Cybersecurity here in the United States has kind of become a bit of a joke.
Not only do we have the government that's done very little to protect this country in
terms of cybersecurity, but the very corporations who run some of the largest online communities
and social network sites have done even less to protect our personal data.
Facebook is a prime example of that, as it was recently revealed that 50 million Facebook
users had their personal data leaked without their knowledge.
Joining me now to talk about this issue is Scott Hardy from Top Class Actions.
Scott, I appreciate you joining us today to talk about this.
This is such a massive data breach.
In fact, one of the largest that we've had here in the United States, 50 million people.
Give us the back story on this.
Yeah, it's a huge data breach.
It was interesting.
The data breach happened, and then right away you had a lot of people sending out Facebook
messages to everyone saying, "Your Facebook data may have been compromised.
Forward this message, change your privacy settings, lock everything down."
But unfortunately you can change anything you want, but if your data was compromised,
it's already out there in the ether, on the Dark Web, and hackers have it.
You're already out of luck.
You still want to do a very basic security check of your Facebook settings, but it's
terrible that these hackers got all of this data, 50 million plus accounts, lots of information
about you, and Facebook did a, "Hmm, sorry."
The story that you have up on TopClassActions.com actually talks about the fact that this data
breach began in July, 2017, and Facebook says that they fixed it September 27th, 2018.
Over a year of your data being exposed, if you were one of the 50 million victims here.
I mean, that seems like a really long lapse in security there for that website.
It really is.
All of us depend on Facebook.
I know we use it every day, and Facebook should be locked down.
In general, the security on Facebook is good, but the class action that has already been
filed, and you're going to see multiple class actions filed about the Facebook data breach,
is simply stating that once again, a large corporation has to have lots and lots of security
about the privacy, and the security of their users.
It'll be interesting to see how this class action proceeds, but thankfully Facebook has
already put out a very simple tool that we'll be able to link, we've got it linked on Top
Class Actions, I'm sure on the Ring of Fire you'll have that link, where you'll be able
to check to see if you were impacted by this data breach.
But it's important to note that right now, even if you go and you check and Facebook
says that your account was not included in this data breach, that might change because
as you said, this was more than a year in the making.
There was a lot of data out there, and Facebook is still figuring out exactly who was involved,
and who may have been affected.
Right.
At this point, I mean, we could be looking at more than 50 million people who had their
data accessed.
One of the simplest things that people can do is simply go on there every couple of months,
change your password.
Keep that changing, don't stick with the same login credentials, and that really goes for
any website out there.
Certainly don't use the same password for every single site that you go on.
I know in the past I had been guilty of that.
Trying to diversify a little bit with my password repertoire at this point, but that is one
of the major issues as well.
Because it can go beyond Facebook.
It can be your online bank account, it can be your Twitter account, something that may
seem innocuous, but if they try that password, if they're in your computer, in your system,
and they see your history, and they know which bank you go to, they can try it there.
This leads down a very slippery slope, and Facebook leaking this data, it's not just,
"Oh, well they had access to my pictures, they had access to my address."
No, from there, they can find out so much more about you and get into so many other
things that other people don't even realize at this point.
Yeah, they sure can.
As you mentioned, making sure that you're changing your password regularly helps.
Absolutely enable two-step authentication for Facebook.
If you use Google, if you use Yahoo, whoever your email provider is, enable two-factor
identification, so that way you'll get a text message if someone's trying to log into your
account.
Same thing for Apple IDs.
You want to lock down all of your accounts as much as possible to make sure that you're
secure, even if there is a data breach and someone did get your password, they still
can't get into your account if you have that two-factor authentication set up.
That may seem like a hassle to some people, they may not think, "Oh well, God, I don't
want to have to go through all these extra steps just to get in my Facebook account."
Take it from me, somebody who's had their debit card number stolen, and used all over
the country, before they finally got caught, going through that nightmare of trying to
get your money back and filing these claims, that is a lot more of a headache than having
to do a two-step authentication to log into Facebook.
Trust me on that.
Scott Hardy, Top Class Actions, thank you for telling us this story today.
Thank you, Farron.
I appreciate your time.

Does God Hate Halloween? - Duration: 2:28.
That's ridiculous.
Number 1: Halloween started as a Celtic holiday for
protection leading into the winter months. Oooo Scary.
Number 2: the Bible says nothing
about Halloween.
End of story.
Let's be honest. At this point in our American
Halloween tradition the holiday is about giving
candy to kids,
harnessing creativity and dressing up in goobery costumes,
bonding as family and friends—as a community.
Some cultures even take time to celebrate loved ones who have passed.
Now what would God hate about that?
"But Luke!" you might say. "My daughter can't dress up like a vampire
because vampires are evil!"
Your daughter doesn't want to celebrate the foundational bloodsucking
compulsion of a vampire. Your daughter wants to dress
up as a vampire because they look cool, and that's ok.
They DO look cool.
Now there are garbage kids and even
garbage adults that want to
scare and traumatize people and use Halloween
as an excuse for unethical or rude behavior
but that's life. At the end of the day that's
their fault, not Halloween's.
And it's not even dangerous. Children are at no greater risk
from poisoned treats or predators or kidnappers
on Halloween than any other day of the year.
That's all baseless crap, myth, hype, whatever you want to call it.
But if you don't like the holiday that's fine. You don't have to.
Because again.
God doesn't really care about Halloween in particular.
So instead of condemning it find some ways to celebrate
the good. Reserve some holiday time for friends or family
Wear some silly costumes, flex your creative minds,
and maybe for bonus points
take some time to remember those who have passed on.
But for goodness sake
Be the person who hands out king sized candy bars.
Everybody just calm down!
