Keep it Clean

I cannot be bothered to delete Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) data recently so if you dig deep enough you’ll know when and where I took this image and on what device.

Cyber Crime, Cyber Bullies, Cyber Idiots…….and now Cyber Clean.

I saw this on a friend’s shelf and was sniggering for ages, marketing people enjoying the Cyber-hype.

Stick the word “Cyber” on everything

The product itself is pretty cool and basically a keyboard and device cleaner that works.

We are safe and clean

….….for now.

Available from JOKER in Hong Hong…honest I’m not making this stuff up.

No, No, No Way

Outside the InfoSec community and Paranoid conspiracy addicts, I seldom come across individuals who routinely check themselves to see how open they are to attacks.

Handy Hacker toolkits always include

Ransomware
Phishing Vulnerability
“New to YouTube" Vulnerability
Bot Infection
Browser Attack
Anonymizer Usage (hide yourself tools)
Data leakage 
(on purpose or by sheer end-user stupidity)

In the meantime, while everyone is debating the impact of leaving Europe, the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 is filtering down to individuals as it’s now a  tool for “lawful” interception of data.

So now you gotta look out for the bad guys, the marketing people AND Big Brother.

Solution: Encrypt EVERYTHING

Things just got Real…gonna go take my some Diphenhydramine so I can catch at least 6 hours deep sleep tonight.
