Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: If you've got KARC the talk station Friday. I love
- 0:04Speaker 1: this time of week Tech Friday with Dave Hatter. Such
- 0:06Speaker 1: an important segment on my program. He's doing a public
- 0:09Speaker 1: service and you know what interest it sponsors this segment
- 0:13Speaker 1: providing all this wonderful information and yeah, an ad campaign,
- 0:16Speaker 1: but it's working there. The best business courtier says, listen
- 0:19Speaker 1: for you businesses out there. Everybody's got computers. If you
- 0:22Speaker 1: need computer assistants, best practices get you out of a jam,
- 0:25Speaker 1: solving your problems in trust dot com. They're the best
- 0:29Speaker 1: game in the business. And God bless you Dave Hatter
- 0:31Speaker 1: for doing that and coming on the program and saving
- 0:33Speaker 1: us from ourselves. Welcome back, my friend, Happy Friday.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Thanks Brian.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Always good to be here, and as I always like
- 0:40Speaker 3: to say, hopefully we're doing some good out there.
- 0:42Speaker 1: You are. People can choose to disregard you, man, but
- 0:45Speaker 1: they do it at their own peril. Real quick here,
- 0:47Speaker 1: Dick Durbin, Dick got it was a victim of AI
- 0:51Speaker 1: making himself look like an idiot. He pulled up a
- 0:54Speaker 1: doctored AI doctored photo of the Alex preddy man who
- 0:58Speaker 1: got shot by Border patrol agents. Whoops, Oh yeah, there
- 1:02Speaker 1: is no head on that agent. It was an enhanced
- 1:05Speaker 1: image from a very greeny video footage that looks crystal
- 1:08Speaker 1: clear like I got taken with a high def camera,
- 1:10Speaker 1: and he thought it was wise to bring that one
- 1:12Speaker 1: out to show how bad the agent's acted. And of
- 1:15Speaker 1: course it was a source of much embarrassment. I'm sure
- 1:18Speaker 1: somebody lost their job over sending Dick out into the
- 1:20Speaker 1: world to that photo. But that's an example of artificial intelligence,
- 1:24Speaker 1: not that it has anything to do with the first
- 1:25Speaker 1: topic AI image geolocation. What is that and why is
- 1:29Speaker 1: it now easier than before?
- 1:30Speaker 3: Dave Hatter so Brian in the past talked about metadata
- 1:35Speaker 3: and in particular EXF data in photos. Most modern cameras,
- 1:40Speaker 3: probably every modern digital camera, I can't say for sure every,
- 1:43Speaker 3: but most have the capability to stamp data. Metadata data
- 1:49Speaker 3: you don't see into a picture. So behind the scenes
- 1:51Speaker 3: in your photos there's data that would tell you, like
- 1:54Speaker 3: the GPS coordinates where it was taken, and various other
- 1:57Speaker 3: data that describes the picture. When you hear nerd like
- 2:00Speaker 3: me say, metadata, metadata is essentially data that describes other data.
- 2:05Speaker 3: So if you've ever dug into like a word file
- 2:08Speaker 3: or an Excel document, there's metadata in there that will
- 2:11Speaker 3: tell you that it's an Excel file, when it was created,
- 2:14Speaker 3: who created it, that sort of thing, right, So a
- 2:17Speaker 3: lot of times people don't realize this metadata exists, and
- 2:19Speaker 3: they get themselves in trouble because they don't know what's
- 2:21Speaker 3: there and they think they're doing something that's untrackable or whatever.
- 2:25Speaker 3: There's a famous story of a hacker who was taunting
- 2:27Speaker 3: the FBI. He knew about metadata. He would post pictures
- 2:31Speaker 3: where the exif data was removed, and one time slipped
- 2:35Speaker 3: up posted a picture where he forgot to remove the
- 2:37Speaker 3: exif data, which included the location the geo coordinates of
- 2:41Speaker 3: where that picture was taken, and they eventually caught him
- 2:43Speaker 3: as a result. So this idea of being able to
- 2:48Speaker 3: take a photo and then use the metadata to figure
- 2:51Speaker 3: out where it came from as not new. However, this
- 2:54Speaker 3: article is basically pointing out that now AI can take
- 2:58Speaker 3: a photo even without the meta data. Okay, look at
- 3:02Speaker 3: the photo itself, and you know, using things like databases,
- 3:06Speaker 3: Google Earth, things like that, figure out where that photo
- 3:10Speaker 3: was taken.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.
- 3:12Speaker 3: So again, even if you are savvy and you understand
- 3:16Speaker 3: things like metadata, stripping it out is not necessarily a
- 3:21Speaker 3: guarantee that these newer AI tools wouldn't be able to
- 3:26Speaker 3: identify where that photo was taken.
- 3:31Speaker 1: When they say it's just like facial recognition, there's enough
- 3:34Speaker 1: information photographs of the globe out there that they can
- 3:37Speaker 1: match whatever photograph you took, as long as it's sort
- 3:40Speaker 1: of like outdoors or something like that, or even indoors.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Multiple millions of photographs in the world, this AI program
- 3:47Speaker 1: is it can easily go through all that, scrape all
- 3:50Speaker 1: that and compare your photo with what exists in the
- 3:52Speaker 1: world and say, no, that was taken in downtown Cincinnati, right,
- 3:55Speaker 1: I mean that kind of thing.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Yeah, here's here's an example.
- 3:59Speaker 3: So there's a picture an anchor, a very large anchor,
- 4:03Speaker 3: probably from like a freighter or battleship or something, propped
- 4:07Speaker 3: up on a street and all you see really is
- 4:10Speaker 3: the anchor and a cobblestone street and a stone.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Building behind it.
- 4:13Speaker 3: I mean, there's no way I could look at this
- 4:14Speaker 3: and even begin to guess where this was taken. And
- 4:17Speaker 3: apparently it's from Helsinki, Finland, And they said in the
- 4:21Speaker 3: article tool the tool identified this, though it also might
- 4:24Speaker 3: be in other locations. Still this is amazingly impressive because
- 4:28Speaker 3: there's been a little go off. So you know, basically
- 4:32Speaker 3: they give you some tips here again, if you're going
- 4:34Speaker 3: to post photos online, turn off the location access on
- 4:37Speaker 3: your camera, strip actif data. Don't post pictures of your kids,
- 4:41Speaker 3: don't post pictures of your house or landscape. You know,
- 4:45Speaker 3: don't post things publicly. But remember this idea of privacy.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Once you post something, Right if you and I are friends, Brian,
- 4:51Speaker 3: and you post something it's only for your friends, Well,
- 4:54Speaker 3: once it's on my screen, I can take it, I
- 4:56Speaker 3: can potentially reshare it, I can take a screenshot of it.
- 5:00Speaker 3: You can't really stop me from doing whatever I want
- 5:02Speaker 3: with at that point. So that's not a great tip
- 5:04Speaker 3: in my mind. But the point they're making here is,
- 5:07Speaker 3: you know, and it's the point I'm trying to make
- 5:09Speaker 3: all the time. I'm not saying you should never post
- 5:13Speaker 3: anything online. I'm saying you should think about your digital footprint.
- 5:16Speaker 3: And as this technology progresses, you know, if someone were
- 5:20Speaker 3: stalking you, for example, now, even posting an image where
- 5:25Speaker 3: you know enough to strip out the exit data might
- 5:29Speaker 3: not be enough to prevent someone from using these kinds
- 5:31Speaker 3: of tools to figure out where that photo was taken
- 5:33Speaker 3: and eventually find you.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Makes sense for me to the consider Yeah, it's always
- 5:38Speaker 1: something to consider anything you post anything online anymore. Wow,
- 5:43Speaker 1: I don't view this as a good road we're going
- 5:45Speaker 1: on or going down. Dave, It really really it frightens
- 5:47Speaker 1: me more and more every day considering the forms of
- 5:49Speaker 1: abuse that AI is coming or the ability to abuse
- 5:52Speaker 1: of AI is coming up. With Dave hadd we're gonna
- 5:55Speaker 1: talk about his sixty one fib KCD talk station tech
- 6:00Speaker 1: part of the Dave Hatter introst it dot com and LinkedIn.
- 6:05Speaker 1: I guess in the next segment we're going to be
- 6:06Speaker 1: talking a little bit about LinkedIn day. That's your favorite
- 6:08Speaker 1: platform to put up information that you talk about here
- 6:10Speaker 1: in the morning show and throughout the week and just
- 6:12Speaker 1: search for Dave hat or on LinkedIn. But in the meantime,
- 6:15Speaker 1: check out the Northern Kentucky Tribune op ed piece by
- 6:18Speaker 1: the Man The Myths Legend Data January twenty first, Dave Hatter,
- 6:21Speaker 1: How Kentuckians can you use State Consumer Data Protection Act?
- 6:24Speaker 2: Dave?
- 6:25Speaker 1: What's this all about?
- 6:26Speaker 3: Yeah, Brian, So, Kentucky passd a Consumer Data Protection Act
- 6:33Speaker 3: that gives you some rights as a consumer to protect
- 6:36Speaker 3: your privacy from these data brokers and so forth that
- 6:39Speaker 3: are constantly buying and selling your data. And while it's
- 6:43Speaker 3: not a perfect law there, we're one of about twenty states.
- 6:48Speaker 2: That have a law.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Now, I don't think Ohio's gotten there yet, So for
- 6:51Speaker 3: all my friends in Ohio, you might want to reach
- 6:53Speaker 3: out to your legislators and tell them to take a
- 6:54Speaker 3: look at Kentucky's law. Again, they are about twenty states
- 6:57Speaker 3: that have done this, And as a reminder, there is
- 6:59Speaker 3: no FED privacy law at this point, So the best
- 7:02Speaker 3: you can hope for is some sort of state law
- 7:04Speaker 3: that would give you some protections as a consumer and
- 7:08Speaker 3: ideally incentivize businesses that are collecting your data to take
- 7:12Speaker 3: it seriously, protect it, that sort of thing. But this
- 7:16Speaker 3: law went into effect in January, and Kentucky, like I said,
- 7:20Speaker 3: it's not perfect.
- 7:21Speaker 2: It doesn't have a private right of action.
- 7:22Speaker 3: If you believe that you have been harmed under the
- 7:26Speaker 3: provisions of the law, you have to go to the
- 7:27Speaker 3: Kentucky Attorney General's office. They're the only ones that can
- 7:30Speaker 3: currently enforce this. But it does have some teeth. Businesses
- 7:33Speaker 3: can be penalized pretty substantially, depending on the type of business,
- 7:38Speaker 3: size of business, the amount of day to day collect
- 7:41Speaker 3: things like that. But what I was shooting for here,
- 7:43Speaker 3: because I did a different piece just trying to explain
- 7:45Speaker 3: the law so people would know about it. What I
- 7:47Speaker 3: tried to explain here is as a consumer in Kentucky,
- 7:50Speaker 3: and I'm going to try to put something together. So
- 7:53Speaker 3: business is doing business in Kentucky, understand how this will
- 7:56Speaker 3: apply to them, and hopefully start to take action to
- 8:00Speaker 3: not become someone who ends up in trouble because they
- 8:04Speaker 3: did not do the right things. But basically, this gives
- 8:08Speaker 3: you the opportunity to go to a company that you
- 8:10Speaker 3: believe is collected your data.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Now, this is not easy, Brian. This is one of
- 8:13Speaker 2: the tricks. Right.
- 8:14Speaker 3: You got to go to their website. You got to
- 8:16Speaker 3: find that their privacy policy or whatever, or how you
- 8:19Speaker 3: would contact them and say, you know, you have to
- 8:22Speaker 3: turn over your data to me. You know, you might
- 8:25Speaker 3: look for things like private privacy rights, data subject requests,
- 8:28Speaker 3: that sort of thing. Right, you got to submit a request.
- 8:31Speaker 3: You have to say, hey, I want you and I've
- 8:34Speaker 3: got some sample language in here. For example, please confirm
- 8:36Speaker 3: whether you are processing my personal data provide access to
- 8:39Speaker 3: all personal data associated with my account, including identifiers, browsing history,
- 8:43Speaker 3: location data in any inferences. Right, and then basically you
- 8:48Speaker 3: should get a report and you can look at that report,
- 8:51Speaker 3: and then you can do things like say, well this
- 8:53Speaker 3: is wrong, I want you to correct that. You can
- 8:56Speaker 3: request the LEAs of personal data collected directly from you.
- 9:01Speaker 3: And that's one of the things that makes this less ideal.
- 9:04Speaker 3: If they if they've bought it from someone else, well
- 9:07Speaker 3: that wasn't collected directly from you, so you can't they
- 9:11Speaker 3: won't have to delete that necessarily.
- 9:13Speaker 2: Right.
- 9:14Speaker 3: So again, there are some things where this could be better,
- 9:18Speaker 3: but even for people who've complained about it, my answer is, well,
- 9:21Speaker 3: it's way better than what we had before. The law
- 9:23Speaker 3: was passed in January twenty four and again went into
- 9:26Speaker 3: effect in January of this year. It was actually was
- 9:28Speaker 3: passed in twenty four, not January, went into effect this year.
- 9:31Speaker 2: It's way better than nothing.
- 9:33Speaker 3: It does give you, again, some rights as a consumer
- 9:36Speaker 3: to see what companies have to request, collect corrections, to
- 9:41Speaker 3: request deletions, to ask for the data so you could
- 9:45Speaker 3: take it somewhere else. And you know, I'm hoping that
- 9:48Speaker 3: this will just be a first step towards tightening this
- 9:52Speaker 3: up over time, you know, and giving businesses a chance
- 9:55Speaker 3: to understand this and start to implement practices to secure
- 10:00Speaker 3: your data, protect your data, store less data, and for
- 10:04Speaker 3: you as a consumer, that's all the wind. So again,
- 10:07Speaker 3: if you live in Kentucky, go read this op ed.
- 10:10Speaker 3: I've posted it several times in my social media LinkedIn acts,
- 10:13Speaker 3: et cetera. I'll post it again as part of the
- 10:16Speaker 3: notes for this and then you know, start to take
- 10:18Speaker 3: action to try.
- 10:19Speaker 2: To unwind some of the stuff.
- 10:20Speaker 3: I also talk about, like trying to do a personal
- 10:23Speaker 3: privacy audit. And you know, I've written some articles on
- 10:26Speaker 3: this kind of thing before, got some tips out there,
- 10:28Speaker 3: links to tools that I use, so you.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Know, ultimately this is it.
- 10:33Speaker 3: And also this week is Data Privacy Month, so this
- 10:36Speaker 3: is a great time to start thinking about your privacy,
- 10:39Speaker 3: clean up your digital footprint, and if you live in Kentucky,
- 10:42Speaker 3: start to use this law to unwind some of this stuff.
- 10:45Speaker 1: All right, Well, at the risk of going down some
- 10:47Speaker 1: rabbit hole, which I don't want to do. I'm just
- 10:49Speaker 1: I'm trying to process how complicated.
- 10:51Speaker 2: This is going to be. It's going to be complished.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Okay, let's say I interact with City Bank or something like,
- 10:58Speaker 1: I purposefully intend go to a website, right, I give
- 11:02Speaker 1: them my log in information, my name, they got my
- 11:04Speaker 1: credit card number, whatever. So I exchanged information with them.
- 11:07Speaker 1: I can say, hey, City Bank, what are you collecting
- 11:09Speaker 1: about me? What do you have internally related to me?
- 11:11Speaker 1: That makes sense, It's an easy ask. But lots of
- 11:14Speaker 1: businesses out there have people within the company that are
- 11:18Speaker 1: using other forms of let's say artificial apps.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Right.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Let's say within the working model of any given business,
- 11:24Speaker 1: they use information you provided them through some app created
- 11:29Speaker 1: by a third party. Now do they have to let
- 11:32Speaker 1: you know that what they're using involves a third party app?
- 11:34Speaker 1: Because that app, as you pointed out, may very well
- 11:36Speaker 1: be collecting your information, perhaps even unbeknownst to the company
- 11:39Speaker 1: that I'm asking for data from.
- 11:41Speaker 3: So the law has some exemptions for organizations and agencies
- 11:45Speaker 3: that would not be subject to this, for example, nonprofits,
- 11:49Speaker 3: higher education, state and local government agencies, businesses regulated under
- 11:54Speaker 3: federal laws like HIPPA and Graham leads Filey Act. So
- 11:58Speaker 3: not every business is subject this. But as I understand it,
- 12:01Speaker 3: I'm not an attorney. As I understand it, Yes, if
- 12:05Speaker 3: you don't fall into one of the exemptions. As someone
- 12:07Speaker 3: requests this information from you, you must turn it over.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Okay, if that's the answer, that's the answer, and I'm
- 12:13Speaker 1: comfortable with that. I'm just again a compliance with this
- 12:18Speaker 1: from the recip or by the recipient of the request.
- 12:21Speaker 1: That's you're gonna have to put a lot of faith
- 12:22Speaker 1: in them that they're actually looking for all of the
- 12:24Speaker 1: records that might apply to your request. This is something
- 12:26Speaker 1: a litigation attorneys have to deal with all the time.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Six forty seven, we're going to hear about well hackers
- 12:31Speaker 1: using day's favorite platform to the talk station. Six you
- 12:36Speaker 1: want if you buy KRCD talk station Byan Thomas with
- 12:38Speaker 1: Dave had Or doing Tech Friday intrust it dot com.
- 12:41Speaker 1: So your favorite platform has got a problem, Dave hat
- 12:44Speaker 1: Or what's the story here with pcgamer dot COM's Jane
- 12:46Speaker 1: Bentley bringing this to our attention.
- 12:48Speaker 3: Well, it isn't a LinkedIn problem, It's a file sharing
- 12:52Speaker 3: problem on any social media platform.
- 12:55Speaker 2: So the point she's.
- 12:56Speaker 3: Making here is hackers pretending to be a recruiter, as
- 13:00Speaker 3: one example, might go on LinkedIn and say hey, I
- 13:04Speaker 3: looked at your profile. You look like a great fit
- 13:06Speaker 3: for this job, fill out this application. Right, they're using
- 13:10Speaker 3: the messaging, so let me take a step back LinkedIn.
- 13:14Speaker 3: And for folks who haven't used LinkedIn, if you've used Facebook,
- 13:17Speaker 3: think of Facebook Messenger right now. I try to avoid
- 13:20Speaker 3: ever using Facebook Messenger. Don't send me messages on Facebook
- 13:24Speaker 3: Messenger because I probably won't see him for the next
- 13:26Speaker 3: six months.
- 13:26Speaker 2: I don't even look at it.
- 13:27Speaker 3: Okay, but Messenger is a way for you to send
- 13:30Speaker 3: a direct message to someone rather than make a post
- 13:33Speaker 3: that potentially everyone can see. It's a one to one
- 13:36Speaker 3: message or possibly a group message.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Right, every morning I get a whole bunch of them.
- 13:40Speaker 3: Yeah, same thing as a direct message on X Right,
- 13:44Speaker 3: it's a message between two people generally, so LinkedIn has
- 13:48Speaker 3: that same capability. You can go on LinkedIn and send
- 13:51Speaker 3: a message to someone. I use this all the time.
- 13:54Speaker 3: I get messages all the time, usually people trying to
- 13:56Speaker 3: sell me something. But again, someone can pretend to be
- 13:59Speaker 3: a recruiter and they send you a file. So in
- 14:02Speaker 3: addition to just typing a message in there, you can
- 14:05Speaker 3: send someone a link, but you can also attach a file,
- 14:08Speaker 3: so a word documented PDF, whatever. And they're pointing out
- 14:12Speaker 3: that you know people on LinkedIn are often looking for jobs,
- 14:16Speaker 3: looking for their next opportunity. It's not unusual to have
- 14:19Speaker 3: a legitimate recruiter reach out to you. But bad guys
- 14:22Speaker 3: understand this and are increasingly using LinkedIn, especially for people
- 14:26Speaker 3: looking for jobs, as a way to defraud them. And
- 14:29Speaker 3: what she's pointing out in this article, And again, I
- 14:32Speaker 3: want to be clear, Brian, this could happen to you
- 14:35Speaker 3: on anywhere. Someone can send you a file. Right in
- 14:38Speaker 3: the old days, this will primarily be email. I send
- 14:40Speaker 3: you an email, It's got an attachment. The attachment is
- 14:43Speaker 3: some kind of malware, virus, keystrokelog or whatever. Well, the
- 14:47Speaker 3: bad guys are smart. They go where people are. They
- 14:50Speaker 3: know that many folks don't really think. Well, wait a minute.
- 14:53Speaker 3: If someone can send me a file through Facebook, X, TikTok, Pinterest, LinkedIn, whatever,
- 14:59Speaker 3: that file could be malicious, just like it could if
- 15:03Speaker 3: I got it via email, or just like it could
- 15:05Speaker 3: if I went to a website and downloaded it. Right,
- 15:08Speaker 3: the file itself contains malicious content, a virus, if you will.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Well, this comes as no surprise to me given all
- 15:14Speaker 1: the times you've told us about other platforms. I mean,
- 15:16Speaker 1: that's why I don't open text messages that had links
- 15:18Speaker 1: to them. You know, I don't never open the link
- 15:20Speaker 1: because of your warnings. This sounds to me like no
- 15:21Speaker 1: different from that, So I'm asking this comes as a surprise.
- 15:25Speaker 3: It's no different at all. It's just that they're now
- 15:28Speaker 3: exploiting social media platforms and LinkedIn in particular, and they're
- 15:32Speaker 3: using social engineering, right the idea of it, Yes, here's
- 15:36Speaker 3: a job, here's a job. Click this form, open this
- 15:39Speaker 3: form and fill it out or something like that, which
- 15:41Speaker 3: then infects your computer with a virus potentially.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Well, I get all that.
- 15:45Speaker 2: I guess.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Part of me wants to say, how many true genuine
- 15:49Speaker 1: employers go out there and scan through LinkedIn profiles looking
- 15:53Speaker 1: for someone who fits the bill for the open spot
- 15:55Speaker 1: as opposed to posting a position open and having real
- 15:59Speaker 1: people respond.
- 16:02Speaker 3: I would say most they have recruiters, and their recruiters
- 16:05Speaker 3: are using LinkedIn to find people that fit their really
- 16:08Speaker 3: do it all the time?
- 16:09Speaker 1: Oh wow? Well, see, I'm not in business. What the
- 16:11Speaker 1: hell does Thomas know? So at least you answer my question,
- 16:14Speaker 1: So that does happen?
- 16:14Speaker 2: So?
- 16:15Speaker 3: So, yeah, if you're a recruiter, one of the best
- 16:17Speaker 3: ways to find people that would potentially fill an open
- 16:20Speaker 3: position is to use a tool like LinkedIn and say, well,
- 16:23Speaker 3: they have the right education, they have the right experience,
- 16:25Speaker 3: they have the right training. This is someone I want
- 16:28Speaker 3: to talk to and direct message. The message feature of
- 16:31Speaker 3: LinkedIn would be a way to get to them directly.
- 16:33Speaker 2: All right, Well, again, how does this?
- 16:35Speaker 1: How does one discern whether that is a real, genuine
- 16:38Speaker 1: tax with real genuine recruiter or somebody trying to rip
- 16:42Speaker 1: them off.
- 16:42Speaker 3: Well, that is an excellent question, and I would say
- 16:45Speaker 3: there is no one hundred percent guaranteed way to do it,
- 16:47Speaker 3: because the bad guys will go in and set up
- 16:50Speaker 3: a fake profile. They make it look realistic, they look
- 16:53Speaker 3: like they work at a real company. They you know,
- 16:56Speaker 3: they probably have. They've created activity make themselves look legitimate, right,
- 17:00Speaker 3: because it's easy to do.
- 17:02Speaker 2: So.
- 17:02Speaker 3: My advice to you would be if you have someone
- 17:05Speaker 3: reach out to you in an unsolicited way on any
- 17:08Speaker 3: of these platforms, but linked In particularly, and especially if
- 17:11Speaker 3: it's you're out of a job and you're looking for
- 17:13Speaker 3: a job. It's an offer, you know, all the stuff Brian,
- 17:15Speaker 3: too good to be true, whatever, you should be highly
- 17:18Speaker 3: skeptical of it, and you should do everything possible to
- 17:21Speaker 3: confirm that that is a real, real, legitimate thing before
- 17:25Speaker 3: you click that file. I'm not saying don't interact with
- 17:28Speaker 3: the person necessarily, but I'm saying, like, look at their profile,
- 17:31Speaker 3: try to confirm that they're real, Do they have other activity?
- 17:35Speaker 3: Can you confirm anything? But don't open the file until
- 17:39Speaker 3: you have a high, high level of certainty, and certainly
- 17:41Speaker 3: if you don't have any kind of antivirus, don't open it.
- 17:43Speaker 3: But even then, it's a risky proposition to open any
- 17:47Speaker 3: file someone sends you that you weren't expecting and did
- 17:49Speaker 3: not ask for.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Exclamation point. Dave atorinterest dot com. Appreciate what you do
- 17:55Speaker 1: every week on the program. I'll look forward to another
- 17:57Speaker 1: talk with you next Friday. In the meantime, you guys at Intrust,
- 18:00Speaker 1: I have a great week and thanks again. It's six
- 18:04Speaker 1: fifty seven and fifty five.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Care
