Could a simple hover save you from a phishing scam? Join us as we unpack essential online safety strategies that could make all the difference in your digital life. In this episode, we demystify the concept of "hover power," a crucial skill in revealing the true nature of links before you click. We'll also break down what HTTPS and the padlock icon mean for your online security through relatable analogies, and alert you to the dangers of long, complicated URLs. To further arm you against cyber threats, we'll introduce you to invaluable tools like Google Safe Browsing and VirusTotal, your personal digital bodyguards.
Don't rush through your online decisions—take a beat to think, because even experts slip up sometimes. Our discussion emphasizes the importance of vigilance and continuous learning to keep up with the ever-evolving landscape of digital threats. You'll hear practical advice on scrutinizing sources and identifying phishing scams, particularly those that create a sense of urgency.
