As I am learning more and more about Cybersecurity and working towards my certificates and eventually a degree, Here's a helpful tip for everyone: 1. Please be sure to always change your passwords every month or so Reason: Incase of a data breach from social media websites, to even services you use yourself, it is in your best interest to be sure no one including a threat actor has access to your account. 2. Whenever it comes down to websurfing, please be sure to use a VPN! For iPhone users, if you pay for additional storage on iCloud please be sure to click on settings, click Apple ID, iCloud, then scroll till you see iCloud Private Relay. Be sure to turn this on. This is another layer of protection against you and threat actors, data brokers, etc. Your privacy matters. For andriods, I recommend HotSpot Shield VPN, you will have to setup a premium account with them inorder to use their VPN but they have the fast, affordable prices, and even better, very good and quick responding customer service. 3. Lastly, it is important that you understand there are fake Google Captcha websites out there that are after you specifically, they use a specific tactic to have you hit "Allow" to get through to a website that you are interested in going to. Do NOT hit allow. Hitting allow will allow them to send you notifications on your PC and constantly spam your pc with those annoying pop up ads saying your PC is infected download a anti virus software now. Majority of those ads are just trying to get your PC infected with malware and cause you to give information such as credit card info, passwords, accounts, and more. Google Captcha will never ask you to hit "Allow" inorder to proceed to a website. This is fake and dangerous. 4. Lastly, be sure to use a service such as Guard.io that constantly scan your info on the darkweb to see if any data breaches happened without your knowledge and exactly what passwords and other information were in the breach. I hope this helped anyone out there that needs it. If you're a company please reach out I would love to have the opportunity to join a company and become an asset. Thank you for your time. Have a blessed day!

"Free WiFi" can be quite dangerous... Check the video for more. Sometimes hackers could name their WiFi exactly as yours. Turning off the setting that lets you auto connect to your WiFi on your devices might help me avoid that trap . Also don't just connect to any free WiFi you find, that's a form of "digital promiscuity"😅 Feel free to ask me about our IT services. Share this with a friend or 2. #thebillway #tech #ITsecurity

End-of-Life (EOL) Devices: The Hidden Threat to Your Data Security In today’s digital world, we rely on devices like NAS systems for storing important files. But did you know that when a device reaches its End-of-Life (EOL), it becomes a security risk? Manufacturers stop issuing updates and patches, leaving your devices vulnerable to cyberattacks. An example is D-Link NAS devices, which have a critical vulnerability (CVE-2024-3273), allowing remote attackers to control the system and steal data. If you're using an outdated device, it's time to upgrade to avoid these hidden risks. Be proactive about your tech and avoid falling victim to preventable breaches. Stay aware, stay secure!
