ABOUT:

Following the philosophy mentioned on the home page, we just wanted to get the page up about the following:

INTRO: Many Youtubers, influencers, content makers and creators, use

• a personal email
• **or a sponsor email they access on devices used to run their channels**

Given they aren't often all that technical, and anyone able to use email likely knows this, hackers can easily compromise their systems.

WHAT WE DO: We

• encourage you to secure your liabilities and potential fortunes with proper Cyber-insurance: if you put serious effort into channels and media, you should treat it as a business!


• all the following with you--likely lowering the risk you pose to insurers (and give documentation as you progress to present to them to seek discounts!


• get you setup to use a "proper" SPONSOR address;
  
  --that directs communications our way; we serve as the recipients on behalf of your channel or brand, allowing us to segment email, check for issues with domains and formatting, and open and "sanitize" documents (like PDFs or word docs) -- even those sent by legitimate companies can be infected with malware (such as when their own systems were!);



• coach you through a process through time (keeping it simple/easy as possible) to secure your digital network/life/devices and habits;
• forwarding vetted messages and documents to their final destination;
• help you with coaching to setup a final system for the purpose of getting communications--one where you access messages more like files on your desktop than as email, and then we provide you a relay to send replies through and back to your potential collaborators.

Examples of MAJOR Online Brands/Youtubers Succumbing to Attacks via Email Trickery:

• Linus Explains
• Security Researcheron Linus Tech Tips Pwned by Fishing Email
• Other Security Researcher on Linus Tech Tips Pwnd by Malicous PDF Documents attached to the Email

Notice, this is a BIG Youtuber

• Despite being a giant team that is nothing but tech/computer experts, they have been hacked serioiusly (at least) TWICE!
  
  What chance do non-techies have?


• LOST HIS YOUTUBE CHANNEL OF MANY YEARS OF WORK--one worth tens of millions annually and responsible for the livelihood of many families;
  
  LTT could get the channel back in reasonable time being "too big to ignore", but that isn't the case for most victims of these attacks on Youtubers, who may suffer MONTHS of lost revenue (critical if it is their primary or sole income or job), or may not ever get back their videos if attackers succeed in deleting them--and they better hope they have the money and (expensive!) hardware at home with backups (on systems that aren't the things that got hacked!) as the videos are their primary asset! (though as many youtubers point-out, when someone delists or deletes videos and manipulates an account they've hacked, it often means losing and never recovering many followers);


• in the second link that the speaker points-out that he, also, gets such attacks via email...A LOT.
  
  And that virus and malware scanners may not even help! Attackers will avoid sending the attachments to evade scanners, then send links, or they will use other means (such as domain spoofing to send "legitimate" emails to you--showing they come from e.g. "partneroutreach@wellKnownBigCompany.com" rather than "ratattackersfromRussia@lolWeGonnaGetYourYoutubeChannelDeleted.com".

Notice also: in the sectioned linked "isn't the case for most victims...", you will find that victims articulate a repeated theme: being compromised through emails with sponsor promises/offers...
