Hi, I'm Captain Dick Simmons from the Popular and Virus Free Web Series Red vs. Blue. And this is Lopez. Today we're here to talk to you about the only protection you need in this modern day and age, cyber security. Hey Dickhead, what'd you do? I'm trying to get into the base's Wi-Fi and it keeps telling me I have the wrong password. That would be because I changed it to something more secure. More secure than password 1, 2, 3. Did you know that just the word password is the eighth most used password in the world? Yeah, I did. That's why we added the 1, 2, and the 3. A good password includes a random combination of letters, numbers, symbols, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, a few strings of Morse code, a small piece of Asky art, and at least one high coup. The less likely you are to remember it yourself, the better. Whatever. Oh, an FYI? Your changes kick both ends off the cloud. Huh, oh well. Provided that you have a strong enough password to keep those pesky PC pirates out, you may think you're completely safe, right? Wrong. Even with the strong password, just the things you willingly download could still contain computer contaminants. The best way to prevent this is to install a firewall, which could be represented by this literal wall of fire I've constructed all around the entrances to the base. You see, with this firewall active, we can still send good things out into cyberspace, like my Firefly Fan Fiction script, yes, serenity. But we can block bad things like all those mean comments calling my script a bad typo. Hey Simmons, what the hell is going on? What's that Griff? I can't hear you through my super awesome firewall. Cut this shit and let me into the base. I'm in the middle of cat fishing tucker, and I need to send him some photos of your mom. Sorry, you're gonna need the password to get in. Well, what's the password? I can't just say the password out loud, Griff. That's rule number one in password safety. That's dumb and you're dumb. What? Still can't hear you from inside the firewall? You already made that joke asshole. And just like that, another intrusion attempt defeated. In addition to a strong virus protection software, you also need to be careful about who you share your information with. One thing to look out for are email fishing scams. This is where hackers will email you posing to be a Nigerian prince, or a model that shares all of your interests and is super into you. But just needs you to send her $4,000 for a plane ticket out to your box canyon. You'll know these are scams by the bling spelling errors, poorly conceived premise, and the fact that it's someone's communicating with you via email. But anyone does that. Hello Simmons. Yes, it is your very good friend close. We share the same interests and also live basically within the same area code. Anyway, I have some very personal and it's your question to ask for you. Remember, never give away personal data to an unverifiable source. Yes, I would just like to know. If you want to go fishing, no caboose fishing with a pea. Do you want to go pea-fisting with me, Simmons? But fishing scams aren't the only way a hacker can pry information from you. They can also disguise harmful software inside of seemingly friendly software. This is called a... Hey Simmons, you suck. What do you want now, Griff? Oh, Lopez. See, soy yo Lopez, El Robo Americano, favorito, date totos. Wait a minute, Griff said you were kicked off the cloud. Hey, Escochausté, aesa, gorda, gorda, tonta. You're right Lopez. Clearly, I just needed to wait for you to reboot and refresh your IP address. Yeah, esto es demasiado facil. But now you need to get inside the base to help me beef up my security even further. Claro, volmos con queso. Huh, con s o. Here, let me just lower the firewall for a minute and... Oh, wait a second, say Lopez. Do me a favor and point to every square that has a stoplight in it. Okay, no I lose as de parada. Ah-ha! Lopez is a robot and wouldn't be able to pass the capture. Get out of his armor, Griff, I know it's you. God damn it, Simmons, just let me in. What we have here is a classic Trojan horse, one of the many ways hackers tried to get into your system. If they have enough time on their hands, they could also try. Perforce! Damn computer machines! What the hell are you doing? Simmons, some amateur arsonist must have hacked into the base's mainframe and sent everything on fire. I'm gonna need you to stop dropping roll your way out of here and help me put it out. Sorry, stop, it's a firewall. I put it up to keep intruders out. What? You did this? Ha, ha, ha. Oh, good thing, Simmons. I've always said that it's best to fight fire with absolutely nothing because fire can't be beat. Climbs on our side. Now, let me in. It's almost time to upload the newest episode of my podcast. You're the podcast? Yeah, it's called, Sorge Speaks. With Sorge, I just kind of ran a lot about things I'm interested in, like close-range weaponry, my favorite shades are red, and the exact coordinates and floor plan of our base. That was the architecture episode. What? That's wildly unsafe. I'm sorry sir, but I can't let you in. You traitor! I guess I can knock my ruin off my list. You see, you also need to be careful of what you're posting online willingly. You never know when a word of your upcoming trip to Kokomo could fall into the hands of criminals looking to rob you blind. As such, you should never post anything ever about any facet of your life online for fear of being compromised. In fact, just stay away from social media in general. You'll thank me. Well, this thing's wasn't... What, you're just giving up? Of course not. I'm merely going back to base to go on reinforcements. But this is the pace. Fine. All right, look, I give up, okay? Clearly, all of this added security is airtight, and probably really helps some people not be idiots online. And I was wrong to call it dumb, huh? What was that? That sounded like the start of an apology, but I didn't quite hear those two magical words. Zipy. Close enough. Welcome home, Griff. It's going to be back, Griff. What the hell? I told you I'd be back with reinforcements. The base? No! Oh, my heart worked. All my VPNs, my Northern Antivirus, my Papa Blocker with those little notifications telling me how much work it's doing. Oh, God. So, any security tips for what to do if someone just destroys your base? Yeah. Always have a backup. You remember the last time you were in the hospital remember what the password for Blue Base was? Oh, no. You're not locking me out of this one, too. What in Sam Hill? Wait a minute. Those damn computers must have destroyed the base again. Hey, Sammons. We're going to need better security on the front row. Thanks for checking out that episode of RVB.
