The internet is a war zone filled with people actively trying to scrape all of your data and attack you with scams.
But you’re not being singled out: Scammers target everyone. They’re indiscriminate, and you will inevitably fall into their wide net.
In this video I explain how perceiving yourself as a low-value target actually makes you an ideal target for both scams and data collection. I also explain how you can better protect yourself.
