Dinner with Former NSA head of technology

Was a really interesting talk. Discussed how active the Chinese, North Koreans, and Iranians are in trying to manipulate the banking systems. They steal billions of dollars a year from banking institutions from credit fraud and stealing identity of individuals who are not secure in their banking. A couple things that jumped out at me were:
iphones are some of the best ways to do business. Always, always update to the new patches and upgrades. Often the hackers get the patches, figure out what the patch fixed and what it was trying to avoid and try to manipulate the people who have not done so.
If you are investing or doing online banking, bank with one of the 9 major ones... Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan...etc They go through 500 million a year in anti terrorist expenditures to keep up with threats. Don;t want to go through a situation like equifax did
Avoid writing checks at all costs. Banking and routing numbers on on every check. One of the main causes of fraud
[b]Have a separate computer on a separate router for all your financial transactions. Do not use this computer for anything else, ever. Use another for any sort of other internet activity. Do not allow friends on the same router
Change the router password from the original.
Do not use a Chinese or russian antivirus software such as kasperski. She stressed this. She said use something like windows defender.
Also something we are all guilty of she said do not use same or similar passwords. And she said use a software that autogenerates passwords.
Was a really interesting conversation. She said how aggressive foreign countries are at attacking banking. Said at age 10, North Korean children are given aptitude tests for hacking. If the they succeed they train them from that age to crack code. Said everyone's social security, mothers maiden name, drivers license is on the deep web and available.
Get credit reports as often as you can.
Just found it interesting. Thought I would share.

Sounds like it would be cheaper and easier just to bomb the everlovingfrick out of them

With the money part - don't do this, don't do that. Sounds like she's espousing nothing but cash transactions to me. That's all that is left that she didn't mention.

2 of the 3 countries mentioned just happen to not have a Rothschild bank.

She mentioned the russians as well.
She was fine with online banking and transactions. just do it in a secure manner. Said not to use public wifi when you can. She said especially avoid hotel wifi, and financial transactions when on other networks like starbucks and especially overseas.

Personal tip:
Create an email address with a key generator so that the letters and numbers make no sense, and use this address only for financial transactions and nothing else.
Using the same email address used for Reddit, Facebook, etc., could really compromise your online security if your personal email address is known to others or found in the hack of another site.
If they can crack that email account and try password resets with a bunch of banks, they'll get access to your financials in no time.
They can't crack an email account that they don't know exists.

something tells me this isn't the most secure method of developing passwords either if said software becomes vulnerable.

Came to this thread expecting something juicy, left it feeling like I paid for sex and got a sandpaper handjob instead

(Unrelated to op Thread except it has to do with the NSA)
Want to know what I think about their ability to collect all emails, texts etc from everyone?
I think they are full of shite.
If they had that ability, all of Hillarys emails would be available. But they are not because they cant do what people say they can.
Its all disinformation.
