>>> WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE. TODAY IS DATA PRIVACY DAY.
WITH MORE AND MORE OF OUR
PERSONAL DATA BEING STORED
ONLINE, WE THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE
THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE
SIMPLE TIPS TO KEEP YOUR
INFORMATION SAFE.
INFORMATION SAFE. HERE TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN FOR
US, TECH CONTRIBUTOR CARA KNEER.
I THINK I SAY DAT-A WHEN I WANT
TO BY FANCY.
DATE-A WHEN I'M WITH THE PEOPLE.
WHAT'S EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE?
DATE-A.
DATE-A.
DATE-A. WE NEED TO KEEP THAT STUFF SAFE.
THAT'S WHAT MY FRIEND CARA IS
HELPING ME DO.
HELPING ME GET SAFE AND SECURE
ONLINE.
ONLINE.
ONLINE. >> WHEN I USED TO DO TECH EDGE,
THERE WAS A GUY WHO WAS A
SECURITY MINDED INDIVIDUAL.
HE DIDN'T TRUST ANYONE OR
ANYTHING AND HE MADE SURE THAT
WE WERE PROPERLY TAKEN CARE OF
AND THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO
FOR YOU RIGHT NOW TOO.
THE FIRST ONE IS, AND SOME OF
THESE YOU MAY HAVE HEARD BEFORE,
BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO REFRESH
OUR MEMORIES.
OUR MEMORIES. NEVER USE UNSECURED WI-FI.
MAKE SURE YOU ONLY CONNECT TO
TRUSTED NETWORKS AND THE
AUTOCONNECT FEATURE ON YOUR
PHONE IS DISABLED SO YOU AREN'T
UNKNOWINGLY CONNECTING TO PUBLIC
WI-FIS WHEREVER YOU GO.
THAT'S UNDER SETTINGS.
YOU CAN SET IT SO YOU DON'T
AUTOMATICALLY PICK UP A WI-FI
SIGNAL WHEN YOU WALK INTO A
PLACE.
PLACE.
PLACE. >>
PLACE. >> OH, RIGHT.
I NEED TO CHECK THAT.
>> THERE'S LITTLE THINGS YOU
CAN DO THAT WILL KEEP YOU
IMMENSELY SAFER.
IMMENSELY SAFER. >> TRENT GOT US HOOKED ON "YOU"
ON NETFLIX.
ON NETFLIX. THIS MAN WHO GRABS HIS PHONE, HE
WAS ABLE TO GET IN BECAUSE SHE
DIDN'T LOCK HER PHONE.
I THOUGHT YOU'RE FORCED TO GIVE
A CODE TO LOCK YOUR PHONE IN
THIS DAY AND AGE?
>> I DON'T THINK SO.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOCK IT.
>> I DID NOT REALIZE IT.
LET ME TELL YOU, FOLKS.
ESPECIALLY AFTER THAT SHOW AND
NOW THIS SEGMENT, YOU NEED TO DO
IT.
IT.
IT. I
IT. I KNOW IT TAKES ONE SECOND.
INTERESTING.
INTERESTING. I THOUGHT YOU STILL HAD TO DO
IT.
IT.
IT. >>
IT. >> IT
IT. >> IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
I THINK A LOT OF TIMES TOO, YOU
GET THESE NEW PHONES AND YOU
THINK OH, THEY'RE JUST GOING TO
KIND OF TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES
OR IT WON'T HAPPEN TO ME OR THIS
IS ALREADY AUTOMATICALLY
PROTECTS IT BUT YOU HAVE TO
PUT -- YOU HAVE TO CHECK THE
SAFETY MARK BOXES.
WHERE YOU GET YOUR PHONE, ASK
THEM IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE
SETTING IT UP.
>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
>> OR YOUTUBE IT.
THIS NEXT ONE, I DO THIS OFTEN.
CHECK BANK AND CREDIT CARD
STATEMENTS REGULARLY.
STATEMENTS REGULARLY. WHEN YOU SPOT ANYTHING
QUESTIONABLE, CONTACT THE
ORGANIZATION TO STOP PAYMENT ON
THE PURCHASE AND CANCEL YOUR
CARD.
CARD.
CARD. IN
CARD. IN THE SAME VEIN, CHECK YOUR
CREDIT REPORT AT LEAST ANNUALLY.
I DON'T KNOW IF I CHECK IT
ANNUALLY BUT I DID HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING WITH MY CREDIT
RECENTLY AND I REALIZED I HAD
FROZEN ALL MY ACCOUNTS WHEN
THERE WAS THAT HUGE DATA BREACH.
SO IT'S OKAY TO KEEP YOUR CARDS
FROZEN BUT IF YOU DO, YOU WANT
TO PURCHASE A CAR OR HOUSE, YOU
HAVE TO GET IT LIFTED.
IT DOESN'T HURT YOUR CREDIT
SCORE WHILE YOU FREEZE A CARD.
>> ONE THING I KNOW, BECAUSE I
WAS PAYING X AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR
EXPERIAN.
EXPERIAN.
EXPERIAN. I WAS AOL'S LONGEST PAYING
MEMBER TILL SOMEBODY SAID YOU
KNOW THEY CAN DO THAT FOR FREE
NOW.
NOW.
NOW. LITERALLY, I PAY $20 A MONTH.
>> IT'S FINE.
>> I WAS DOING THE SAME THING
WITH EXERIAN.
WITH EXERIAN. CERTAIN CARDS GIVE YOU YOUR FREE
CREDIT SCORE.
CREDIT SCORE. IT'S IMPORTANT TO CHECK.
I LOOKED THE OTHER DAY.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS
IN QUESTION OR IF THERE IS, THEN
YOU CAN HURRY UP AND MAKE A
CHANGE OR CONTEST IT BEFORE YOU
HAVE TO MAKE A BIG PURCHASE.
>> CREDIT CARD COMPANIES ARE
USUALLY PRETTY ACCOMMODATING TO
HELP YOU DISPUTE A CHARGE YOU
MIGHT NOT RECOGNIZE.
ALSO WHAT HAPPENS TO ME IS I'LL
CALL AND BE LIKE WHAT IS THIS
$199 CHARGE?
$199 CHARGE? THAT'S FROM NORDSTROM.
OH, THAT PROBABLY WAS ME.
>> STOP USING YOUR STORE CARD.
TOTALLY OTHER SUBJECT.
>> THIS IS JUST PUBLIC SERVICE
ANNOUNCEMENT.
ANNOUNCEMENT. THAT'S FREE.
THAT'S FREE. THE NEXT ONE IS KEEP SOFTWARE UP
TO DATE.
TO DATE.
TO DATE. OUT OF DATE SOFTWARE IS MORE
VULNERABLE TO HACKERS.
WHEN YOU GET ON YOUR PHONE OR
COMPUTER AND IT GIVES YOU THAT
ALERT THAT YOU HAVEN'T BACKED UP
YOUR INFORMATION, I KNOW WE
ALWAYS GET A LITTLE NERVOUS
BECAUSE WE FEEL LIKE IT'S GOING
TO CHANGE ALL OUR SETTINGS AND
WE'LL BEFERRING FRUSTRATED BUT
DO IT.
DO IT.
DO IT. GOT TO DO IT.
>> NEVER GIVE PERSONAL INFO
OVER THE PHONE, BY E-MAIL, OR
TEXT.
TEXT.
TEXT. THERE'S A LOT OF ROBO CALLS, A
LOT OF PEOPLE SCAMMING PEOPLE.
BUY A PHONE.
BUY AN E-MAIL.
I'VE GOTTEN A FEW OF THEM.
I GOT ONE THAT SAID SOMEBODY I
KNEW WAS IN MEXICO AND NEEDED
MONEY.
MONEY.
MONEY. I'M LIKE, SHE FOR SURE WOULDN'T
BE CALLING ME.
IF THE IRS NEEDS TO GET AHOLD OF
YOU FOR SOMETHING, A LOT OF
TIMES BILL COLLECTORS WILL CALL
AND BE LIKE, DO I HAVE THAT?
MOST TIMES THEY WON'T DO IT
THROUGH A SKETCHY VOICEMAIL.
PHONE COMPANIES ARE GETTING
BETTER WHEN YOU HAVE A POSSIBLE
FRAUD, IT WILL SAY.
THAT'S KIND OF NICE BUT THAT
DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN SO BEWARE
OF THAT.
OF THAT.
OF THAT. THIS NEXT ONE IS INTERESTING.
BEWARE OF ONLINE QUIZZES.
MAYBE DON'T TAKE THOSE.
ONES THAT ASK ABOUT YOUR
CHILDHOOD PETS OR STREET NAME,
FAVORITE FOODS, PARENTS' NAMES,
THESE ARE LIKELY TO COVER FOR
PEOPLE TRYING TO ACCESS YOUR
DATA BOY ASKING COMMON SECURITY
QUESTIONS.
QUESTIONS. DID YOU GUYS SEE THIS VIRAL
THING ON TWITTER WHERE THIS GUY
SAID HE WAS MESSAGING WITH A
WOMAN ON A DATING APP AND SHE
WAS LIKE, WHAT'S YOUR MOM'S
MAIDEN NAME.
MAIDEN NAME. I JUST WANT TO GET TO KNOW YOU
BETTER.
BETTER.
BETTER. AND HE WAS TELLING HER.
SHE'S LIKE, WHAT WAS YOUR
FAVORITE PET?
FAVORITE PET? >> HE WAS LIKE, THIS GIRL
GHOSTED ME AND POSTED IT ON
TWITTER.
TWITTER.
TWITTER. AND EVERYBODY WAS TOTALLY
ROASTING HIM.
ROASTING HIM. THEY'RE LOOK DUDE, SHE WAS A
SCAMMER.
SCAMMER.
SCAMMER. >> DEAD GIVEAWAY.
WHAT IS YOUR MOM'S MAIDEN NAME?
EVEN IF FOR A MINUTE I WAS
SUCKED IN TO A POTENTIAL NEW
PASSIONATE RELATIONSHIP, I WOULD
STILL SAY SHE'S GOING TO DO SOME
WEIRD DEEP DIVE ON MY WHOLE
PAST.
PAST.
PAST. I
PAST. I MEAN, COME ON.
>> WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE
TEACHER?
TEACHER?
TEACHER? HE'S LIKE -- SHE WAS SO
INTERESTED IN MY LIFE.
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
YOUR FIRST PROM DATE.
OUR YOUR STRIPPER NAME.
EXCUSE ME.
EXCUSE ME. THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S RIGHT. YOUR STREET NAME.
AND YOUR FIRST CHILDHOOD
PET.
PET.
PET. >>
PET. >> IN WHAT ORDER?
>> MINE WOULD HAVE BEEN --
>> IT'S YOUR MIDDLE NAME AND
FIRST STREET.
FIRST STREET. DIANNE GARRISON IS MY STRIPPER
NAME.
NAME.
NAME. I
NAME. I LIKE IT.
>> MICHELLE IS LIKE NO.
YOU JUST TOLD KNAERFB.
THAT'S NOT IT.
>> THE NEXT ONE IS USE HARD
PASSWORDS.
PASSWORDS. ALSO STAY AWAY FROM PERSONAL
IDENTIFIERS SUCH AS YOUR
BIRTHDAY, STREET NAME.
GOOD IDEA TO HAVE A DIFFERENT
PASSWORD FOR EVERYTHING.
IMPOSSIBLE TO REMEMBER BUT
ESPECIALLY YOUR BANK, GMAIL, AND
OTHER SENSITIVE ACCOUNTS.
KEEP THOSE SAFELY GUARDED.
>> I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ANDROID
DEVICES BUT I KNOW STARTING -- I
DON'T KNOW HOW LONG AGO OR WHICH
APPLE PHONE I HAD, MAYBE THE 6
OR 7 AT THAT POINT, WHERE IT
INCENTIVIZES YOU TO SAVE THAT
PASSWORD.
PASSWORD.
PASSWORD. IT'S SAFE AND SECURE IN YOUR
SETTINGS WHICH IS A LIFE SAVER
IF YOU'RE ALSO USING DIFFERENT
THINGS ON YOUR LAPTOP OR
DESKTOP.
DESKTOP.
DESKTOP. >> TRUE.
>> TRUE.
>> TRUE. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY NUMBER
SEVEN, NEVER SAVE PASSWORDS ON
YOUR DEVICE.
YOUR DEVICE. IT'S PROBABLY THREE PAGES LONG.
>> IN NOTES?
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. HE HAS IT IN HIS NOTES SETTINGS.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD
IDEA.
IDEA.
IDEA. AND
IDEA. AND IT'S NOT.
>> ISN'T THAT WHAT IT'S THERE
FOR?
FOR?
FOR? I
FOR? I CAN'T SPEAK FOR LEE.
PASSWORDS AND SETTINGS.
>> I THINK THAT'S OKAY.
I THINK PHYSICALLY WRITING IT
OUT IN NOTES LIKE MY BRILLIANT
HUSBAND, THAT'S BAD.
>> I'M TOTALLY KIDDING WITH
YA'LL.
YA'LL.
YA'LL. I
YA'LL. I WOULD NEVER PUT THAT IN
PASSWORDS.
PASSWORDS. >> SHE JUST THREW HER PHONE IN
THE TRASH.
THE TRASH. NO, SHE DIDN'T.
BE SAFE OUT THERE, PEOPLE.
>> CARA, THAT WAS GOOD.
I WANT TRENT TO POST THAT
BECAUSE I THINK IT'S SO
IMPORTANT AND OF COURSE ALSO
WITH OUR CHILDREN AND
