https://youtu.be/tFj29gpRqOE This guide (#11 of 14) focuses on Staying Safe on Public Wi-Fi  This prompt makes the abstract idea of an unsecure network understandable by relating it to a common public setting like a coffee shop. Here's the prompt I used to create the lesson: "Develop a straightforward Storybook for seniors about the dangers of public Wi-Fi (like in a cafe or library). Use the analogy that public Wi-Fi is like shouting your information in a crowded room. The guide should clearly teach the rule: Never do banking, shopping, or check sensitive emails on public Wi-Fi. It should encourage waiting until you get home to do those private tasks. Keep the lesson very focused and practical." Key Lesson - The risk of using public Wi-Fi for sensitive activities and when to wait to do banking or shopping. I used Copilot's Storybook to create this lesson, ZOOM's Clips to record the story (lesson) and ScreenPal do any final editing and to upload the lesson to YouT...

Windows has a lot of settings that sound important, but don’t always do what people expect. Activity History is one of those features. Many folks switch it off hoping for a big privacy or security boost. So here’s the plain-English truth — without the fluff. ✅ What Activity History Actually Does Windows uses Activity History to track things like: Apps you opened Files you accessed Websites you visited (in Microsoft browsers) Recent documents across devices Timeline syncing between PCs using your Microsoft account It was originally tied to the old “Windows Timeline” feature — which Microsoft quietly abandoned because almost nobody used it. ✅ What You Gain by Turning It Off Turning it off does improve your privacy , just not dramatically. Here’s what you do get: ✔ Windows stops logging what you do locally No timeline of recent activity. ✔ Your activity is no longer synced to Microsoft’s cloud This is the real win — your data stays on your computer only. ✔...

“Slow Down, Speed Racer — That ‘Urgent’ Message Isn’t Going Anywhere!” 🛡️💬 Cyber-Bob says: “Any message screaming URGENT! ACT NOW! is usually just a scammer trying to make your heart race faster than your internet speed.” What’s the trick? Scammers love creating fake emergencies to bypass your good common sense. They’ll claim things like: “Your bank account is locked!” “You must verify your Medicare info now!” “Your package can’t be delivered!” “Your grandchild is in trouble!” All designed to make you click first and think later. What to do instead: 👍 Pause. Breathe. Re-read. Real organizations don’t work on panic mode. If it’s truly important, you can verify it safely by: Going to the official website yourself Calling the real phone number on your card or statement Ignoring the link in the message entirely Cyber-Bob’s Golden Rule: “If it demands instant action… it’s probably instantly suspicious.” Bonus Senior-Friendly Tip: If a message give...

🚨 ALERT — Washington Post hit by breach tied to Oracle software vulnerability 👉 Why it matters — Nearly 10,000 employee and contractor records were exposed, including bank routing numbers, SSNs, and tax IDs. Seniors with past ties to large employers or pension systems may face increased identity-theft risk. SecurityWeek 📣 Call to Action — If you have a Washington Post account, reset your password, enable 2FA, and monitor financial activity. 🔥 PRIVACY & BIG TECH — No new consumer-targeted privacy breaches today 👉 Why it matters — No major new events surfaced overnight, but scammers often weaponize older breaches to send fake “verification” messages. Security Affairs 📣 Call to Action — Treat surprise “login confirmation” emails as suspicious. Visit the site directly instead of using the link. 📈 ECONOMY & SECURITY — Government restores cyber-threat information-sharing protections 👉 Why it matters — A temporary extension of CISA 2015 improves cyber-threat report...

“Passwords Are Like Underwear — Change Them Often!” Howdy, friends! Cyber‑Bob here, with another nugget of digital wisdom. 🕶️💻 You wouldn’t wear the same pair of socks for a month (I hope!), so don’t keep the same password for years. Hackers love old, weak, and reused passwords — they’re like open doors with a “welcome” mat. Cyber‑Bob’s Golden Rule: Use strong, unique passwords for each account. That means a mix of letters (both kinds), numbers, and symbols — the digital equivalent of armor plating. 🔹 Make It Easy, Not Forgettable: Try a passphrase instead: a few random words you’ll remember. Example: PurpleDaisy!Drives2Town Use a password manager to remember them for you. It’s safer and easier than sticky notes on your monitor! 🔹 Bonus Senior‑Smart Tip: If any account offers 2‑step verification (2FA) — take it! It’s like adding a deadbolt to your online door. 🧠 Cyber‑Bob’s Motto: “Keep your passwords fresh and your hackers frustrated!” Cyber‑Bob ...

“Don’t Click That Link — Even If It Looks Friendly.” Cyber‑Bob here, waving my digital cane again because this one’s a classic. 👴💻 Scammers are sneaky little critters — they’ll send you emails, texts, or messages that look like they’re from your bank, your grandkid, or your favorite store. But the truth? That “urgent” link could lead you straight into a cyber‑trap. Cyber‑Bob’s Golden Rule: If you didn’t expect the message, don’t click the link. Check the sender carefully — a tiny spelling difference like chase‑bank.com instead of chase.com is a big red flag. 🔹 What To Do Instead: Go directly to the company’s real website by typing it yourself. Call the person or business using a number you already trust. Hover over links (don’t click!) to see where they really go — if it looks weird, it is weird. 🔹 Bonus Senior‑Smart Tip: If the message says “act now” or “your account will be locked,” relax. That panic they’re trying to cause? That’s their favorite bait...

https://youtu.be/2LsRwuaucO4 This guide (#10 of 14) focuses on Recognizing Relationship and Grandparent Scams This lesson tackles the "social engineering" side of scams—when the bad guys play on emotions like kindness, trust, or worry. Here's the prompt I used to create the lesson: "Write a cautious but compassionate Storybook for seniors on romance scams and 'Grandparent' scams. The story should follow Mrs. Helen, who learns that even very kind online strangers or a 'grandchild' in trouble should never ask for money via gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency. The main rule should be: If someone you’ve never met asks for money, it is a scam. Emphasize taking a moment to call a trusted family member before acting." Key Lesson - Recognizing scams that manipulate emotions, and the rule of never sending money to people you don't know well or who pressure you for urgent help. I used Copilot's Storybook to create this lesson, ZOOM's ...

https://youtu.be/RF6wAcq-UYU The video transcript proposes a simple and painless method for supporting veterans by suggesting that individuals redirect their credit card cashback rebates to a charitable organization. The speaker emphasizes that this approach requires no additional personal spending or budgeting adjustments, instead leveraging money that is already being returned to the user. The organization Tunnels to Towers (T2T) is specifically highlighted as a highly reputable charity that provides mortgage-free smart homes for injured veterans and offers support to Gold Star families and first responders. The central theme encourages viewers to establish a monthly habit of turning their "free money" into real-world impact as a meaningful way to honor Veterans Day.

Yep - That’s it - No budgeting acrobatics - No skipping coffee - No digging deeper into your wallet☕🚫. Just rerouting what’s already coming your way🔄. Most of us treat those rebates like spare change between the ...

“Passwords Shouldn’t Be Reused… Even If You Really Like Them.” Cyber-Bob knows the struggle: Remembering passwords sometimes feels like juggling bowling balls while riding a unicycle — doable, but not recommended for seniors or anyone with a good sense of self-preservation. 😄 But here’s the truth: Reusing the same password everywhere is like using one key for: 🔑 your house 🔑 your car 🔑 your shed 🔑 your bank 🔑 your email 🔑 and your secret stash of chocolate If a scammer copies that one key… they now own everything . 🔹 Today’s Tip If a website needs a password, it deserves its own . No exceptions. No excuses. No “But it’s easier this waaaay…” Cyber-Bob isn’t buying it. 😉 🔹 Make Life Easier: Use a Password Manager A good password manager: ✅ remembers everything ✅ creates strong passwords automatically ✅ keeps them safe ✅ saves your brain cells for more important things, like remembering where you left your glasses 🔹 Bonus Senior-Friendly Trick Use ...

“Don’t Trust Links You Didn’t Ask For.” Uninvited links are like stray raccoons on the porch — cute from a distance, but they’ll rummage through your life if you let them. If you didn’t start the conversation, don’t start clicking. 🔹 Step 1 — Pause Unexpected text or email with a link? Breathe. No one ever saved their bank account by rushing. 🔹 Step 2 — Preview, Don’t Tap On a computer, hover your mouse over the link to see the real web address. On a phone, press and hold the link (don’t release) to preview the destination. If it looks odd, misspelled, super long, or asks you to log in → walk away. 🔹 Step 3 — Go Around, Not Through Need to check something? Open a new browser tab and type the site yourself (bank, Medicare, SSA, Amazon). Never use the link that came to you out of the blue. 💬 Quick Example You get a text: “Your package is delayed. Track here: bit.ly/FreeFastShip .” Feels helpful. It isn’t. Open your carrier’s real app or type their official site...
