    Scamming Elderly People

    This is very despicable and even more when they pretend to be a relative or something. Anyway, if you have elderly relatives, then you should be on guard for them. They can lose a lot via identity theft and other things.

    Have You Been Scammed Online

    I bought a directory website once on Flippa and it was some scam. In fact, it was a bunch of criminals bidding on the site to give it "fake value". Has anyone heard of this type of con?

    Has Your Social Media Account Ever Been Hacked

    Someone posing as me wrote rude messages to other people. Anyway, to prevent this now, I don't open suspicious things along with strong passwords. However, with phone checks, I'd say hacking cases have went down

    How often should you update your passwords, and what makes a password truly secure?

    There is often a guide while you make the password. Note, however, that I make my own difficult passwords. I don't use recommendations cause they're harder to remember.

    What has worked for you? Well, in my case, I don't have any protection, but when I come across spammers, the reaction is to block them. That seems to be enough.

    Forum spam is easy for me to stop. All I do is ask a certain question during user registration. It's a question where I ask users to spell a word backward. It works very well. Has anyone tried that? What might be some pitfalls to that method. Well, one might be not changing the question...
