I was making a joke while we were at dinner the other night.
How do you get Malware?
Look at the first, SCAN ME, the QR codes.
Two years ago, most of us would never scan a QR code.
COVID happened.
We are excited to go back in restaurants.
Menus have gone away.
We all scan immediately without even thinking about it.
This is the easiest way to get Malware on your device.
You scan.
That's essentially you clicking, like, you're clicking to open.
Be careful.
Now, I say be careful.
I'm going to go to dinner.
I'm going to scan the QR code tonight.
But think about this.
We could have some malicious thing
that we go into a restaurant to play a joke
and put them all on tables.
People will scan it.
Be very careful.
The more open your device is, the more susceptible it is.
I used to always keep Bluetooth turned off
because my Apple Watch, I keep Bluetooth on always.
I also have my AirPods that connect
to all my different devices.
Bluetooth is always on.
Smishing messages that are carefully crafted for you--
so some of these are ridiculous, but this T-Mobile promos one
I think looks pretty good.
There are a few mistakes, though.
So if you're a T-Mobile customer, I would look at this
and think, yeah, that looks pretty good.
We could see the $20.
The sign is behind the 20.
Also, T-Mobile shouldn't have a hyphen in it,
but It looks pretty good.
What is recommended is that you hover above the link
and you check it before you click on it.
The other one--
Apple is looking for iPhone 12 testers.
The first 100 will get an iPhone for free.
No chance Apple's giving you something for free.
Don't ever click those links.
But I get these all the time.
Do you want to shed 25 pounds in three days; click this link.
I always get ones from FedEx too.
A FedEx delivery failed; click on this link.
And sometimes you just get spam, but that is a great way for you
unfortunately to get Malware.
So be very careful.
