I have been wanting to create some 30-90 second Reels for tech, cyber, soft skills, etc... whatever I feel comfortable covering that is professional in content. I am brainstorming and wondering if my network had any ideas that they would like to see recorded? I am open to any reasonable ideas... AND GO!!

Thanks in advance guys!! 🤔🎓🎥

This is taking it to a whole other level... I always grab the cards toward the middle/back because I also know that they can write down the code and just wait for them to be loaded to grab the cash too. So please be extra vigilant when shopping around the holidays!!

Former Canadian police officer and current business owner Nichelle Laus has gone viral after exposing a hidden scam on certain gift cards: a false barcode taped on the back. Laus joins CBS News to discuss the trick and how to stay safe while holiday shopping.

🚸 FIRST DAY PICTURES AND CYBERSECURITY🚸
(Taken from another post, but good information)

Pretend your kid's name is Madison, and let's start with the first day of school signs. These signs are cute and everyone loves seeing them, so what's the harm in them, right? Wrong. If I was somebody looking for your child or just a child in general and you posted this to your facebook, which most individuals have no security precautions on, leaving information public, then I have everything I need. All I have to do is pull up at her school, which you have so wonderfully produced as Grow Tree Elementary, and say I'm Madison's aunt she's in preschool, and her mom told me her teacher is Mrs. Chadwick, her mom was busy and couldn't pick her up today so she sent me. Or if the school has to be notified beforehand I could call and pretend to be her mom first. Because the sign has given me everything to do so and it's usually the mom's or dad's posting these so then I also have your name too so I can pretend to be you. It's easier than you might think to do this, even with the schools safety measures.

Next let look at the next image the whole family in front of the house, or even if you took your kids picture in front of the house with their little first day of school sign. WITHOUT a sign, make sure your house number isn't in the picture, because if they can get on your profile and see the town you live in then they can look up the house number and wait til your kids are alone. WITH a sign you have given them the school they go to so quick search tells me what town that is and then look up your house number and bam I'm sitting outside again waiting.

So in conclusion, don't post these pictures, or double check them or your privacy settings to make sure they don't get in the wrong hands, especially if those hands want to harm your children. Most of all, there's more of a threat out there about this stuff than you think, so be safe and put these pictures in a scrapbook for your own personal use because not everyone needs to know every detail about your child's life other than you.

PSA: Android users my have noticed applications crashing, especially Gmail, on their phones. There is no official word from Android/Google about this, but the common fix seems to be to uninstall the Android System Webview using the Google Play Store. This will not uninstall the service, just the last update. Restart your phone and this should fix the issue until a fix can be officially released.

If you have questions let us know...
