Technologies improve and change at such a fast rate. And the hackers, scammers, phishers and more are also improving and changing just as fast. So many of these scams or messages look so real. We have to teach our future generations the tricks to look for such as misspellings or a different type of "a" being used. I've taught my own children to ignore messages from people that they don't know. That will not protect them forever though.

Honestly, this is something that I did not realize was common knowledge. Or not something that I have frequently thought about. "private browsing" makes me immediately think that I am trying to hide or do something shady. But it really is a matter of keeping my own information private and safe.

I know I have frequently commented on how our "phones are listening to us". I will talk about something and then the next day have an advertisement for it show up. It's honestly a bit scary to think about targeted advertising and the lack of privacy. Our information is sold and bought just so companies can "reach the intended audience".
