>>> WELCOME BACK. THE END OF MARCH, 66% OF THE
WORK FORCE WORKING REMOTE.
AND THAT'S ONLY EXPECTED TO
INCREASE AS THE MONTHS GO BY.
IT'S A TIME THAT MANY CYBER
CRIMINALS ARE OUT THERE TRYING
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE.
OUR SECURITY EXPERT JOINS US TO
TALK ABOUT THE LATEST THREATS.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
MORE AT HOME TIME MEANS MORE
TIME ONLINE.
TIME ONLINE. AND THAT'S TOUGH ON SECURITY.
>> ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY.
DURING THIS TIME OF THE
PANDEMIC, CRIMINALS ARE TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION.
WE FOUND OF THE 20,000 WEBSITES
CREATED USING COVID OR COVID-19
IN THE NAME, 2% WERE MALICIOUS,
WE'VE SEEN A 2000% INCREASE
SPIKE IN ZOOM NAMES.
SO THE ACTUAL ATTACHMENTS, A
LOT OF PEOPLE SENDING OUT ZOOM
CONFERENCES.
CONFERENCES. WE'RE SEEING THOSE INCREASE
QUITE A BIT AS WELL.
THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF SCAMS
GOING AROUND.
GOING AROUND. AND A LOT OF THEM HYPE AROUND
THE FAKE STIMULUS.
TEXTS, FACEBOOK MESSAGES, YOU
NAME IT.
NAME IT.
NAME IT. BASICALLY PROMISING THAT YOU
HAVE TO FILL OUT THE CENSUS OR
DOWNLOAD THIS ATTACHMENT.
OPEN THIS FILE TO GET YOUR
STIMULUS.
STIMULUS.
STIMULUS. THAT'S ALL FAKE.
TONS OF STUFF OFFERING THINGS
FOR FREE.
FOR FREE.
FOR FREE. SOME COMPANIES ARE OFFERING
THINGS FOR FREE.
AND TRIPS, A FREE NETFLIX ONE
SAYING FREE NETFLIX DURING THE
ENTIRE COVID TIME.
IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING, JUST
TAKES YOUR INFO.
AND THERE'S AN APP SAYING THAT
IT WOULD TELL YOU IF ANYONE
AROUND YOU HAS CORONAVIRUS.
NOBODY HAS THAT INFO AND NOBODY
IS GOING TO PUT IT IN APP FORM.
AND WE THROW AWAY OR
SUPERSTITION OR SECURITY
BECAUSE OF THE FEAR.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT WANT
TO FIND THAT INFORMATION OUT.
AND THEY MAY INPUT THEIR CREDIT
CARD INFO TO SEE IF THEY CAN
FIND IT OUT.
ALL THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THEIR
CREDIT CARD INFORMATION STOLEN.
>> WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE DO TO
PROTECT YOURSELF?
PROTECT YOURSELF? >> ZOOM HAS BEEN IN THE MEDIA.
THEY'VE HAD SOME ISSUES AND
THEY PATCHED A LOT OF THE
ISSUES.
ISSUES.
ISSUES. INITIALLY, THE LINKS WERE
PUBLIC.
PUBLIC.
PUBLIC. SO YOU HAD STUDENTS JOINING IN
THAT WOULD YELL PROFANITIES OR
SHARE GRAPHIC MATERIAL.
AND THEY ADD PASSWORDS.
AND THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. THEY PATCHED THAT BUT YOU HAVE
TO UPDATE ZOOM.
IF YOU'RE USING ZOOM OR HOSTING
SOOM.
SOOM.
SOOM. HAVE A WAITING ROOM TO SCREEN
EVERYONE COMING IN TO MAKE SURE
THAT EVERYONE IS SUPPOSED TO BE
IN THAT MEETING.
AND YOU CAN SET IT UP TO WHERE
ONLY YOU CAN SHARE YOUR SCREEN.
THESE ARE ALL CHANGES THAT YOU
HAVE TO MAKE BEYOND THE
DEFAULT.
DEFAULT.
DEFAULT. THAT'S DEFINITELY WHAT WE
RECOMMEND FOR SURE.
AS FAR AS E-MAILS, ALMOST EVERY
E-MAIL BEING SENT REGARDLESS OF
WHAT THEY ARE SELLING, IS
CAPITALIZING ON COVID-19.
