Are You Being Recorded?

admin

cyber-securityMy last post spoke about Cyber Attacks. I hope you enjoyed the video.

There was an interesting article about how you can be spied upon from your devices. Here is an excerpt from Wired.com:
How to Keep the NSA From Spying Through Your Webcam

“Sadly, covering your camera still won’t prevent spies, intruders and even web sites and phone apps from surreptitiously turning on the internal microphone on your computer or mobile phone, computer, or VoIP phone and listening in on conversations.

Muting the mic won’t work, since it’s possible for an intruder to unmute it. Your best defense is probably to insert a dummy plug into the microphone jack to prevent sound from being picked up by the internal mic. You can create a dummy plug by simply cutting off the unneeded portion of an old microphone plug. This won’t prevent someone from listening to your conversations when you need the mic, such as when using Skype, but it will at least thwart them from using the microphone on their own without you knowing.”

We are all tied to our devices and the newest technology and their convenience in our lives. HOWEVER, be wise. Take precautions now that you know how vulnerable you are to outside ears, so-to-speak.

John McAfee was on the Alex Jones Channel. He spoke about his free App that you can download to get some protection. You can watch the video below, learn about the App, and find out how you can download it.

Until next time-Stay safe & stay prepared,.

God bless,
John

Cyber Attacks-Opening Pandora’s Box

admin

 

Do you have a a smart refrigerator, smart thermostat, some commonly purchased big screen TVs, etc.? The device may be listening to your conversations or you could be hacked, spied upon, or have your internet or electric come down without warning.

We haven’t had a major cyber attack. However we could, and it could put everyone at risk. It is a very real possibility that we all have to be aware of it now in order to prepare.

There is a gentleman who was interviewed by Larry King. As is brought up in the conversation, we are clueless as to cyber technology and what the capabilities are. One comment, ” If you want to have a private conversation, don’t have it front of your TV.” Wow! They actually do mention a brand name on the video.

The interview is of John McAfee, the tech expert and creator of the McAfee anti-virus program of which we are all familiar. Yes, he is considered by many to be an eccentric and controversial if you watched Dateline. However, he has incredible expertise over many years that gives a candid, unique perspective in the video below of what we are facing now and could face in the future. Watch the video and … be in the know!

Be ready for anything,
John

You Need Survival Assurance

admin

Most people have life insurance, car insurance, business insurance, home insurance, etc. It is time to get Survival Assurance: Food, stored water, books on preparedness, batteries, flashlights, and so much more.

What do you exactly need? Are you at a loss as to where to start? Most people are.

There is a book I cam across that will give you a great start on the basics-Dare to Prepare. It will give you a guideline as to how to ensure you and your family’s security and safety during an emergency.

The government is preparing and telling us to do the same. The book is a wise investment for very little money.

Have a great day,
John
