert about all the new tactics hackers are using. Like, I had no idea phishing scams were so advanced ๐Ÿ“ฆ. And the author of that book is a lifesaver for sure - strong passwords and two-factor authentication are no joke ๐Ÿ’ช. It's crazy how some people still don't take online security seriously enough... like, politicians should really step up their game ๐Ÿค. Overall, I think this podcast was pretty informative and helpful, especially for all the tech newbies out there ๐Ÿ“Š.
 
ugh i just found this thread about it and i have to say its really sad what happened with that ICE shooting ๐Ÿค• like how can u even plan something like that? anyway back to cybercrime... i feel like ppl need 2 be more careful w/ their passwords rn, like dont use the same one everywhere ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ. i know its hard 2 keep track of everything but like, just take a sec 2 reset ur passwords every now & then ๐Ÿ‘
 
Ugh, I'm getting old ๐Ÿคฃ... remember when we used to just use our instincts to protect ourselves from scams? Nowadays it's like trying to solve a puzzle blindfolded while being attacked by bees ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”ช! Cybersecurity is such a thing now, and I don't blame people for feeling overwhelmed. I mean, who even remembers what password they set 5 years ago? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ It's so easy for hackers to get their hands on our info if we're not careful. But you know what the scariest part is? Politicians think they can just ignore it and it'll all go away... like, hello?! We can't even trust them to keep our secrets safe from each other ๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿ’”. Anyways, I guess that's why shows like this are so important - people need to be kept in the loop! ๐Ÿ’ก
 
I'm really glad they're talking about this stuff on podcasts like this ๐Ÿ“ฐ. Cybersecurity is super important now, especially with all the hacking going around and people's info getting stolen left and right ๐Ÿ˜ฑ. It's crazy that politicians are even getting into it too... I mean, you'd think they'd know better, but yeah. What I'm saying is, we need to be super careful online, like create strong passwords and stuff ๐Ÿคฏ. And two-factor authentication is a total game-changer โ€“ trust me, I've had my fair share of phishing scams ๐Ÿ˜‚. It's so easy to get caught up in sharing personal info online, but it's just not worth the risk, you know?
 
OMG I'm totally stressed about this one ๐Ÿคฏ the latest hacking tactics are getting crazy! like who has time to create super strong passwords and do 2 factor auth lol? but seriously though we need to be more aware of our online security especially with all the phishy emails going around ๐Ÿ˜’. Major Garrett is so right, we gotta take control of our digital lives and stay informed about what's going on! ๐Ÿ’ก
 
๐Ÿ˜• this is just so unsettling... i feel like we're living in a world where our private info can be taken away from us in an instant ๐Ÿคฏ and no one's really doing anything about it ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ. cybersecurity needs to be a priority, not just for us as individuals but for all of society ๐ŸŒŽ. politicians need to take responsibility for keeping our online spaces safe too ๐Ÿ’ผ. can't we just have a world where we don't have to worry about getting hacked or having our identities stolen online? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ it's crazy that we even have to think about this stuff ๐Ÿคฏ

๐Ÿค” I think it's really interesting how this podcast is shedding light on the complexities of online security and cyber threats. As we become more reliant on technology to navigate our daily lives, it's essential that we're taking proactive steps to protect ourselves from falling prey to these risks. The author's advice on creating strong passwords and avoiding phishing scams is spot on โ€“ we need to be vigilant about sharing personal data online and being cautious when interacting with unfamiliar websites or services.

The discussion on cybersecurity in politics is also really timely, as it highlights the crucial role that politicians play in shaping our online experiences. By prioritizing online security, policymakers can help create a safer digital landscape for everyone.
