Welcome NOOBS and I mean that in the most loving way from the bottom of my Security filled heart.

As Technology and the threats to your security continue to advance who can keep up with that.

Your world and life are already complicated enough. So what I would like to do with this blog is try to keep things on a simple everyday user level. I want to try and give you the ability to incorporate some simple security practices and know how to your life that will help protect you.

The browser you use to browse the internet has additional security. The websites you use have different security or security policies. Do you really trust that wifi at the coffee shop or in the mall?

We all think it won't happen to us. We all think were doing it right. We all see the stories in the news about the Hacker groups that are going around and stealing personal information or giving it away. The problem is that not all Hackers tell everyone that they are doing it.

Imagine your self as a 500 piece puzzle. Bad people through publicly available information have 50 pieces. Through the information you have shared across all your online profiles give them another 60. The Hacker groups releasing information can give up another 10-50 pieces. Maybe your online friends profiles are not as secure as yours and shares your information and thats another 15 pieces. (This can happen if your mom did not secure her Facebook page and it shows that your her son or daughter. And maybe she has her maiden name in it as well so childhood friends can find her. Well what question do 75% sites ask for verification for password resets. Whats your mothers Maiden Name?) No, on-line Cyber criminals have nothing better to do. Yes, there are tools that help gather these things. If you know all the little tips and tricks with google search you can actually find a lot of information. Leaking puzzle pieces here and there will add up pretty quick. This will give a pretty good picture to the Cyber criminal that they can either just have an idea what it is and fill in the rest. Or they can just be patient and continue to wait for you to slip up and get the rest. A slip up can just be a website changing its policies and sharing more information by default. Most site just share everything by default and you must go in and manually get them to make you private by sorting through pages of yes and no's to get it where you want it.

I want to make tutorials and videos. I want to keep this updated with news and releases of changes to things to keep you in the know. I want to make a dummies guide so that you can see what is going on and what you can do to provide yourself with as much privacy and protection as feasibly possible.

IF YOU PUT IT ON THE INTERNET ITS NOT PRIVATE. SOMEONE CAN SEE IT OR READ IT OR STEAL IT. NO MATTER WHAT, YOU CANNOT STOP EVERYTHING. MAKE THE BETTER DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT OR ARE WILLING TO SHARE.
