We’ve just moved my son into the dorms and he’s very excited about this new chapter in his life. He’s also not very security conscious and we’re worried his PC will get malware or he’ll have his bank info stolen. What are your best recommendations to help him stay secure while online?
Love taking your computer or tablet to the local coffee shop and checking your email or going the occasional online task with their fast Internet connection? Me too. But the problem is that you have no idea who might be monitoring that connection. How can you protect yourself?
Dave, help! I just got an email that says I’ve purchased a MacBook Pro and that they’ve already charged me half the cost. The number to call if there’s a problem is weird, though, so can you tell me what’s going on? I’m afraid it’s a scam…
I run 1Password on my Mac system and when I get to a new Web site, I’d like to be able to easily get a highly secure password suggestion. I assume 1Password can do that, but how do I actually get to the password suggestion tool in the program?
I have a friend who seems to be able to log in to a lot of my paid apps and would like to prevent him from utilizing my NordVPN account. Can I set up two-factor authentication or similar?
Just got an email that I’m a bit suspicious about, Dave. The subject is “$500 Venmo balance needs confirmation.” Normally I would ignore these, but Gmail is saying this one’s from a trusted sender. So is it legit?
Even today, many of us are still using the same password to access multiple sites. What’s more, we also plug personal gear into work networks. Despite the steady rise in cybercrime, we also still heavily rely on browser-managed passwords. But is it a good idea?
I’m skeptical: I received an SMS text message from an unknown number saying that I’d come in 2nd for an Amazon raffle for a free pair of Apple AirPods. Nice, but… what? How can I tell if it’s legit or a scam, Dave?
