In this riveting episode, Kirsten and Jeanne sit down with cybersecurity expert Natalie Berthe to unravel the complex world of online security. As a serial entrepreneur, advisor, and cybersecurity strategist, Natalie founded "Cybersecurity for Humans" to make online security more accessible to entrepreneurs. With the increasing prevalence of cyber threats, it's essential to understand the difference between being hacked and hijacked, and to take proactive steps to safeguard your online presence.
Main Talking Points:
1. Understanding Hacked vs. Hijacked: Natalie clarifies the difference between being hacked and hijacked, highlighting three stages: impersonation, hacking, and hijacking. Many people confuse these terms, but they represent distinct levels of intrusion into your digital life.
2. Impersonation and Cloning: Natalie discusses the first stage, impersonation, where cybercriminals steal your photos and personal information to create fake accounts. These fraudulent accounts can then reach out to your friends and connections, often going unnoticed.
3. Hacked Accounts: The hosts and Natalie explain how a hacked account is analogous to a burglar breaking into your house and stealing your belongings. Hackers can access sensitive information, which may lead to financial loss, unauthorized transactions, or even emotional manipulation.
4. Hijacked Accounts: The conversation delves into hijacking, likening it to someone moving into your house, changing the locks, and effectively taking over. Natalie emphasizes the significance of this distinction – hijackers gain full control, and the legitimate account owner is locked out.
5. Motives Behind Hacking: Natalie explains that scammers' endgame is almost always financial gain. They exploit your connections, manipulate your friends, and potentially con them into providing financial assistance or fall for other scams.
6. Protecting Yourself: Natalie offers practical strategies for staying safe online. She emphasizes the importance of using different email addresses for different accounts, as well as employing two-factor authentication for added security. She also highlights the vulnerability of using easily guessable information in your online presence, such as email addresses with birthdays.
7. Course for Comprehensive Protection: As a solution, Natalie introduces her course "Hacked and Hijacked," which equips individuals with the knowledge and tools to protect or recover their accounts from hackers. The course covers major social media platforms and email services, empowering entrepreneurs to safeguard their digital identities.
