The worst type of manipulation is one that targets children. And that is the kind of manipulation that Big Tech companies and the Government are doing. Recently, the BBC released an article called “Earth Day: How to talk to your parents about climate change” The start of the article says “You want to go vegan […]

97% of Americans have a device that constantly tracks their location, voice, and video at all times. I’m talking about your cell phone. It’s a surveillance machine. And ever since Edward Snowden’s leaks, it’s common knowledge how dangerous phones are, but still people use them all the time. It’s simple, the convenience and power that […]

Do you remember that old segment in Mad Magazine called Spy vs. Spy? Basically, there are two Spies, a black spy, and a white spy, and they are mortal enemies. The running joke is that each spy is always one step in front of the other one. It is a constant competition of plot twists. […]

It’s been almost 10 years since Edward Snowden leaked information about the US Government spying on its citizens. And I’m sure you remember how shocking that news was. There were always rumors of Government surveillance, but now there was serious proof. Edward Snowden revealed that they tracked people’s phone calls, texts, internet behavior, and that […]

For years, Truckers have been worried about self-driving cars taking their jobs. But after AI’s recent surge in growth, it’s not just truckers that are afraid.

If you are reading this article and you still haven’t covered your webcam, do it now. It’s one of the first tips I tell people when they ask me what they should do to get private. The truth is, there are some really nasty people online. And those people hack webcameras just to spy on […]

Last night I had a great conversation with Ric Ralston, the president of Mic-Lock, about privacy, and we had about 400 people join us live. It was actually a fantastic conversation.

How powerful is your phone number? I’m sure you don’t think about it much, but your phone number is very powerful. If someone gains control of your phone number, they can use it to access your email, bank accounts, social media, and any other online accounts that use your phone number for verification purposes. This […]

Discover Financial Services announced that they’ll be tracking purchases made with their cards at gun stores. Whether you believe in gun control or not, this is a clear example of targeting a group of people based off of their political beliefs. Digital payments provide no privacy. All of your purchases can be tracked. So, what […]

Last year, BMW announced that some luxury features in your car (like seat warmers) require a monthly fee. I know, it sounds like a joke. But sadly, it’s true, and it’s only going to get worse. For example, Ford has just submitted a patent that will allow them to “remotely shut down your radio or […]

We have been blessed in our lives with the amount of freedom we have. Throughout history many people did not share the same freedoms that we do now. But just because we have it, doesn’t mean it will stay. Our freedoms need to be protected. The biggest reason we teach online privacy and security, is […]

What are your first thoughts when you see a post on social media that says something like “This post has been flagged for sharing false information.” Most people would immediately discredit the post and the information it is sharing. In theory, it would be great to have an organization that fact checks everything and makes […]

The US dollar is losing value fast. I’m sure you can see it; everything is getting more expensive. Good luck going to a grocery store and spending less than $100. But this is nothing yet, there are many threats to the USD. Today, I wanted to talk about these threats, and give you some ideas […]

TikTok is controlling the minds of its users. I know, get your tin foil hats ready, this is a bold statement, but I have evidence to back it. TikTok is owned by a Chinese company called Bytedance (yes, the same company that makes “smart” homework lamps that monitor children with built in cameras). TikTok is […]

“Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better” This was Tweeted by the World Economic Forum on December 27th, 2016. And they are still pushing for this future. But what does this really mean? They say, that in 2030, you will no longer own anything, instead you will […]

Have you noticed that it’s practically impossible to buy a “dumb tv” anymore? Many people wouldn’t notice this. They’d just assume it’s better that TV’s have cameras and microphones, because it makes their life more convenient. But the truth is, these big companies are not doing this for user convenience. These features are a backdoor […]

How can you trust anything online in the time of deepfakes, and powerful AI? If you’ve been following AI technology, you’re probably feeling both amazed and concerned at how advanced it‘s getting.

It’s sad to be writing this email, but it’s very prevalent to the world we live in today. What happens when Governments freeze your assets for having opposing viewpoints?

We’ve all heard stories about people becoming overnight crypto millionaires, but how likely is it that you will become one? Not as likely as you’d think. There is a “hype-bubble” around the crypto space, that many people have capitalized on. Crypto can be a dangerous game. And if you are not educated, it’s more likely […]

I wanted to talk to you today about something that is very serious. Being blackmailed is an awful feeling. It makes you feel powerless, because if you don’t do what the blackmailer says, you’re risking your reputation. One of the most common ways that hackers blackmail people is through sexual images and videos captured of […]

Take a look inside your wallet, and count how much physical cash you have inside of it. Is it less then what you had in it 10 years ago? What about 15? Chances are, it’s a lot less. In a Gallup poll, three fifths of consumers said that they used cash only on occasion last […]

As always, if there is a problem, the free market will solve it. So the answer is YES! As you know, phones have turned into surveillance devices that track us, watch us and record us. And Big Tech, governments and hackers use this information against us. There are two sides to this problem, the phone […]

Your email is not safe without end-to-end encryption. Neither are your texts. If you’ve been reading my newsletters or taking my courses I am sure you have run into the term end-to-end encryption before. But maybe you don’t know what it means. First, let me mention, there is a big difference between a service with […]

We are constantly being sold the newest phone, app, and “groundbreaking” technologies that are coming out. But the truth is, do you really need a phone that has a slightly better camera? Do you need another app that tracks your steps and location? It’s easy to say yes, when the applications are free, but they […]

Parents are facing a new dilemma that no parents have ever faced before. The internet. It’s hard to make educated decisions on what’s best for your kid when it comes to something like the internet or social media when you didn’t grow up with it, it’s constantly changing, and worst of all, the fact that […]

Google has gotten caught spying on its users over and over again, and nothing changes. It’s sad, but it’s true. Most people don’t know, or they simply don’t care. But that’s because they don’t understand how dangerous this surveillance really is. I wanted to make this email for one specific reason: to prove that Google […]

I’ve been thinking about a very important subject lately; teaching children about online privacy. This is not an easy subject. Children are being bombarded on every side with countless messages. And just like all of us, they don’t know what they don’t know. So how can you inspire your children to care about privacy? I […]
