I never get hacked. But all of the companies that have my data get hacked.

One problem is low security sites insisting on high security passwords.

Network Admin here...  if you make password requirements to strict, users will write it on a post it and put it on their monitor.  Too much security equals less secure.

I don't answer calls. That stops a lot of scams.

The biggest obstacle to good password security are the sites themselves with their stupid password requirements.

The only person a fucking password ever keeps out of MY ACCOUNTS is me.

I finished a maybe 6 hour employer-mandated course on cyber security today. This clip is more relevant than all of that stuff.

Most passwords are found due to hacked database. Not by someone cracking your password 😂. This is very true

Rob, I'm fairly new to your channel, but the thing I really enjoy aside from the outstanding education on privacy, is your iconic phrase, " Stay...right there!"  It always tells me that I'm in the right place, with known and trusted people.   I hope you never change it!  Thanks for the reassurance about privacy - Terry
