https://youtu.be/37s1RW5Fp_w Free apps can be helpful, fun, and convenient — but not every free app is as friendly as it looks. In this Cyber-Bob safety tip, we take a calm, common-sense look at how some “free” apps really work, what they may collect behind the scenes, and why a little curiosity can go a long way toward protecting your privacy. No scare tactics. No tech jargon. Just practical awareness designed especially for everyday users and seniors. Technology should work for you — not quietly work on you.

Bob The Cyber-Guy’s Practical Advice to Avoid Becoming the Next Victim 🧠 If you use LastPass , this is one message you’ll want to read carefully. A new phishing campaign is actively targeting LastPass customers with very convincing fake emails . These emails look official, sound urgent, and claim you must “back up your vault” within 24 hours due to scheduled maintenance. That’s the bait. The real goal? 👉 To trick you into giving up your LastPass master password — the single key that unlocks everything. Let’s walk through what’s happening and, more importantly, how to stay safe. 🧠 What’s Really Going On? Scammers are sending emails that: Appear to come from LastPass Use urgent language like “Action Required” or “Vault Backup Deadline” Include buttons or links that lead to fake LastPass login pages Once you enter your master password on that fake page, the attackers have access to every password in your vault . And no — this isn’t theoretical. People are falling for it.  🛑 Bo...

“Your Old Devices Still Remember You” Most people think the danger ends when a device is turned off, replaced, or shoved into a drawer. It doesn’t. 🚨 What’s the hidden risk? Old phones, tablets, laptops, and even smart TVs often still contain: Saved email accounts Stored passwords Wi-Fi credentials Cloud access tokens Photos, messages, and documents If that device is: Sold Given away Donated Recycled Or “reset” incorrectly …the next owner may gain more access than you ever intended . ⚠️ Common false assumptions “I deleted my files, so it’s fine” “I logged out, so I’m safe” “A factory reset always wipes everything” (Spoiler: it doesn’t always) ✅ Smart, simple protection steps Sign out of accounts first , then reset Remove the device from your Google / Apple / Microsoft account Encrypt before resetting when possible If the device is truly obsolete, physically destroy the storage (yes, really) For smart devices, remov...

https://youtu.be/BVBEKQOZm8c From cassette tapes and blinking cursors to AI that talks back, this is a journey most people never stop to think about. Bob the Cyber-Guy takes you behind the scenes of personal computing’s evolution — not as a history lesson, but as a first-hand experience from someone who lived it. Along the way, you’ll discover how early struggles shaped modern technology, why today’s AI feels so different, and what hasn’t changed at all despite everything else transforming. This isn’t about specs or nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. It’s about perspective — and why experience matters more than ever in the AI era. If you’ve ever wondered how we got here… or why curiosity might be your most powerful tech skill… this one’s worth your time.

Hello everyone! It’s Bob here. 👋 We all love our iPhones, don't we? They are incredibly smart. They know your face, your fingerprint, and exactly how many steps you took before breakfast. But recently, a massive cell carrier outage revealed a hidden danger. It turns out your iPhone has a "blind spot" that could be risky in an emergency. I warned my Android friends about this recently, and now it is time to make sure my iPhone users are safe, too. 🛡️ The Problem: Your iPhone Might Be Invisible When you make a call using a normal cell tower, the tower "triangulates" your signal. This means 911 dispatchers can find your physical location automatically. It is a great safety net. However, when cell service fails and your phone switches to Wi-Fi Calling , that safety net disappears. The internet sees your voice, but it doesn't necessarily see your street address. 🏠 If you dial 911 over Wi-Fi without configuring this one specific setting, help might not be able...

Wi-Fi Calling is one of those quiet helpers that you don’t notice… until the cell network goes down and your phone still works . That happened to me during a recent Verizon outage. Wi-Fi Calling kicked in automatically, and I never missed a call. But there’s an important safety detail most people don’t know — especially when it comes to calling 911 . 🚨 Why This Tip Matters When you call 911 over a cell tower , your location can usually be found automatically. When you call 911 using Wi-Fi Calling , your phone is using the internet — not cell towers. That means 911 depends on the emergency address you entered in your phone. No address, wrong address, or an old address? 👉 Emergency services may not know where to send help. The good news? Fixing this is easy — and you only need to do it once.- Unless you move! ✅ Bob’s Step-by-Step Wi-Fi Calling Emergency Address Check (Simple enough for anyone to follow) Step 1 Open your Settings app ⚙️ (That little gear icon.)

“Your Voicemail Can Be a Back Door” Most people protect their email. Most people protect their bank account. Very few people protect their voicemail. Scammers know this. 🚨 What’s the hidden risk? Many services still use voicemail for account recovery : Password reset codes “We just sent you a verification call” Security confirmations If a criminal: Steals your phone number (SIM-swap), or Accesses an unprotected voicemail They can intercept reset codes and take over: Email accounts Financial accounts Social media Cloud services No malware needed. No hacking wizardry. Just voicemail. ⚠️ Common mistakes scammers exploit Default voicemail PIN (often 0000 or 1234 ) No PIN at all Voicemail accessible from any phone Reusing the same PIN as your bank card (yes, people do this) ✅ Simple protection steps (5 minutes total) Set a strong voicemail PIN (not birthdays or repeats) Disable “remote voicemail access” if you don’t use it ...

https://youtu.be/AZf-j2SLiec America calls itself the United States—but how united are we, really? In this episode, we take an honest, plain-spoken look at one of the most difficult conversations facing the country today: unity, identity, and immigration. Without slogans or shouting, we explore what it means to belong, why shared values matter, and how unchecked division—on all sides—puts our future at risk. This isn’t about blaming people. It’s about asking hard questions, respecting those who followed the rules, and figuring out how a nation built by immigrants can stay united without losing itself. A thoughtful conversation for anyone who loves this country, worries about where it’s headed, and believes honest dialogue still matters. The video was created by NotebookLM based on my Blog post: https://bob3160.blogspot.com/2026/01/united-states-of-america-how-united-are.html

https://youtu.be/JdCXHjWEM7w Can you really trust AI with your medical information? ChatGPT Health says you can safely share your health data — but before you do, Bob the Cyber-Guy pauses the hype and asks a few hard, experience-tested questions. This video was created by NotebookLM, based on an original blog post by Bob the Cyber-Guy (Norbert (Bob) Gostischa), and it takes a calm, practical look at what “secure” actually means in today’s digital healthcare world. ( https://bob3160.blogspot.com/2026/01/chatgpt-health-your-medical-data.html ) No scare tactics. No tech jargon overload. Just clear thinking, real-world perspective, and common-sense guidance. If you’ve ever wondered where the smart line is between using AI and over-sharing with it, this one’s worth your time. 

OpenAI recently announced ChatGPT Health, a healthcare-focused version of ChatGPT designed to help people better understand medical information. Along with the announcement came a reassuring message from OpenAI: You can safely share your medical information. - Really??? Now, on the surface, that sounds comforting — and to be fair, it’s a more careful approach than the early days of “ask the AI anything and hope for the best.” But as someone who’s spent years talking about technology, cybersecurity, and real-world risks, I want to slow this conversation down and add some much-needed perspective. Because when it comes to health data, trust should never be automatic. What ChatGPT Health Promises According to OpenAI, ChatGPT Health offers: A separate, dedicated health space inside ChatGPT Medical conversations kept apart from general chats Health data not used to train AI models Strong encryption and access controls Clear limits: the AI does not diagnose or replace your doctor Those are al...

I love this country. It’s not just where I live—it’s the country my parents chose. They didn’t arrive by accident. They came with intent: to become Americans, to contribute, to belong. That distinction matters more today than many are willing to admit. And right now, the United States is in trouble—not because disagreement exists (that’s normal), but because unity has been replaced with suspicion, resentment, and silence. We avoid hard conversations instead of having honest ones. So let’s not avoid one of the biggest fault lines of all. Let’s talk about illegal immigration—plainly, respectfully, and without slogans. Unity Requires Shared Commitment America has always been a nation of immigrants. That’s not up for debate. But it has never been a nation without borders, laws, or expectations. Legal immigration is built on a shared understanding: You enter through a process You accept the laws You work toward becoming part of the country—not reshaping it to resemble what you left behind T...
