Ben Franklin famously said, “Distrust and caution are the parents of security.”
Join Stan and Julie as they riff on distrust and caution. In Ben’s time, among the residents in his town of Philadelphia. Among the alliances required to unite the colonies in our war of Independence, while weeding out the spies amongst them. And as Ben also said, “Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.”
We have the same need for “distrust and caution” in our own time when identities on the Internet are so easy to fake and security is so poor. The wiring instructions from the escrow company may be from hackers who have broken into the escrow company’s computers. The Facebook “friend” you follow may be part of a botnet from China or Russia spewing misinformation and disinformation. The person you’ve fallen in love with online may be a scammer who will steal everything you’ve got. Distrust and caution indeed.
As always, Stan and Julie provide actionable tips and thoughtful wisdom in a fun conversation on the complexities of cybersecurity and privacy.
