I'm a cybersecurity professional. I've been in the industry for ~13 years. I was in the trenches for Heartbleed, WannaCry, and various cryptolocker malware, just to name a few. In light of the post I saw today regarding FaceApp, and another post I saw about "what was your first car", I thought I'd make a quick blog. I know it's dull as shit to you all, and I know these apps are fun, but you have to check their origins and privacy policies. Facial recognition software isn't a joke. As far as "what was your first car", I responded too. With my second car. The make and model of your first car is an extremely common security question used to recover passwords. Be wary of these things. Not paranoid, but cautious. Even if you get a link in a private message from the most beautiful SG on the site, don't click it. She could've been compromised; you have no idea. Gullibility is the name of the game in social engineering. Verify, verify, verify. If anyone has any specific security questions please let me know; I'm always happy to help. šā¤ļø
