In this myth-busting video, we will debunk the three most common cyber security myths. *** 🔔 Subscribe to get the latest content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSZhRxyloC-qzURiOa3vbFQ?sub_confirmation=1 *** Contents of the video: 00:09 I have nothing to hide 00:48 Only naive users get scammed 01:13 I don’t go to dodgy websites, so I’m safe *** Due to the intangible nature of cyberthreats, we often think that they are not real. We also sometimes think that cybercriminals target only high-profile or public people, but not ordinary citizens. Also, we tend to overestimate our cyber awareness, thinking we are too smart to get hacked, but that’s not really true. Myths are exciting, but sometimes it’s better to know the truth. Here are top 3 cybersecurity myths we’ll debunk for you. Myth number one. I have nothing to hide. To debunk this myth, just imagine your digital environment as a physical one. Most likely, you don’t do anything top-secret at home, but you wouldn’t want anyone monitoring your daily activities through a surveillance camera or by peeping through your window. Your online home actually has no walls - internet service providers can monitor your actions. And so can cybercriminals, who can even steal your passwords. What is worse, huge corporations like Facebook or Google profit from your personal data. So even if you have nothing to hide, you definitely have a right to online privacy. Myth number two. Only naive users get scammed. Actually, scammers can fool even high-profile executives and senior professionals. And their techniques are getting more and more sophisticated. Scammers do extensive research to impersonate legitimate employees or representatives. They can also use employees to extract sensitive information. So, random poorly typed emails asking you to transfer some money are not the only scam technique. Criminals sharpen their tools too and can trick you very sneakily. Myth number three. I don’t visit dodgy websites so I’m safe. Well, even a very reliably looking website can be a hacker’s tool. A hacker can also inject malicious scripts into legitimate websites without their owners’ knowledge. Moreover, many of the websites and services we use daily, including Facebook and Google, experienced massive data leaks in the past, so there is a high chance of getting exposed just by having an account on any of the mainstream platforms. Hope these myths will help you to rethink your security practices and make your online time much safer. *** About NordVPN NordVPN is part of Nord Security, an online security company that aims to provide users with all the necessary online security tools.
