Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
Nice idea, this. Found in the parking lot of a gas station.
But, of these 7 computers… I’d guess only 30% have been wiped.
… your phone before sending it for service, hard drives before Goodwill, your phone before exiting the rental car…
If I was a desperate poor person without morals, this bin would be my start into the blackmail business. And if that occurred to me, someone’s actually doing it.
Sharing some of my favourite driving tricks with you. Like, that little arrow beside the gas tank on the fuel gauge tells you which side the tank is on.
Read it online at Autonet.ca
“My hazard button invention – using it to maintain a protective bubble of space 360º around you”.
Also, the blue circle – “it’s hard to get annoyed with someone smiling at you”. Ha, just a little social engineering there.
See how I ended with an invitation to contact me? It worked well, so many great emails; I’m going to do this topic again.

This costume comeON. Daydreaming how to get to wear it…
… walk into the 7-11, full blue leotard on.
“Hi guys! I’m cutting it fine eh, for the start of my 1pm shift! Huh? Why are you looking at me… you didn’t get the call from head office, that I was coming? Huh well I’ll leave you to it, I gotta get out there *turn to eye up costume* because a few weeks ago woaaaah my boss maaaay have busted me oh man, it’s the craziest story okay so, first you have to know how it started…. hey, think I should stretch first? So okay, the story… so I was supposed to be there at 11, but the night before omg this is complicated for how much time wait, what am I saying, I’ll tell ya when I come back *pick up over, waving out the door, “see you soon!”
It preys on emotions, and people’s goodwill.
Don’t feel shy to stop people tailgating you into your work, or any building to which you’ve been trusted with a key. On the phone, be mindful of the privacy level associated with the information that you’re giving out. Like that.
Social engineering is used in online attacks, too.
It’s a friendly & personalized approach… the email is welcoming, calls you by name, references that hazy night out a few weeks back, check out this photo I just found of us, click here…
No, a script pulled your name off a list, some well written copy was added, and then some malware was hidden behind the link, that the email really wants you to click.
If it feels off, say no or don’t click.
And if ever I get to wear the costume, video.
It’s like, 1 minute on the phone versus 500 emails.
The phone makes it easy to move things around, affect things, create things, mess with things.
Above was a bit of a low move; I probably shouldn’t have done that.
Look how bad I feel.
Can’t believe they’re still popular, like…. still?!
Even their location is dumb – why put them directly in the rearview mirror’s view?
Stick families broadcast personal information, and are an unnecessary breach of personal security.
I’ve been collecting photos for a year.
Bottom right is mildly amusing.
Surely you’ve seen the “Anti-Stick Family” stickers.
Maybe, but you still have a stick family on your car.
Example: the attacker Googles the name of the deceased, finds the cause of death.
Then, they “run into” the car’s owner, “yup, I’m just passing through here, trying to reach my donation goal for my charity, it’s to benefit [cause of death]. Oh, that’s a cause close to your heart, and you’ll donate? Thanks so much.”
