Season 1

We all make mistakes, and last week I made a mistake with sharing my screen. So, here is a redo on how to determine the safety of a website.
Last week you saw my notes for the episode and today you will see how I use R.O.S.E.'s website to show you what to look for and some online sources you can use to determine the safety of websites.

00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.000
show for anyone who wants to protect themselves and their

loved ones from scams. Every Tuesday am Pacific time on

19
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.640
here is your host, Joyce Petrowski.

20
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.959
Hi, everyone, welcome back to let's talk about scams. I'm

21
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.799
your host, Joyce Petrowski, founder of Rose Resources Outreach to

22
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:35.400
Safeguard the Elderly. So last week's show was how do

23
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:41.000
I want to say? Probably was not that of a website.

24
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.959
And I'm going to go through and share my screen

25
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.439
and I'm going to use our website, Rose Advocacy as

26
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.439
an example when I go through these different tips. And

27
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.079
so this week you're going to be able to actually

28
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.519
see me sharing my screen and doing all of this

29
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.799
versus last week. And I apologize for this. I clicked

30
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.400
the wrong thing and all you saw were my notes

31
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.719
up on the screen the whole time while I was talking.

32
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:12.120
And I'll show you real quick.

33
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.400
I always at the beginning of every show, I always

34
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.039
say about going to our website and signing up for

35
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:18.120
our email newsletters.

36
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.000
I'll show you where that's at the.

37
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:24.960
Social media links, and then also where there's some different resources.

38
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:29.199
So I'm going to start sharing and I'm going to

39
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:38.000
go into the Rose Advocacy website and I'm going to

40
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.919
go through and so first of all, just really quick,

41
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.120
We've got our resources tab over here and you can

42
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:45.599
come down.

43
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:46.919
You can look at our supporters.

44
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.199
There's different articles, videos, We've got a bunch of testimonials,

45
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:56.759
some downloadable resources, our previous newsletters, and we've got some

46
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:58.719
media on there as well.

47
00:02:58.800 --> 00:02:59.960
But you can go down to.

48
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:06.360
Well, here's our social media links at the top, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram,

49
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:12.599
and then YouTube, and then if you scroll down on

50
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.719
the homepage here, this is where I tell you about

51
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.439
signing up for the newsletters you'll see down here at

52
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.919
the bottom. You can subscribe to our email list. Once

53
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.800

54
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.400
our mailed newsletters. So we need your first and last

55
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:31.039
name in your address in order to in your email,

56
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.479
and then we will add you to our mailed newsletters

57
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.520
that go out the beginning of every month. We also

58
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.439
down here have a button called archives, and that has some.

59
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.599
Old articles.

60
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.120
From different sources where you can actually go in and

61
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.719
look at those articles on a wide variety of safety

62
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:57.599
topics and different scam topics. So now let's get back

63
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.560
to how to determine the safety of a website. So

64
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:03.879
you can check the URL.

65
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.000
So this is Roseadvocacy dot org.

66
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.719
And if you click on this toggle switch here it

67
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.719
says view site information. So I'm going to click on

68
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.680
that sometimes if you don't see the toggle switch. You

69
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:22.040
might see a padlock icon. We have a padlock here,

70
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:26.000
but that's our logo here. Sometimes you might see a

71
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.879
padlock up here. It's the same thing. If you hover

72
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.120
over it, it'll say view site information. You click on

73
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.319
it and you can come down here. It says connection

74
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:37.639
is secure and you can click on it to find

75
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:43.120
out more information about how the information is private when

76
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.279
it's sent to this site. Learn more. You can learn

77
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:52.000
more about that certificate is valid. So that's a certificate

78
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.959
that I would have had to have purchased through where

79
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.720
I got my domain, and I got the Rose Advocacy

80
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.160
domain through godat and they have options where you can

81
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:07.759
purchase security certificates. I believe it's the acronymus SSL for it.

82
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.199
And it's not that expensive, just like buying a domain

83
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.279
is not that expensive. And so we're hearing more and

84
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:21.959
more that scammers are they actually will build fake websites.

85
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.920
And so if you're looking at the website up here,

86
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.319
you know Rosadvocacy dot org, and you know that you're

87
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.199
gonna go to roses website, you know your your your

88
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.680
your mind and your naked eye might read Rose Advocacy

89
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.240
because you know that's the website, but scammers will they'll

90
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:49.360
buy a domain that maybe And I'm trying to look

91
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.199
at some of these letters to see if they changed

92
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.680
it a certain way. Where so, for instance, this first

93
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.399
letter this are, Well, if they changed it to a

94
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.439
lowercase end, would you really see that difference? Uh?

95
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:05.920
There?

96
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.480
If they change this O to a zero, you probably

97
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.240
would see it because the zero is going to be

98
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.920
a lot bigger than this than the O. But you

99
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.439
can see they they might just take one letter and

100
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.040
change it to a number. They might change a letter

101
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:26.240
to a different letter, just a really slight difference that

102
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.800
maybe your naked eye is not going to see it.

103
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.519
And so a lot of times, if you take all

104
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:37.480
of these these letters here, letters and or numbers.

105
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.160
Whatever makes up the website, the domain, and.

106
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:45.000
You write each one down as an individual character, and

107
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.600
then look at those individual characters to see if they

108
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.240
make sense, that's going to help you as well. And

109
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.480
so yes, this looking here at the security you know

110
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.639
you can see if the website is secure, the certific

111
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.639
the security certificate is valid, all of that stuff. But

112
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.519
as scammer's evolved, and we've talked a lot about this,

113
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.279
the month of May in our show, they evolve in

114
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.319
their techniques, and one of the ways is, you know,

115
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:14.240
they evolved by creating these fake websites and they make

116
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:19.560
the domain look so close to what the real legitimate

117
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:22.800
domain is. Is that especially if you're in a hurry,

118
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.120
if you've got, you know, three different things going on

119
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.079
and you glance at it, you know your naked eye

120
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.000
might not see those differences. So helping helping you identify

121
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.199
those really slight differences in the domain name, writing down

122
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:41.639
each character is really going to help you. Some people

123
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.839
have even told me what they do is they write

124
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.720
everything down backwards, or they look at it backwards, they

125
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:51.959
read it to themselves backwards, and that might help you

126
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:57.439
to try that as well. So we already talked about

127
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.839
this toggle switch, the padlock. I I'm going to go

128
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:05.600
back to this padlock here. Cookies and site data. You

129
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.399
can go in there and you can say that it

130
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:12.079
says cookies and other site data use to remember you,

131
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:15.519
for example, to sign you in or to personalize ads.

132
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.879
If you want to manage those cookies for all sites.

133
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:25.120
You go to your settings and they have a a if.

134
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:25.720
I click.

135
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.399
Just look at what your settings are and change them

136
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:34.360
as you see fit there.

137
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:36.799
Let me get back into that.

138
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:43.200
I think that was it there, Yeah, that was it

139
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:47.799
on the cookies and then site settings down here you

140
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.399
can get into this and it's going to give you

141
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:57.399
a lot of different information like permissions for location. I've

142
00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:00.320
got it set to ask, that's the default, and if

143
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:04.840
you click here, if you say allow, then if you

144
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.159
go to get on a website and the website wants

145
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.200
to track your location, if you've got it as allow,

146
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:13.799
it's going to automatically allow it. Or you can click

147
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.679
block and it'll automatically block the website from tracking your location.

148
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:24.360
Or you can have ask and it'll ask you. It'll

149
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.360
give you the prompt that they want to track your location,

150
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.240
and you can say yes or no to it.

151
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:31.360
You can say allow it.

152
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:36.480
I think the choices are allow always, allow, or allow

153
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:43.120
this time only or block it. But you can go

154
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.960
down through all of this location, camera, microphone motion, all

155
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:52.440
kinds of stuff all down through here. And for insecure content,

156
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:58.080
I have block automatically block on that, so you can

157
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.360
change to to whatever whatever.

158
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:05.600
You feel comfortable with.

159
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.120
And this actually if you go back to all sites,

160
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:10.679
it's going to come down and it's going to give

161
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:14.200
you all these sites that you've been on recently and

162
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:16.840
how many cookies are there, and you can go down

163
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.720
and you can go down and get rid of all

164
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:23.120
the cookies individual ones that are here, if you understand

165
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:25.799
what all of these are, or if maybe you want

166
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:28.600
to clear cookies on some of these sites. Maybe you

167
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:32.559
got on a site once for some particular reason and

168
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.879
it's not a site that you usually go to, so

169
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.879
you could just go over here and hit the trash

170
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.000
can and it's going to delete the site data and

171
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:44.519
the permissions for it's going to delete all of it

172
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.279
instead of having to go down into these individual thirty

173
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.440
seven cookies and delete them. Or you just might want

174
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.159
to get rid of everything for all of these websites again,

175
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.080
and these are by these are the most visited ones.

176
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.279
You can go down and look at the data stored

177
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:05.360
ones or by name and check all of that. Let

178
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.080
me see here, I think that might have been that.

179
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:11.440
That was the last thing on that. Another thing they

180
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:14.720
say you can do to check the security and safety

181
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.279
of a site is kind of look down through the

182
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:21.080
homepage and and look at what they have on here.

183
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.799
And you know, again this was one of the older ways,

184
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:27.679
you know, check for grammatical errors, poor spelling, awkward phrasings,

185
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.320
all kinds of stuff like that. You go down through ours,

186
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:32.799
you're going to see there's really not you know, misspelled

187
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.440
there's not misspelled words or grammatical errors or stuff like that.

188
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:41.320
But with the advent of artificial intelligence, and part of

189
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.240
that is the chat GBT, and I think.

190
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.960
There's co pilot, there's there's a bunch of.

191
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:54.759
There's a bunch of generative text artificial intelligence sources, and

192
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.440
and so that's where this kind of ties into how

193
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.480
you know, previously you could tell when an email came

194
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:04.480
through or a text, or if you got something in

195
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.519
the mail and it just had really bad grammar, that

196
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:10.080
was your telltale sign that that was a scam. Well,

197
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:15.799
with all these generative text websites, this artificial intelligence, scammers

198
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:19.679
are using that just like we use it, and they're

199
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.639
using it to create to what really looks like legitimate websites.

200
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.960
So you might not find that there's a lot of

201
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:32.440
grammatical errors or misspellings or you know, the awkward phrasing

202
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.879
and stuff like that, because now artificial intelligence is helping

203
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:40.799
them correct of all of these errors and making the

204
00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:47.480
website look a lot more legitimate. You can also contact information.

205
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:49.600
You know, we have ours all the way down here

206
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:53.000
at the bottom. We have our mailing address, our phone number,

207
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:58.399
we have an efex. Our email is down here. You

208
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:02.039
know the copyright, who designed and is hosting the website.

209
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.360
We've got our disclaimer down here, so you know a

210
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.200
lot of you can look at those things as well.

211
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.879
The thing that really helps, and you know another thing

212
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:13.559
is they say to go to the Better Business Bureau,

213
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:19.360
right because some people if they've found that it's a

214
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.759
you know, not a good website, it's a fraudulent website,

215
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:26.600
or maybe it's a it's a website, maybe it is

216
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.120
an actual company but they're just using aggressive sales tactics

217
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.159
to get business and stuff like that, so that they

218
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.120
might report them to the Better Business Bureau file a complaint.

219
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:38.360
So you can also check them out there. But I

220
00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:40.720
think these online tools that I'm going to go through

221
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.639
next can be very very helpful, and I'm gonna I'm

222
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.399
gonna type them in here and I'm.

223
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:47.120
Going to use.

224
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:53.039
My website Rose Advocacy to to go in and look

225
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:55.120
it up. So the first one is going to be

226
00:13:55.720 --> 00:14:00.840
it's called the U R L Void dot com, so

227
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:04.480
yourelvoid dot com. You see, I've gotten into it before,

228
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:10.120
so it automatically came up and this is you'll see here.

229
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:13.759
It's a website reputation checker. Now I did this last

230
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.080
week and it came up that there was everything was good,

231
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:20.480
and I've been making.

232
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:21.879
Some changes to the website.

233
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:24.000
So I'm going to put my website name in here,

234
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.200
and I'm going to say scan website, and this is

235
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:32.039
going to come up and give you a bunch of

236
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.720
different information about the website. So you can see the

237
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:40.759
website address, Roseadvocacy dot org. They last analyzed it three

238
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.720
months ago. You could actually tell it to rescan again.

239
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.720
Detection counts zero out of thirty nine, so there's thirty

240
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:50.919
nine different things they're going to scan for and they

241
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:53.080
didn't find us on any of them, which is good.

242
00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:56.120
And we'll go in and we'll look at some of

243
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.639
those places. You can look at when I registered the domain,

244
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:06.320
and our incorporation date was August twenty first of twenty

245
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:12.240
twenty one, or August twenty third, twenty twenty one, anyways,

246
00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:14.960
but you'll see here where I bought the domain August

247
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:17.000
twenty seventh, twenty twenty one.

248
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:18.000
Makes sense.

249
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.960
It's within a week of when we actually were incorporated

250
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:24.320
in the state of Arizona.

251
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:26.960
You can see the IP address.

252
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:32.960
You can see who our web hosting is here, the

253
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:36.720
server locations in the United States. So that's a good thing.

254
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:38.759
You can tell if it's in the United States or

255
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:43.480
if it's in another country. Not saying that if a

256
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.360
server is in another country that it's necessarily a bad thing,

257
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.039
but you can tell there. This is just a Google

258
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:59.960
map and then a lot of personal identify viable information

259
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:05.080
and you're not going to see here. But then the

260
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:07.600
scanning engines down here, this is what I told you

261
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.279
up here were these zero out of thirty nine, so

262
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:14.039
detection counts the thirty nine different. So you're gonna they

263
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:21.679
scanned all of these different engines and it says here

264
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.120
nothing found on all of these green check mark nothing found.

265
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:28.919
Everything's in green. Now we can go in and view

266
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:33.200
more details. So a bitdefender, let's go in there and

267
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:38.440
we can view more details. And it has the Rose

268
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:42.559
Advocacy website. We haven't seen any suspicious activity from this website,

269
00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:44.039
so that's good.

270
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:49.559
Green check mark. All of these.

271
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.159
Different things will tell you when they come up with

272
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:54.159
these different icons what that means so the one of

273
00:16:54.200 --> 00:17:00.200
these website may contain malware. Here the icon, the website

274
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.720
is classified as phishing. Here this website pretends to be

275
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.359
a financial institution. You can see here how it's instead

276
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:10.920
of b A n K, it's b NAK, so it's

277
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:13.079
a fake bank website.

278
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:15.160
You can look here. Escro scam.

279
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.720
They've got all these icons right, represents a Facebook scam.

280
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:20.680
So you've got the face the f.

281
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:26.519
Reversed again hosted phishing attack in the last ninety days.

282
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.200
Another icon.

283
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:32.720
Was found in unsolicited email messages, and so they'll have

284
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:36.240
this email icon. So just a bunch of different things

285
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:40.559
that they're going to look for. And so now I'm

286
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:44.480
going to go back to here and I'm going to

287
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.640
pull up another one. See if I so look here cybercrime.

288
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:55.880
Let's go look at cybercrime view more details. And that's interesting.

289
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.720
I have it says no result for Roseada becausey which

290
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:02.960
is great because I really don't want to be on

291
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.400
I don't want to come up on this on this

292
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.720
cyber crime tracker. But if a cop, if if a

293
00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:12.839
website did, you're going to have a bunch of information here.

294
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:20.119
Let me go and look at another one fake website

295
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:32.079
built buster. Let's go look at that. Oh this is interesting.

296
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:35.440
Your connection is not private and you can see up here.

297
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:42.799
So it gave me a warning says not secure here,

298
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:47.119
and I could go into advance to learn more, but

299
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.000
I don't necessarily you can still go to it, but

300
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.480
I want to go back to safety. So I'm just

301
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:56.519
going to go back to safety, and I'm going to

302
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:01.640
go back here and let's look up here. Let's look

303
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:15.000
up fishing database. See what comes up there. So this

304
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:22.480
is just a bunch of fishing domain data. Oh, this

305
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:25.119
is I think they're coming up with a bunch of

306
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:33.039
different It'll tell you if you've you've come up in

307
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:43.319
any of these fishing links. Some of these is they

308
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:47.319
have a lot of technical uh jargon on here. So

309
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:51.240
let me see what some of these other ones are.

310
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:55.960
I haven't been into a lot of these. But the

311
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:58.119
one thing you want to look for, as I said earlier,

312
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:00.440
is right here. You don't want to be found on

313
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:05.160
any of these scanning engines or you know, if the

314
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:07.720
website you're trying to determine if it's safe or not

315
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.079
and it's secure, something does come up. You can go

316
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:13.400
into these few more details and you can look and

317
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:18.400
see what this what the scanning engines said about them.

318
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:21.559
So that's one thing you can do. Another thing here

319
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:26.839
is they the domain information? You could go into this

320
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:38.359
who is look up and it tells you right pains

321
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:42.119
police records. Interesting, okay, but I'm going to put my

322
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.759
domain in there. Click that you're not a robot. Click

323
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:51.400
the who is look up and it's going to give

324
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:54.640
you some information about that's just an ad.

325
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:58.200
Don't worry about that. All that.

326
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:02.599
Jargon up there, But now you can get some more

327
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:06.960
information about the actual domain Roseadvocacy dot org. It's going

328
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:09.759
to give you the domain id, the server and I

329
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:12.799
purchased it at go daddy, and so that's the who

330
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:15.440
is server is at go daddy, so that makes sense.

331
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:21.039
The last time they updated it was November twenty fifth

332
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:25.440
of twenty four. Again, this creation date matches with what

333
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:29.000
we looked at on the previous screen for the domain

334
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:33.000
reputation that it was created on August twenty seventh, twenty

335
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.920
twenty one. I renew it every year, the domain, and

336
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:40.319
so right now it expires on August twenty seventh, twenty

337
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:43.480
twenty five. So sometime between now and then, I will

338
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:45.680
go in and I'll renew it for another year and

339
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:50.039
then that'll get updated to twenty twenty six. The registrars

340
00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:53.640
GoDaddy dot com LLC. That makes sense because the server

341
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:56.160
is up here at go Daddy. You're going to get

342
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.279
some information about the registrar at go Daddy. If you

343
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:02.480
want to report abuse, here is how to do it

344
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:04.960
and the phone number. But then you're going to see

345
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:09.039
this redacted down here on a lot of this information.

346
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:14.759
And that's because there years ago there was a bill

347
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:19.240
or a law enacted that said you have to really

348
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:23.839
restrict the personal identifiable information, and so they've it's not

349
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:26.480
that it's not there, it is, it's just you can't

350
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:28.400
see it because it's been redacted.

351
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:30.480
All this personal identifiable information.

352
00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:38.240
And that's for the registrant, that's for the admin, you know,

353
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:43.559
the tech name, all of that's been redacted. So and

354
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:47.920
I recognize this here cloud Fair that's my cybersecurity, my

355
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:53.119
cybersecurity company that monitors this laptop that I use and

356
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:54.359
monitors everything.

357
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:55.519
That's one of the.

358
00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:57.839
Softwares that they use as cloud Fare. So it makes

359
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:03.279
sense that this would come up. Let's see and it

360
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:06.160
tells you here if you want more information on status codes.

361
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:10.799
You can go to this website, so just really quickly

362
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:13.400
to give you an idea of the who is and

363
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:16.079
what data is stored. It's a public database that hosts

364
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:20.160
the information collected when someone registers a domain name. A

365
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:27.119
domain name is an Internet address, a website address. And

366
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:29.799
actually I could go in and type in for here

367
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:33.799
Rosadvocacy dot net instead of dot org, because I purchased

368
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:36.960
the dot net one, and you'll see the same information

369
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:44.079
coming up as well. Let's see here it's monitored by

370
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:48.519
the International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. It goes

371
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:56.599
back to nineteen eighty two. And then the bunch of

372
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:02.160
information on how to install it. And I'm not even

373
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:05.200
going to begin to tell you what all of this,

374
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:09.480
how to install it and all that. That's where you

375
00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:13.839
need to have a really good website host person that

376
00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:16.240
can go in and do all this for you. But

377
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:22.680
let me see what one of these other ones are. Oh,

378
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:27.160
the Google Transparency Reports. So I'm going to go into

379
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:31.559
the website here for Google Transparency Report.

380
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:42.799
Oops. There it is Transparencyreport dot Google.

381
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:45.640
Dot com Safe hyphen browsing.

382
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:50.279
So I'm going to go in. Oops, don't know what

383
00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:51.000
I did there?

384
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:08.799
Okay, all right, So this is Google Safe Browsing Site status.

385
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:09.319
Again.

386
00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:16.440
You can go in and you can put in a

387
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:26.480
website address and no available data. That's interesting because last

388
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:29.119
time I put it in, it came up and said

389
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:34.519
that it was safe. So I'm wondering why if there's

390
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:40.640
something there, we go no unsafe content found. So that's

391
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:43.920
what you want to see on the website that you

392
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:48.400
put in there. You know, I can put in I

393
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.200
don't know. Let me put in Amazon and.

394
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:52.000
See what happens.

395
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.279
I haven't done this before, so we're gonna all find

396
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:07.400
out dot com see what happens here? Oh?

397
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:07.960
Here it is.

398
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:11.039
So it's hard to provide a simple safety status for

399
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:14.160
sites like Amazon, which have a lot of content. Sites

400
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:18.240
that are generally safe sometimes contain some unsafe content like

401
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:25.319
blogs or comments. So it says check a specific directory

402
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:28.240
or web page. So you probably would have to go

403
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:33.000
into a specific page and find that address and put

404
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:33.480
that in there.

405
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:34.920
Because Amazon is huge.

406
00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:40.480
They're just they're a huge website and with all of

407
00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:42.759
the orders and all the products and stuff they have.

408
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:47.680
So those are three different ways to check this Google

409
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:53.240
Safe Browsing this who is look up online where you

410
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:57.759
can find out a lot of information about the about

411
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:03.359
the website itself, see if everything makes sense. And then

412
00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:08.680
also you can go on here again that's the URL

413
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:12.000
void and I went there first. And then for the

414
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:14.079
who is part of it, I went in and clicked

415
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:16.039
right here on the who is look up was where

416
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:21.240
I found this information about the Rose Advocacy website. And

417
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:24.400
you can see that everything kind of coordinates with both

418
00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:27.759
of them. And then go down here and make sure

419
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:30.960
there's nothing found green check marks, nothing found on all

420
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:37.680
these thirty nine. So these are I think, I don't

421
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:41.079
want to say better, but yes you want to, you know,

422
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.000
look at the URL and make sure that every character

423
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:48.160
and there is does make up the legitimate URL. Look

424
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:53.359
at the padlock icon or this toggle icon, and go

425
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:56.200
in and check out the secure connection. You can do

426
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:02.440
the cookies, site settings, all of that stuff, and you know,

427
00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:06.119
verify the contact information that that looks legitimate and all that.

428
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:09.200
But to take it to the next step to verify

429
00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:12.400
the security. You know, if you want to bypass all

430
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.720
this that we talked about here, looking at the security connection,

431
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:19.440
the cookies, all of that stuff, looking for the at

432
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:24.000
the content, looking at reviews, things like that, go straight

433
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:26.279
to the online tools, or you can do all of them,

434
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:31.599
but the online tools here and this one, and then

435
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:35.279
the safe brows Google safe browsing. These are just added

436
00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:39.559
ways that because scammers evolve, right and we talked about

437
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:42.839
that earlier about how they can it's it's inexpensive to

438
00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:45.960
bio domain and then to buy the security certificate for it,

439
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:48.839
so they can do that with a fake website and

440
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:50.960
it's going to come up and say the connection secure

441
00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:53.880
and all of that stuff. And so if you take

442
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:56.799
these added steps to go in and see if anything

443
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:01.359
comes up in these detection counts where they've found anything,

444
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:06.079
you know, with recent scans, it's.

445
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:07.680
A it's a good thing to do that.

446
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:10.680
It doesn't take that long, and it's just some added

447
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:15.079
steps to determine the safety and security of a website.

448
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.960
But then don't forget to when you're looking at the

449
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:24.200
up here, the domain, the ur L here. Some people

450
00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:26.599
actually look at this and they read it backwards to

451
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:32.759
see that make sense, or they write down the letters backwards.

452
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:33.480
You know.

453
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.279
Some people they say that helps them. Other people they

454
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:40.599
want to write down each individual character. So they're going

455
00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:42.880
to look at it and go, okay, that's an r

456
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:46.759
that's an O, that's an S, that's an E, and

457
00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:48.480
go through and write it down and then look at

458
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:51.000
each character to see that yes, then it does make

459
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:54.440
sense because there could be just a very very slight

460
00:29:54.640 --> 00:30:00.559
difference in this URL that would then take you to

461
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:07.000
a not secure, possibly a scammer's website because your naked

462
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.720
eyes reading Rose Advocacy, because that's what your mind's looking for,

463
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:13.759
and you might not see those little nuances. So looking

464
00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:17.519
at each individual character. And one of the examples I

465
00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:20.880
give in the presentations is and I'm not picking on Amazon,

466
00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:25.279
but it's scammers love to impersonate Amazon. They're a huge,

467
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:30.359
reputable company. Almost everybody has an Amazon account, whether they

468
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:33.960
use it once in a while on a regular basis,

469
00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:36.519
or set up the account and have never used it,

470
00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:39.799
they have an account. And so scammers know that when

471
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:45.039
they send these phishing emails or these schmishing texts out

472
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.119
to try to get you to call the number, click

473
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:56.319
on the link you to engage with them, they know

474
00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:59.240
that they're going to have a higher chance of getting

475
00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:01.799
more people to engage with them because there's so many

476
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:05.119
people that have Amazon accounts. So the example that I

477
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:09.119
give with that is you know the Amazon website is

478
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:10.480
a M, A Z O N.

479
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:12.000
But you know what if it's.

480
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:15.359
A R N and so the R and the N

481
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.799
instead of the M, are you going to notice that

482
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:21.839
little difference there with Is your naked eye going to

483
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:24.880
see that that's an R and an N rs and

484
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:28.680
Robert N is in Nancy versus the M as in Mary.

485
00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:32.319
It might not because to your naked eye, your mind's

486
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:37.440
thinking Amazon. You might read Amazon. So that's where it's

487
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:40.799
good to write down the individual characters. You'd be more

488
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:44.599
apt to see that that is an R and an

489
00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:47.720
N and and.

490
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:48.640
Not the M like it should be.

491
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:53.480
Some There's another thing when you're when you're browsing on

492
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:59.160
the on the internet is there's what's called incognito mode,

493
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:07.000
and you can so your browser. Let's see here it

494
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:14.599
says for to open a new incognito window in UH

495
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:20.799
you press control shift and as in Nancy, And that's

496
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:27.880
on a that is on the anything but a Mac,

497
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:32.799
and you would use command instead of control, so it'd

498
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:35.880
be command shift and is in Nancy on a Mac,

499
00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:39.839
and it opens up a new incognito window in Chrome,

500
00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:44.279
or you can go to the browser menu in Chrome

501
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:50.079
or Firefox and I believe that's over here, these three

502
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:51.920
right here, Yeah, these three.

503
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:52.880
I'm in Chrome.

504
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:56.559
So these three dots over here on the far right

505
00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:59.079
that ask if you want a new tab, a new window.

506
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:02.279
Here's a new INC window. There's a bunch of other

507
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:06.480
things down here as well. But and that's where it's

508
00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:09.319
the I have a mac here, So it's a control

509
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:13.200
or no, I'm sorry, it's the command shift and then end.

510
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:15.880
But if you just click here, it then opens up

511
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:19.319
you've gone in cognito, and so it tells you what

512
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:22.880
that is. Others who use this device won't see your activity,

513
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:28.599
so you can browse more privately. One of the a

514
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:30.599
reason why you might want to do this is if

515
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:33.039
you know, you and your spouse or you and the

516
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:38.599
kids share a device, and you're planning a surprise party,

517
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:41.359
or it's you know, a celebration is coming up and

518
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:43.599
you want to get them a gift, and you don't

519
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:48.440
necessarily want them to see what you've been searching for

520
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:51.799
the gift or planning the party. Then you could do

521
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:57.119
it in cognito modes. So then whoever your child, your partner,

522
00:33:57.200 --> 00:33:59.480
your spouse goes to get on your device after you

523
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:02.000
were they won't be able to see what you've been browsing,

524
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:06.640
and so it also says this won't change how the

525
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:09.480
data is collected by the website you visit and the

526
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:13.920
services they use, you know, including Google downloads, bookmarks, and

527
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:17.840
reading item list items that'll all still be saved. But

528
00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:22.280
Chrome won't save your browsing history. It won't save cookies

529
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:26.960
and site data and information entered in forms. But your

530
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.960
activity might still be visible to the websites that you visit,

531
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:35.199
your employer, school, if you have, you know, your internet

532
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:40.199
service provider, So do you have a work computer or

533
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:43.639
you're a student and have a computer given to you

534
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:48.039
through the school, They very well could have protocols on

535
00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:54.039
those computers where they can see your activity. You can

536
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:58.880
also block third party cookies when on the sites can't

537
00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:03.039
use cookies that track you across the web, so you

538
00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:06.079
can that's turned off there, I had it turned on,

539
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:09.119
and so that that's another way.

540
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:09.639
Again.

541
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:13.840
The one big difference with incognito, you know we talked about.

542
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:18.199
Is and I want to find it on here.

543
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:26.719
That you don't need to worry about clear clearing your

544
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:30.360
history or your cash or your cookies because the private

545
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:33.960
browsing modes don't save your browsing history, your cashed pages,

546
00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:35.920
or cookies, so there's nothing to delete.

547
00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:38.519
So if you are one that.

548
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:44.960
Is on a regular basis going in and deleting your cookies,

549
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:49.719
for instance, this is a way where the cookies won't

550
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:52.199
get tracked. And so then you don't need to go

551
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:56.000
in and delete the cookies because they're they're not tracking them.

552
00:35:56.159 --> 00:36:00.440
And sometimes I know when I'll go to get on

553
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:12.199
like my website, after my website guy host website developer

554
00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:15.079
has made changes, like, for instance, he just made a

555
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:17.599
bunch of changes last week on the website.

556
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:20.440
But sometimes I'll go in and I'll look.

557
00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:23.079
At things to see what it looks like, how the

558
00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:27.039
changes got made and things like that, and it won't

559
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:31.920
read correctly or it just looks weird, And so I'll

560
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:34.559
send a note to the website guy and say, hey,

561
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:36.280
I take a screenshot.

562
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:37.760
This is what comes up, and this is weird.

563
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:39.920
It's not supposed to do this, and he'll say, have

564
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:44.079
you cleaned have you cleared out your cash recent recently? Sorry,

565
00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:49.960
have you cleared out your cash recently? And that's the cacche.

566
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:54.639
And so if you are browsing incognito and stuff it

567
00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:57.039
doesn't track and it doesn't keep the cash, so then

568
00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:59.239
you don't have to go in and clear it out,

569
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:01.400
but it can if you don't clear that out on

570
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:04.320
a regular basis, it can kind of change a little

571
00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:08.519
bit on what you're seeing, or it might make a

572
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:13.079
website that you're usually on do something different that's not

573
00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:16.159
what you're used to. And that's about all I can

574
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:24.440
get into on that aspect of it, because I don't

575
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:27.519
really I'm not a techie person that knows exactly what

576
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:29.440
all the cash is.

577
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:34.599
So just remember that on how to get in and.

578
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:39.719
Go to an incognito window and it'll say incognito up

579
00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:42.760
here as well. You just click on. If you're on Chrome,

580
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:45.960
you can just click on these three dots and go

581
00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:51.039
into a new incognito window. There this says you're incognito.

582
00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:54.400
You could close this profile right here and it's going

583
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:56.320
to close that page take me back to where I

584
00:37:56.400 --> 00:37:58.960
was before. But if you're on a Mac, you can

585
00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:03.039
just hit commands shift and as in Nancy. Any any

586
00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:05.800
other device, you're going to do the control shift and

587
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:09.000
then and as in Nancy. So hopefully this helped you,

588
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:13.599
especially being able to see what I was doing to

589
00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:16.599
check the safety and security of websites as I was

590
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:18.960
in real time, as I was doing it with the

591
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:21.800
Rose Advocacy website. This is what you were supposed to

592
00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:24.199
have seen last week. But like I said, I made

593
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:31.639
the mistake of not sharing whole the whole page. I

594
00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:34.519
clicked on just this one tab and it happened to

595
00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:38.440
be the PDF tab that had my notes up on there.

596
00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:41.280
So apologize for that. But the nice thing is we

597
00:38:41.800 --> 00:38:44.159
get to do take two and that's what today is.

598
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:49.159
So thank you for joining us today. And if you

599
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.840
don't remember, you can get on Rose's website and you

600
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:55.559
can find a bunch of resources on this tab here.

601
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:00.119
You can if you're interested in scheduling a presentation and

602
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:03.719

604
00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:09.840
scams if you go on here, this is going to

605
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:16.719
have it's going to have some latest scams. But you

606
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:22.079
can download our Anatomy of a Scam infographic. It also

607
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:26.159
has the IC three, the Internet Crime Complaints Center, the

608
00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:31.480
FBI's Fraud Report here for twenty twenty four. This is

609
00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:33.760
just some We talked about this a couple of weeks

610
00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:36.199
ago on the radio show. But here's the graph that

611
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:43.239
we referenced. If you want to find previous let's see

612
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:49.199
downloadable resources. I think it's here the previous FBI's elder

613
00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:51.239
fraud reports. You can see them here all the way

614
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:55.280
back to two thousand and twenty. And it looks like

615
00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:59.719
twenty twenty might have gotten on there twice so or no,

616
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:01.199
them needs to be twenty two.

617
00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:02.480
This should say twenty two.

618
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:06.880
So anyways, there's just a bunch of different things, downloadable

619
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:09.159
things here that you can go in and look at.

620
00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:11.079
And again you can go down to the bottom of

621
00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:13.400
the page and there's archives, a lot of articles and

622
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:18.679
videos from years back from some curated sources, reliable sources

623
00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:20.599
where we found some information.

624
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:23.440
And go back to the homepage.

625
