5 tips from an NSA Hacker


These are some excellent tips from this former NSA Hacker. When I worked for the government in the 90s, I was also responsible for the software IBM Antivirus. This was way before the Cyber Security training and jobs. It was in the infant stage. Cyber Security is at the top of the list for network security.

I started this blog on October 7, 2024. I want to share my thoughts and ideas concerning the world of Tech. Again, thanks, and I hope to hear from you, good or bad. For now, I think of a subject, search YouTube for a corresponding video, post the video on my blog, and then explain it.

Also, what tech topics would you like to see. So please leave comments.
