If you want something done right...

from here and here

I'm not trying to suggest that your security should be entirely your responsibility. I know there are improvements that can be made that are outside of the hands of individuals, but if you're waiting on that or worse relying on that - you're gonna be waiting a long time and it's not going to be pretty.

If those external improvements happen, that's great, but until then - you've got to take matters into your own hands.

When you look like someone out of a horror movie (Poltergeist 2?) it's bound to creep out friends and enemies alike. I'm not sure that would actually serve as a meaningful deterrent, but one can hope.

Cybersecurity Awareness Halloween Edition


Watch on YouTube

How weird is it that Cybersecurity Awareness Month is the same month as Halloween? It's almost as though someone knew cybersecurity awareness would focus on scaring people.

Of course you won't be able to access the data either, but at least other people can't get it.

Maybe you should take care of that before you die

I'm pretty sure by the time you're a skeleton there's nothing you can do to protect the secrets on your phone, so you should really consider doing something about it long before that happens. Now would be a good time.

Modern Nightmares

from here and here

There's often a certain amount of hacking involved in ransomware deployment, but usually not like that.
