Hey, welcome to the Your Secure Life podcast. 

My name is Garrett. I’m an OSINT investigator and a privacy consultant and I am here to teach individuals and small businesses about privacy and security. 

That’s what this whole podcast about. 

You can check it out at YourSecure.Life, and don’t forget to pick up our free guide YourSecure.Life/guide, which will tell you how to clean up and keep clean your digital footprint in five days or less.

This week we’re talking about why hackers want to hack you. 

I talk to a lot of people who tell me things like “no one would want to hack me; I’m a nobody.” 

The fact of the matter is that it doesn’t matter who you are. 

You might be a nobody. You might be a somebody, and of course you have a higher chance of being hacked if you are somebody, but if you’re not somebody there’s still a good chance you could be hacked.

We’re going to talk about why. 

The first thing I want to go over is , the term “hacking,” I’m going to be using that in a way that means “cybercrime”. 

A lot of people take issue with this. It’s fine. I don’t even like to use it. It’s not a catch-all term. You can be a hacker and not do any crime.

You can be a criminal and not do any hacking. They’re not interchangeable. 

There’s a difference between cybercrime hacking and regular hacking. Just like there’s a difference between locksmithing and picking locks to break in. 

You can hire a locksmith because you got locked out of your car and you need to get back into your car. That’s totally legal and there’s no crime involved and it’s ethical. 

But that same person could use those same tools and those same skills to break into cars and steal stereos or other valuables.

It’s the same thing with hacking. 

There are tools there are skills that could be used for good. They could be used for evil. 

But in this podcast, we’re going to be using the term hacking to refer to cybercriminals attacking you. Most likely for identity theft. 

The first and most obvious reason why someone would get hacked, why you would get hacked, is if you have money. 

One of the funniest things that I have to deal with when talking to people is that the the more money someone has, for some reason, the more likely they are to tell me “I’m a nobody; why would anybody hack me?” 

I just look at them like they’ve got a second head or something. 

It just blows my mind that someone who drives a Tesla and lives in a three-story house on the water in Florida doesn’t think that someone would come after their money.

I don’t really think there’s anything else to say about this one. It’s pretty obvious. 

If you have money people are going to come after you.

Another reason that you might be hacked as if you have a good credit score. 

Cybercriminals want people with good credit scores to steal their identity. 

It’s really easy to take out a large, sometimes six-figure, loan online without talking to anybody. Just by submitting information.

If they can steal your identity and submit that information, get a huge hundred thousand dollar loan, and take off… That sucks for you.

If you have a good credit score, even just a mediocre credit score, this could happen to you and it could happen with credit cards, too. 

You don’t even have to have a lot of money to have a good credit score. 

I know plenty of people that have great credit scores and make well below six figures. I’ve been there myself. 

Speaking of identity theft, identity theft on average costs $7,000 and at least a hundred hours of time just to clean up.

You really don’t want to open yourself to identity theft, right? That’s why you’re here, of course. That’s why you’re listening to this. 

Another possibility is that you were randomly chosen. It’s true. You can be randomly chosen to be hacked. 

The way this works is because of all of the past data breaches where all of our information has been leaked out. 

That’s why I advocate for such strong privacy and our own lives and in the corporations that are taking our data. And I guess the governments, too. 

What happens is these databases get leaked and sometimes they have our password. Sometimes they have our user names. Sometimes they have our emails. 

Let’s suppose in one of these leaked breaches your email and password were in the database and that same email and that same password is used for your email or Facebook or maybe even your bank account. 

They now have access to that. 

Cyber criminals have built software that just takes these databases, scours the internet, and just starts pluging it in until it finds positives.

You definitely want to have different passwords.

I talk about that in the guide at YourSecure.Life/guide.

Day one talks about how you should manage your passwords and how you should have a different password for every website. 

So go check that out. It’s free. 

There’s this thing called “doxxing” or “getting doxxed” and what that means is someone’s got your address and they blasted it online.

Usually this is used for harassment purposes. 

These people obviously aren’t trying to steal your identity or get any financial gain out of you, but they are trying to mess up your life and in many cases they succeed. 

So why would someone want to docks and harass you? 

Unfortunately, we live in a very volatile times specially politically and especially when it comes to politics online.

You could say the wrong thing and piss off the wrong person. It’s really that simple. 

They don’t even have to be one of your friends. If you post it publicly you could say something on Twitter and someone just happens to find it and they’re just the wrong person and they happen to decide, “you know, what I’m going to ruin this person’s day.”

The next thing you know, you’ve got a SWAT team beating down your door because they called the police and told them that you had a bomb.

That’s called “swatting” and it happens more often than you think.

A less nefarious prank that is often done is that they just send pizzas to your front door. This might sound good at first, but when you have 10, no sauce, no cheese left beef pizzas, it’s not good. It’s not good at all. 

Another reason you might be a target is because you’re not the actual target, someone close to you is, and you don’t want to be their weak link.

For example, let’s say your husband is the one who said something on Twitter to piss off some trolls. 

Now those trolls are looking for him. But he is way ahead of the game. He’s way ahead of me. He’s already wiped out all information about himself online and so he can’t be found. 

But this person, they found you.

And they know that you live with him. And they find your address because you didn’t clean it up. 

This is why it’s important that you are secure. You have to be secure for the people around you. 

That’s called herd immunity and that’s why I do what I do here. It’s because I want everyone to be safe so that we can all be safe together and it helps all of us.

Again, don’t be someone else’s weak link. 

The last reason I want to talk about someone would want to hack you is because you are putting yourself online. 

This could be in very different ways. It could be because you’re an online entrepreneur and you want to be like Gary Vee. It could be because you are a Twitch streamer and you want to be like PewDiePie.

I guess he’s on YouTube, but maybe you want to be a YouTube person. 

It doesn’t matter. They will come after you just for that. 

Some of it might be jealousy. Some of it’s just trolls trying to harass you.  

The fact is that if you put yourself online like that, people are gonna try to get at you just for whatever stupid reason. 

And that’s another reason you need to be safe.

In fact, a lot of people that have been online, especially Twitch and YouTube, have been swatted, doxxed, all of that. 

It really sucks and it’s really scary. 

But there’s a lot of things we can do to prevent it from happening and that’s what this whole podcast is about. 

It’s a scary world out there these days. Very little could set someone off and have them come after you.

It’s terrible. It sucks. It really does, and here we are living that life. It’s what we got to do. 

That’s what this whole podcast is about. That’s why I put together a free guide. 

I know I’m plugging it a lot today, but I forgot to plug it last episode. I think or I plugged it very little last episode. I might not have even plugged it. I don’t remember, but I just want to make sure you know about YourSecure.Life/guide. It’s free. 

You can take it as a 5-day email course, or you can take it all in one day. You can knock it all out in a Saturday for sure. 

This stuff really is like the bare minimum and we’re just getting started with this podcast.

This is episode 2, so it’s just the beginning, but I’m here working to make sure that everybody can be safe online.

Not just me, not just you, but everybody. 

Because like I said earlier, there’s that herd immunity. If each of us take precautions to be safer, it helps all of us in the long.

Run next episode we’re going to talk about another common thing that I hear: “I don’t need privacy because I have nothing to hide.” 

That one pisses me off even more, and it should piss you off too. 

But this is it for today. Let’s talk about that one next week. 

If you want to check out the show notes or the transcript or even a video of this, you can go to YourSecure.Life/2 because this is episode 2. Slash one has episode 1 and I think slash zero has the introduction episode. 

Either way, you can find them all from there. You can also just go to YourSecure.Life and you can figure it out from there, I’m pretty sure.

This podcast has no sponsors. It’s never going to have sponsors because I hate commercials.

I pretty much only listen to podcast when I’m driving and it just really sucks to have a really long commercial when I am driving because I don’t want to look down to skip it and then I have to listen to this commercial. 

So that’s why I don’t have commercials.

I don’t ever want to have commercials. 

So the best way that you can support this is you can share it with somebody. 

You can search for this on iTunes if you’re not listening on iTunes and give us a review there, that would be great. And also a subscribe. 

Of course on YouTube, you can like and subscribe the video to help and really just any sort of sharing helps.

I greatly appreciate it. Thanks for listening and I’ll see you next week.

Read about Password Managers

Hey, what’s up, Garrett here.

Today we’re talking about password managers because this is probably the bare minimum you should be doing and it’s often misunderstood. 

There are some objections that people might have to this that are unnecessary. The fact of it is: everybody should have a password manager.

That’s the bare minimum you should have.

There’s quite a few out there. In fact, I did some research just to see how many were out there and I don’t think I found them all but the list that I did find, there was:

• 1Password
• Norton Password Manager 
• Password Keeper
• LastPass 
• Zoho Vault
• Chrome’s password manager 
• Password Safe 
• Password Vault 
• Enpass 
• Bit Warden 
• SafeInCloud 
• Keeper Password Manager, which maybe is the same as Password Keeper? I don’t know 
• Password Vault Manager 
• Windows Password Manager 
• DashLane 
• KeePass 
• iCloud’s password manager
• Awallet 
• PWsafe 
• Kwallet 
• Trend Micro Password Manager 
• Samsung Password Manager 
• Myki Password 
• TeamPass 
• Kaspersky Password 
• Avira Password Manager 

How do you decide which one you’re going to use? 

Honestly, you just gotta go with one of the big three.

People will probably argue with me. 

I’m not sure where Bit Warden stands on this. I put them probably number four, but the big three for me are LastPass, 1Password, and KeePass.

We’re going to go through each one individually in that order because these are the ones that you’re going to want to look at.

We’re going to talk about the features, the benefits, the prices. Not all of them are free. Some of them are more convenient than others. 

First, let’s get started talking about why you should not use iCloud’s password manager or your browser password managers. 

First of all, these password managers, they’re not very secure. They’re not super secure. They’re a little lacking. 

One of the reasons why browser password managers are lacking is because it’s not really their full business. It’s just a part of their business. 

And the same thing with iCloud, or Windows, or maybe Samsung if it’s in your phone. 

These are only a small portion of their business and that means they’re not dedicating their entire work time to it.

For most reputable companies, it’s really important to have safe customers.

When you’re balancing between a lot of different aspects to your business, you’re gonna dedicate less to other things.

For example, if you’re Chrome or Firefox or Opera, or any other browser for that matter, your main focus is on a working browser. 

Secondary to that would be things like ad blockers, password managers. There’s also going to be support for extensions and plugins.

These are all things that are going to put password managers a little bit lower on the priority list for these companies .

If you go with a company such as LastPass, or 1Password , or any of the password manager specific companies, that’s their whole business. Their entire business is on storing your usernames, your passwords, sometimes other things like credit cards. 

All of that will be stored and  it’s going to be a lot better because that’s their whole business and they’re going to focus on you. 

Another benefit to going with a password manager specific company is that you can take this with you anywhere, forever, for the rest of your life. 

Assuming the company doesn’t go out of business. I don’t really see that happening with any of the major players.

One of the problems with switching platforms is taking your passwords with you. A lot of them do have easy exports and imports but you can’t rely on that forever .

Let’s say you’re using Firefox and you decide you want to switch to Safari. Or you’re using Chrome and you want to switch to Firefox. 

You have to hope that these export and import properly.

If you go with a password manager that is just a password manager, like 1Password or KeePass or LastPass, they work on any system. 

So you can just open it on that system and all your stuff is there. 

You can switch systems in the future. 

You can go from Apple Computers to Windows computers to Linux computers or whatever you need to switch to.

And you’ll always be able to access that stuff because you’re not locked into a specific platform by using their password managers.

Let’s get talking about password managers in specific.

LastPass 

I want to talk about LastPass first. 

LastPass is what I use for a majority of my stuff. A lot of my general online stuff uses LastPass and the reason why is because…Honestly, I started with it for work many years ago and the way it works sharing passwords within an office is just extremely convenient and it’s very affordable.

I ended up just sticking with it for a long time because that’s just where everything was. Of course, I can move it all but I just haven’t yet and LastPass has been good to me. 

I also like their authenticator for two-factor authentication. That’s something we’ll talk about in a future podcast; we’ll also talk about it later in this one, but only briefly.

It’s just been really convenient for me, and so I’ve been using LastPass. 

This isn’t sponsored by LastPass or KeePass or 1Password. This podcast isn’t sponsored by anybody. So, I’m not trying to harp on any specific one. I’m just sharing with you the ones that I have found to be the best or at least the best for me. You can do your own research and look into these but these are pretty much the most popular.

With LastPass, the pricing model is pretty good. The free level is probably all you need. 

There’s a premium level, which has better sharing. 

There’s a family level, which gives you multiple users with sharing and stuff like that. 

And then there’s business levels if you need to handle whole businesses.

If you’re just a family, the family one’s really great. Especially if you have kids. 

One of the things that I really like about LastPass sharing is that you can share a password with someone without showing them the password. 

They can still drop it into forms by using LastPass plugins in whatever browser they’re using, but they can’t see the password. 

So you can allow them access but not allow them to see a password. You can also revoke that access at any time. 

If you have kids that you want to have access to things, you can do that, and because they don’t know the password,  they can’t share it.

You keep it locked in your family that way, but you still have access and you can revoke their access to it if you need to.

Generally, I think it’s kind of a jerk move, but you could theoretically control your kids accounts that way and ground them from accounts by not letting them have their passwords again.

I think that’s kind of a jerk thing to do. But you know, you’re the parent. If that’s what you want to do, that’s what you want to do. 

Another cool thing about LastPass, and this is something that you’ll see in pretty much all password managers,  it has a really great random generated password creator and I really enjoy this.

I not only use their password generator for my passwords.  I also use it for my usernames, which in another podcast in the future we’ll talk about why you should randomly generate your usernames as well as your passwords. 

You definitely want to be randomly generating passwords. You want them to be as long as you can possibly get them to be accepted into a website.

Some websites will keep you under 8 characters. I think the original Xbox. Maybe the Xbox 360 to login to your Microsoft account it requires a pretty short password and I can’t even get onto my Xbox 360s Microsoft Live or whatever they call it now because my password is longer than that and I can’t type it in on the Xbox because the Xbox limits you to a character limit.

Fortunately, most websites and apps and stuff are getting past that but not all of them. I tried to sign up with TikTok the other day and apparently my 32 character password was too long. 

So I didn’t sign up with TikTok. 

You can shorten it and lengthen it using their password generator and you can make it easy to say. 

I use  easy to say and easy to read and then I put only lowercase for my usernames.

Then for passwords, I put it on all characters, I put uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols, everything that it will let me, I will do.

I will sometimes put them at 99 for the password length if it will accept it. If an app or website won’t then I’ll start shortening it down. I try to keep it at 32 at the minimum but like I said some websites and apps need something shorter than that.

Either I don’t sign up for them or I just go ahead and do it and just roll my eyes. 

Another great thing about LastPass is storing things like your credit cards.

Some people don’t feel comfortable with this but I do because again, this is their business. Their business is to keep you safe, and I just find it to be very safe and and well done.

It also makes it really convenient because I don’t have to put in my credit card manually, which is annoying. 

And also, pulling it out of my wallet, which is in my backpack. Probably. 

Or somewhere else, especially if I’m here in my messy office, where I don’t even know where my wallet is. 

It’s probably in my backpack.

I would have to go find it. It’s just a pain in the butt. I don’t want to do that.

That’s all the features. I mean, there’s a lot more features, but that’s all the features I really wanted to go over in LastPass. 

1Password

The next one I want to talk about is 1Password 

1Password has all of the features that I just listed for LastPass. It really does. It has all of those.

It’s got family pricing. It’s got business pricing. It is a little bit more in pricing than LastPass. But it has document storage, which is nice. You get 1 gigabyte for the lowest level and you can get more gigabytes for higher levels.

1Password also has travel mode.

1Password Travel Mode

I want to go over travel mode a little bit because travel mode is really cool.

Travel mode with 1Password is really cool because basically it makes it so that you can’t access your own stuff, nor anybody else when you’re traveling.

This is particularly good  for crossing borders. 

We all know that nowadays crossing the United States border, as well as I’m sure other borders, border patrols and TSA agents and whatever you want to call them are checking our phones.

They’re checking our computers. They’re checking any electronic devices we have. 

That kind of sucks. Not very cool.  It’s not right 

People are being picked especially if you are not white, or maybe it has to do with your job such as being a journalist.

I know that journalists are being searched. 

They’re just going through and looking for this stuff. 

What you can do is you can set up different vaults with different things.

Then you can set it so that when you’re traveling you go in there and you basically lock yourself out of your vault.

Then you can’t access that fault while you’re traveling. 

The TSA agents can’t access the vault because you can’t which means they can’t get into your accounts and look at things. 

Everything is locked and you have your plausible deniability because you can’t get into it.

You physically cannot unlock it for them.

It’s not only locking you and them out of it. It actually removes it from visibility. 

You can’t see it. 

They can’t see it. They don’t know that it’s not there. 

Unless they’re savvy with 1Password, in which case they still don’t know. They are just assuming.

That to me makes 1Password way  better than anything else. 

If that is something that’s important to you. If your job involves travelling across the border. Or maybe even just traveling within a country, if we ever reach the point where our phones are being searched just in regular travel. You have this option and if that’s the case, then I would absolutely recommend 1Password over LastPass.

The third password manager I want to talk about is KeyPass. 

KeePass

KeyPass is where I keep all of my really important stuff. 

I know I told you that I use LastPass for most of my stuff and that is true.

In KeePass I keep most of my really important stuff such as: banks, access to my doctor’s accounts.

Anything that’s really really important is stored in KeePass.

The reason why is because KeePass is not cloud storage.

With LastPass and 1Password, you’ll be able to store your stuff on the cloud. You can access it across many devices. You can do that with KeePass too, but you have to store it in your own cloud.

The way KeePass works is it’s open source software that allows you to keep a vault as a file on your computer, on your phone, in your cloud, wherever. 

I personally do not keep my in the cloud. I keep it on the hard drive of my computer and I keep a backup somewhere else. And I’m not going to tell you where it is.

This vault has all of my important stuff: my most important information, my most important passwords, and some other stuff that I keep stored in there because it’s just so much safer. 

The reason why it’s so much safer because it’s not on the internet. You have to have physical access to my device to get it and even then it’s still encrypted. It’s still got its own password. 

You still can’t get into it unless you know these things. That, to me, makes KeePass one of the most secure password managers you can possibly have.

Luckily, I can put it in my cloud and send it to other devices if I need to be able to access it that way.

Because I’m a little bit paranoid and more secure conscious than most people, I don’t even put it in the cloud unless I absolutely have to.

If I do it’s encrypted within an encrypted zip file and then sent that way and then delete it as soon as I can delete it.

That just makes KeePass really important to have. 

So, if you need that level of security, I highly recommend KeePass.

There’s other ones. There’s KeePassX as well. 

I’m not 100% sure the difference between KeePass and KeePassX. 

I’ve been using KeyPass for quite a few years. It’s been good to me, and that’s the one that I’ve used for this stuff. 

It’s open source. It’s OSI certified. It’s completely free forever, as far as I know.

It’s been vetted. People have looked at the open source code and they’ve seen it and said, “hey, this is safe. This is secure. This really encrypts your stuff. It really stores your stuff in a good way.” 

That’s at KeePass.info. 

I’ll be putting links to each of the password managers that we’ve talked about: LastPass, 1Password, and KeePass, in the show notes, which you can get to at YourSecure.Life/1 because this is the first episode. 

I don’t think I mentioned that earlier. By the way, welcome to the first episode. Happy to have you here.

Now that we’ve gone over the three main password managers that I recommend, I just want to go through a couple misconceptions. 

Common Misconceptions About Password Managers

Some people say, “well if I keep all my passwords in one place like a password manager, isn’t that a single point of failure?”

By definition, yes, but it’s not a single point of failure because you should be using something called two-factor authentication.

All of the ones mentioned allow two-factor authentication.

You should be using two-factor authentication. To get more into detail on what that is and how that works I’m going to dedicate an entire episode to that.

There are four main ways to use two-factor authentication.

The first one is having a one time use code sent to your email. Another one is sent to your phone. 

I do not recommend these two. 

The reason why is because if someone compromises your email, or your phone through sim swapping, then they can reset your passwords and get access to two-factor authentication that way and that sucks.

Other options are: an app that is dedicated specifically to two-factor authentication. 

LastPass has an app. Google has an app. Zoho has an app.

There’s lots of them out there. As well as open source ones, free ones. 

There’s also physical keys that you can get, such as the YubiKey, and that’s something that I use as often as possible. 

That one they have to have the physical key in their hand.

It goes into your USB or they have one that you can plug into your lightning port on your iPhone.

That’s super secure because you literally have to have the key to plug it in to get access to stuff.

You can’t get into my LastPass without that. You can’t get into a lot of my stuff without having my YubiKey.

Getting into a lot of my accounts without that is near impossible.

The other common misconception we basically already touched on but let’s touch on it again. It’s not trusting the vendor. 

First of all, go with a vendor you do trust. 

We know that 1Password is a reputable company. They’ve been around for a while.

We know that LastPass is a reputable company. They’ve been around for a while. 

We know that KeePass is reputable because it’s open source software. It’s been vetted and you can see lots of major security people use it. 

We know that these are trustworthy. 

We also know that iCloud is trustworthy. Although I’m still going to recommend you don’t use that.

I recommend you don’t use Firefox has because they’re also trustworthy but these browser ones. I’ve already given you reasons not to use them. 

You want to go with these companies that are dedicated to password management because that’s their whole business and they’re putting everything into making sure that you are safe.

If they’re not putting everything into it, because they do have other stuff,  at least  that’s their main priority. That’s what they’re focused on. That’s what’s going to have the most man-hours on it.

Closing Remarks

All right. I think that wraps it up. You can find me at YourSecure.Life. 

You can check out the episode transcripts. There’s going to be a video if you’d like to see my messy office. There’s also show notes with links to anything mentioned. 

This podcast isn’t sponsored by anybody, so if you could please share it around that would be great. 

If you know anybody who could use this: please, please send it on to them. 

We do not intend on ever taking sponsors. I don’t like commercials myself.  It’s so annoying when you’re listening to a podcast and you have to skip through commercials.

It just sucks. 

I don’t want commercials. I’m not going to have sponsors. 

The best way you can help is to help spread the word.

I will see you next week.

Hey there, my name is Garrett and I am a privacy consultant and OSINT investigator. 

[00:00:14] You’re listening to Your Secure Life, a podcast to help individuals and small businesses remain private and secure on the internet.

[00:00:23] Episode transcripts can be found at YourSecure.Life. 

[00:00:28] While you’re there, don’t forget to sign up for our free guide on how to clean up your digital footprint in five days or less.

[00:00:35] You can get started even quicker at YourSecure.Life/guide.  

[00:00:43] All right, welcome. I’m Garrett, your host for this podcast. 

[00:00:46] This is the introduction episode. So I’m going to keep it short and sweet. 

[00:00:50] I don’t want to keep you from the good stuff. 

[00:00:52] This podcast is meant for people who are new to, or fairly amateur when it comes to cyber security and personal privacy.

[00:00:59] It focuses on small businesses and individuals. 

[00:01:03] All of the information you’ll learn here will apply to everybody whether you’re a CEO or a stay-at-home mom. 

[00:01:09] It’ll benefit small mom-and-pop shops as well as multinational conglomerates. 

[00:01:14] That said, this podcast is not focused on advanced topics such as how to fully secure an office or business with hundreds or thousands of employees.

[00:01:24] If you’re that big, this podcast will not be advanced enough to give your business the complete security it requires. I recommend you hire an IT team for that. 

[00:01:33] But if you’re an individual looking to keep yourself safe for a small business that doesn’t know what you need or where to start you’re in the right place.

[00:01:40] If you’re a small business who doesn’t think you need privacy and cyber security: you should know that cyber attacks against businesses increased by around four hundred percent last year (2018-2019). 

[00:01:50] Sixty percent of small businesses hit with a cyberattack go out of business within six months of the cyber attack.

[00:01:57] Whether a small business or an individual, a cyberattack against you can cost thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of headaches.

[00:02:04] For individuals, this usually comes in the form of identity theft, but it could be so much more. 

[00:02:09] If you think to yourself, “I’m nobody. Why would they target me?” They can and they will and there’s an episode for you.  

[00:02:16] If you think “I have nothing to hide,” please immediately email me your full name, date of birth, social security number, and bank login information.

[00:02:25] Oh, hey, it looks like you do have something to hide! There’s an episode for you.  

[00:02:30] In the first episode we talk about password management. 

[00:02:33] To me, this is the bare minimum you should be doing, which is why it’s first. 

[00:02:38] Plus to be honest, it makes life easier. There’s not even a big learning curve. You’ll be up and running in a few minutes and it’s going to improve your life a lot. You’ll see. 

[00:02:46] We’ll also cover topics such as how to choose a good password, two-factor authentication, virtual private networks or vpns, encryption, social media security and privacy, how to safely show off your life and vacations to make your friends jealous, and even touch on some subjects such as how to keep your WordPress website safe and secure from hackers.

[00:03:07] All right. I feel like this introduction episode has taken up enough time.
