Can we all be honest here for a moment, Linus is one of the very few owners of a business that not only gets on camera all the time, but also gets a video out about issues, where he is the only person talking about said issues. The amount of transparency he has is miles above most of the world.

I do not think so, from vlogs about doing projects to their old location (whole room water cooling), to great vlogs about their current location being built. He shares a good 80% of what goes on, has even done a video where talks about how they make their money. He has been on camera all the time, and frankly the only things he does not share are personal info and things that might open a hole into their security. Sure other youtubers might do stuff like this, but he is running a company with several people and still does this.

While he is quite open and transparant, in this vid he basically shuts down any questions about what the actual security issues are, a private email address for your registrar is a bit dumb to do but it's the other stuff that he says he won't talk about... Security through obscurity is no security, hiding your weaknesses works for the majority of people, not for those searching your weaknesses. On the subject, while they're a large commercial company, Cloudflare has released some pretty detailed posts about leaks in their system, in those of connected parties and on attacks on them and their customers, even Defcon talks discussing their approach, internal communication and even their lawyers take on it. LMG definitely is open, but not on the actual info.

...and we were promised a leisure life-style..and jet-packs... Turns out that can only happen if ya can afford the phone company and other utility bills! I was once sold a phone from a close relative to me as said relative had up-graded to the newer, shinier model. Fair enough, I thought and transferred the remaining credit on my old phone to this replacement to the 'new' phone and I registered the 'new' phone with my 'new' number as mine.(relative hadn't bothered). Some time later, said relative phoned me late one New Years Night, quite late, needing to know exactly what my balance was. Obviously I did not give that out. Glad I didn't as, when I phoned the phone provider next day, turns out that said relative was trying to hack and empty my account. I'm disabled, y'see, and no effs were given by said very close relative. It's now a pass-worded account, even to speak to said costly machines to access the humans on the other side of the phone company's internal exchange/server now and they ask it again. Sad when ya can't trust a sibling. (Say No to voice-responding wi-fi/LAN connected speakers and think twice about the ISP access, esp. if you use it for work matters!!) Please excuse the overly-long 'tale of near woe' and inter-necine fraud.

There isn't much to say, really: - Never say more than you need to. (why does your twitter account need to know where you live or where you are right now?). I don't even tell most accounts that I'm a man. - use different passwords for different accounts. A trick I use is: my passwords are sentences in a non-english language with the spaces replaced by different signs. These are long and for a computer unbreakable. - don't store your passwords anywhere on any device that can somehow transmit data. Books are best, but if you have many accounts that you often switch passwords with for safety, it can be a hassle. I use a simless smartphone with all signals off. - don't connect your twitter/youtube/google/twitch/paypal account with other accounts, especially if that account contains your address. Any breach in those, is a breach in all. - Don't click suspicious links, they could be IP or password loggers. - ONLY use phone 2 step authentication if it does NOT replace passwords or password recovery. It needs to be an extra layer of defence, not a different route to take. Don't use it on Gmail - Use a different email for very valuable stuff, like paypal - clean cookies and saved forms periodically. - if you expect that anything could be on your computer, immediately run antivirus. - Have a seperate 'spam' email account for account registration. Never make any of them visible. Some are borderline tin foil hats, though. If you lose anything, it can always get recovered. The important thing with a hack is that it stays contained. Easily the most important accounts are payment accounts (paypal and bank) and email. Generally hackers use exploits on sites (or services, like with the identity theft for 2 step authentication) to get data. Make sure that, if they use this, they only can get into one account. This is the only thing you can do since the site's security isn't in your hands.

Recent cell phone system attacks (basically, lack of security in SS7) have proven using phone calls and SMS a poor way to add another authentication factor, but is arguably better than nothing. I would recommend activating RFC 6238 TOTP instead (e.g. Google Authenticator et al) where it is allowed to be used. Then protecting the 2nd factor auth becomes keeping the TOTP seed/initial value/whatever it's called protected/secret. (BTW, Google, might be nice to add a passphrase or PIN to your app so that the items stored in your SQLite DB can't be read meaningfully.)

I'm not positive but given some of the vague context and what I've heard before Amazon gets prickly when you say things like "Use this link to get something from Amazon, we get money from it". Basically, from what I've pieced together in the past, you can use affiliate links and you can say you are an Amazon Affiliate, but you can't say Amazon gives you a slice of the sale and how how big or how much that slice is. My guess is that when they did their vid about how they make money and posted what percentage of their funding is from Amazon Affiliate links someone at Amazon got a bee in their bonnet and nuked them.

One thing you can do to prevent these sort of social engineering attacks is to use an multi-factor authenticator app. This still uses your phone but isn't bound to your phone number, meaning they need the physical device and then have to break into it. A phones login might not be the best authentication system(in fact they're pretty bad) it makes targeted attacks a lot harder, as someone who was targeting you specifically would need to steal your phone.

As someone who does tech support for a "major tablet manufacturer". I can tell you for a fact that social engineering is a MAJOR issue, but we have that drilled into out head that you give out NO info until an account is verified. It's a shame some companies don't drill this into their employees heads.

As an employee for Bell it's ridiculously easy to spoof being someone. The process we do to verify people is look at their drivers liscence and look at their name then say "Yepp. You're you.". it's 100% down to the employee. So chances are it could have been an employee for Bell who did this to you and not just some random guy who walked into a bell store and asked for your sim.

***** Why do hackers /have/ to be nice, good people? Why do they /have/ to be white hat? Your definition of hacking is very different from pretty much anyone else's. They found an exploit in the system, and abused it. Whether or not they made money is irrelevant. I understand when people claim E.g., DDoSers aren't "hackers" (even though some very much are) because that is just simple logic of forcing too much down a small pipe, but again, this is social engineering. It does require effort and it does require finding out how to exploit weak points and where the weak points are.

In the old videos they said "use our amazon affiliate link" which is where they should have stopped, but then they continued with "It gives us a small kick back when you buy something" In the email linus shows in this video, it says they aren't supposed to tell you how it works (so that people can't abuse the system)

"It helps us make more videos like these" -- which implies that the kickback they receive goes towards making videos. It breaks Amazon's rule of disclosing what Amazon referral funds are used for.

after working at a service department of a large mobile network provider I soon realized these text message security checks are extremely vulnerable. It is incredibility easy to get a working simcard with a persons cellphone number with only basic information on that person, such as can be found on facebook over the phone. Also anyone working at a mobile phone provider having access to the basic service IT systems can link any given number to a blank sim easy and practically untraceable (lots of working accounts floating around that belonged to former employee's that where still working perfectly fine at the place I worked at)

Watching this made me remember back when I was switching my SIM card for a one that supports 4g, and it PISSES me the hell of how easy it was. I literally just came into the shop and asked the clerk can I have a new SIM, and all he asked was what's my phone number, and gave me a new one IMMEDIATELY. I hope that by now they have changed the way they handle these situations, but I will surely be more careful about this stuff from now on.

That literally effects NOBODY except those who have issues with their purchases which in my anecdotal experience has literally been never. It does not effect youtubers like linus, try again. Tigerdirect.. dead... LOL. "( think about it. There' s also a valid reason why Steve, Kyle, Paul and others have left the neweggtv channel and it's gone to shit many months ago)" Hmm, I don't remember talking about the NEWEGG KZitem CHANNEL. I think I remember saying being sponsored by the company. Your lack of comprehension skills is painfully obvious. >Preferring amazon for your component purchases.

"TigerDirect is a Miami, Florida-based online retailer dealing in electronics, computers, and computer components that caters to business and corporate customers. Previously owned by Systemax, the brand was known for its acquisitions of the intellectual property of the defunct U.S. retail chains Circuit City and CompUSA, and relaunching them as online retailers. The two brands were subsequently shuttered and consolidated into the TigerDirect site. In 2015, TigerDirect phased out brick-and-mortar retail operations, and PCM Inc. acquired Systemax's online North American retail business." They are still operating. Why don't you fucking spend 2 seconds and Google it.
