Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.03,0:00:13.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also I have a strange\Nfascination of, of exotic scams.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.54,0:00:20.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- Yeah, so unfortunately the attackers
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.52,0:00:21.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are getting more creative.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.84,0:00:23.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, the good news is that
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.73,0:00:26.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,most major, you know,\Nemail platforms for example
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.97,0:00:29.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are automatically blocking\Nall kinds of spam that,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.94,0:00:34.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or scams and spam that you\Nnever see on a regular basis.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.11,0:00:36.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, during the Covid Pandemic,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.84,0:00:40.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Google blocked 18 million\NCovid impersonation
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.26,0:00:41.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,emails per day.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.73,0:00:43.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that is something that never made it
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.59,0:00:45.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to people's inboxes.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.18,0:00:48.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- What is a Covid impersonation email?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.12,0:00:50.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- So unfortunately, one\Nthing to look out for
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.88,0:00:54.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with these scams is folks impersonating
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.03,0:00:56.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what you might think\Nof as a trusted source.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.37,0:01:00.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So maybe a hospital or health organization
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.12,0:01:02.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,reaching out with Covid information,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.55,0:01:05.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kind of trying to beat people\Nin with something timely.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.85,0:01:08.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we do really recommend that folks
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.22,0:01:12.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,go directly to the trusted\Nwebsite of that organization
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.21,0:01:15.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as opposed to clicking into a link
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.15,0:01:16.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that may look a little bit suspicious
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.86,0:01:19.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or may not be something\Nthey were expected to hear.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.29,0:01:24.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another flag is if a\Nemail or a call or a text
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.66,0:01:26.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is really trying to rush you
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.19,0:01:28.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into providing personal information,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.26,0:01:30.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,such as your bank account information,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.12,0:01:32.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your password, or otherwise.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.64,0:01:35.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we, we were seeing trends of attempts
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.01,0:01:37.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to kind of reach out and say, help now or
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.44,0:01:39.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,please send money here.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.18,0:01:41.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We, we are also seeing\Nimpersonation attempts
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.40,0:01:43.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,around special offers.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.32,0:01:46.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, you know, if it\Nlooks too good to be true
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.17,0:01:50.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it probably is, if you're\Nbeing offered free items
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.22,0:01:51.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that are high monetary value,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.78,0:01:54.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but you're being asked\Nto immediately, you know,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.06,0:01:56.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,put your credit card information down
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.25,0:01:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's definitely another\Nred flag to look out for.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.03,0:02:02.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- Wow. It, it is a dangerous world
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.52,0:02:04.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I'm glad there are\Nfolks like you who are,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.86,0:02:06.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are helping keep dragging.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.78,0:02:08.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It feels like it's a\Nnever ending arms race
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.28,0:02:10.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we have to stay vigilant.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.29,0:02:12.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- Definitely. I think\Nthat's our biggest tip
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.27,0:02:14.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to be proactive and definitely
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.94,0:02:17.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,take a bit before clicking\Non something suspicious
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.84,0:02:20.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, and, and verify, you know
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.55,0:02:22.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if there's a, you receive something
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.38,0:02:24.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you think it looks like\Nit's from someone you know
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.57,0:02:26.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or something you're familiar with,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.64,0:02:28.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,go ahead and find another way to confirm
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.71,0:02:30.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that that's actually the case.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.75,0:02:33.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- And always check the link\Nyou're about to click on
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.06,0:02:34.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and before you type in a password,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.89,0:02:38.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think three times are my takeaways.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.79,0:02:40.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And two step verification.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.62,0:02:41.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- Absolutely.
