About Digital Defense: Empowering individuals in the cyber age
Cyber activity is so much bigger than we think. Crime happens every day, in so many new and crazy ways. Sometimes, in more entertaining ways, other times in scarier than imaginable ways. I want to shed light on what’s out there, what’s happening, and sometimes, what we can do about it.
John McAfee was quite the colorful character. His story is a roller coaster ride of highs and lows. Too many times was he accused of murder, only later to accomplish what no one else had done yet in cyber security.
And U.S. president? I didn't think he had a chance, but from the sounds of it, his goons did. Tune in to learn alittle bit about John McAfee's life, then tune into The Groovy Red Planet on YouTube to learn a lot more about his dark side.

Episode 1: Jeff Bezos has a Pegasus
Starting off with a throwback, I wanted to cover this crazy story about Jeff Bezos getting hacked. It made headlining news in late 2018, early 2019, but not a lot of people remember or know about this event. This baffles me because of his tools and resources in the cyber world, the dramatic affect it had on how we can view what is safe and not, and the opportunity for the unknown to be known.
If you know anything about this event, Pegasus malware, or cyber events like this, feel free to reach out with any suggestions or advice! Thanks for checking it out.
