Cybersecurity content is super relatable - Almost everyone has asked ChatGPT something random—so discovering it can make stuff up is both fascinating and a bit freaky.  Let’s dive into why AI hallucinates, why that matters, and how to protect yourself from misinformation. 1 - What Are AI Hallucinations? Put simply - hallucinations happen when an AI confidently delivers bold statements that aren't real—because it doesn’t actually “know” anything. It generates the most plausible-sounding response based on its training, even if it’s made up. Think of your friend confidently sharing “facts” that are 100% wron...

You don’t need a computer science degree to understand what these tools do. In fact, you’ll probably find that each one has a very specific purpose—and once you know how they work, you’ll be using them like a pro.

But here’s the kicker - in today’s world, getting both sides? It’s like hunting for a unicorn with a blindfold on. Let’s break this down. Once upon a time—not too long ago—you could read the morning paper, watch the evening news, and feel fairly confident you got a balanced view. Fast forward to now, and we’ve got: Social media echo chambers. 24/7 cable shouting matches. And news outlets that care more about “who clicks” than “what’s true.” Today, truth is less about reporting and more about performing. Here’s the problem - A lot of places s...

And Wait. And Maybe Wait Some More. Roughly two weeks ago, I published a blog post and accompanying video pointing out the absurdity and roadblocks baked into the process of reporting Medicare fraud. As it turns out — I was being generous. Today, after nearly 40 minutes of listening to hold music and automated disclaimers that would put anyone in a coma, I finally reached a human being. To her credit, the Medicare representative I spoke with was kind and patient. But that’s where the competence ended and the bureaucratic bad joke began. After I explained my concern and gave all the requested details (multiple times), I was thanked in a tone that suggested I was either...

They’re not after trout or tuna. They’re after your passwords, credit card numbers, and your identity. That’s phishing, with a “Ph” — and the "P" might as well stand for problem and I've tried to put this together so you don't need a PhD to follow the advice. 🧠 So, What Is Phishing? Phishing is when scammers pretend to be someone you trust — like your bank, a delivery service, or even your grandchild — to trick you into giving up personal information...
