Title: KT's Cyber Security Thread
Post by: KT 💣 KλBoƠM on October 14, 2023, 06:32:24 am: You know I hate scammers. I have had honey traps for scammers and have reported and shut down sites and servers of scammers. But I realized I had never made a thread about security stuff. I thought this would be good for sharing security tips not just by myself but from websites or any of you other members who want to add good online practices, known scam warnings (online shops, fake antivirus sites & programs, Trojan, other malware, social engineering), and password tips, etc.

Also, different types of scammers are usually from different countries depending on the scam, but that does not mean they are all from a certain country and not from another. There are good people in the same countries scammers are in. Typically, the majority of Tech Scams and Refund Scams are from India and Romance Scams and Prize Winning Scams (419) are from Nigeria or other countries in the continent of Africa.

More videos I wanted to share. I don't know if anyone else will find this interesting but I have a huge passion for security and could watch these type of videos all day.

Ya I know right? :) lol

If you and Dave can post about your love of computer hardware it only makes sense that I would post about my love of cyber security :)

This guy was certainly personally opinionated about his browser choices. Most of them I would never use. And others I've never heard of. But nice to see what a few of them have to offer. I personally use Firefox and Edge. Both are heavily modded though. I do agree that it is a pain to have to manually setup any of these browsers to your likings. But then again, I don't reformat my system every month either.

Post by: KT 💣 KλBoƠM on November 16, 2023, 12:08:10 pm: Ya I always mod. I have always liked to make what I use as I like it instead of how they thought I would use it.

A good read with a lot of good information. I have been following Troy for over a decade now.

Post by: KT 💣 KλBoƠM on March 03, 2024, 01:03:29 am: Ya I feel is Google or YouTube are pushing ads even MORE than ever before then they NEED to be on top of the scam ones to not let people fall victim to them. The whole reason I have my parents use AdBlock programs is for the sole purpose of protecting them from falling for scams and scareware and fake alerts.

Post by: Sandman[SA] on March 06, 2024, 01:26:27 am: I got a little different info. For cover your tracks, my FF says it's strong and says it's 64-bit. But Edge says it's weak on ads and trackers and strong on fingerprinting. But thinks it's 32-bit when the browser is using the 64-bit version..

The privacy one thinks I'm using a 32-bit laptop. I guess it can see my battery backup?
