Jesus, Arthur.
They got you again right after the wipe? That is some damn professional work and they clearly had you on their radar.
I have studied a little about Cybersecurity Penetration Testing. It is studying the hackers methods and trying to find loopholes that aren't covered. This gave me insight into how fragile our security is. The truth is that with every layer and App you add to the system, you add 10 potential new security holes. And then there are the most dreaded zero-day-exploits - .On rare occasion hackers might be able to find a security hole within Windows/Apple that the company itself is not aware of. By the way, when an company launches an app to production, before they go live they invite cybersecurity officials to do extensive penetration testing, basically let them try to "hack" the app before the launch so that they can spot something and fix it, before a real hack disaster happens when its live.
Anyway, I'm sure you are tripple secured now and back on your feet.
It's good to have you back.
You really had me worried when you disappeared on facebook.
Warm Greetings,
Nick
Hi Nick, yeah good to be back and very happy to hear from you. You know I needed some time to come to terms with the whole event. Two days after the hack I suddenly had an after affect and became quite sick with shock. We artists are sensitive features you know lol
They hacked my Facebook while I was actually changing my password on Facebook. I could see them doing it and there was nothing I could do. This was a low thing to do in my opinion. I mean OK, steal my crypto but why hack my Facebook, what was there to gain from that?
For sure they had me on their radar and I will be double careful what I say on forums and youtube channels in future. As I say, I am glad it has happened because I have learned much and am extra vigilant with security now. It will be a while before I get my confidence back though. I am so paranoid ha ha.
This is the reason I am so passionate about Internet privacy. Now continue your thought process, and think how teens love to use Snapchat & Pokemon Go apps. With these apps they are continuously exposing their location to the web in real-time. What if some monster was out to harm them? He would need to look no further. But people don't give a damn, the throw their sensitive data at social media apps like it's a contest.
Very very dangerous in my opinion.
I so agree with you Nik. I am constantly reading about internet security now and will try my very best to to keep ahead as much as I can. People are so naive about their online security. I was not naive but I certainly was not as up to date as I am now.
