In this video, I’ll share 6 of my favorite security gadgets and I’ll explain how I use each one of them, and why you should too. Learn how to protect your private information, including your financial information and even your cryptocurrency through some of these devices.
Investing your time and resources into protecting your most sensitive information has never been easier (and cheaper!).

Great ideas but some of these are really expensive.
Citi has offered virtual credit cards natively for many years now. So if you open a Citi card you can set up virtual cards within the App which link back to your account, but they have a completely different number from your physical card. I’m not sure if the app mentioned in the video offers expiration dates, but with Citi you can set the expiration date of the virtual card. So if you want to do one of those annoying free trials where they require you to put in a credit card number and charge you later if you forget to cancel, you can set up a virtual card and just set the expiration date so that it expires before the end of the free trial period. Also great for if you sign up for a service that later doesn’t want to let you cancel. You can just delete the virtual card and it is the same as if it expired. They can’t charge you anymore.
I would like to see the 2024 version of this video.
Just a question…have you looked at all of this and tested each piece to make sure it does what they say?
I have been covering up the cameras on my devices for many years, thanks to the tv show Criminal Minds. Lol
I wanna hear more about the credit cards. The Netflix segment that sounds interesting all that stuff.
…yawn
the thing i love most is your 100% USA tunnel vision. outstanding arrogance! bravo sir.
USB data blockers also blocks fast charge, since the data paths are used to validate the abilities of the power source. This guy is fool. He has zero education about security and just follows the marketing.
Instead of juice jacker get a usb batt pack
When ya have to pretend to be a youtube guy to be able to continue your real job as a spy…..
Why are there are so many ex-Pat’s don’t people like the name Patrick ?
This is really good information, especially that first little USB interface
what happens if your 2FA device stops working? How do you get into your phone?
If you use GrapheneOS you don’t need a camera cover. Same thing with data blockers since GrapheneOS disables data pins at a hardware level when locked.
Having Samsung A-80 Is broken💀
(And kinda irritating in same time)
There’s literally power only charging cables. There is no need to carry some stupid adapter around.
what if you lose your physical 2fa keys while travelling somewhere abroad?
0:25 Why was the police in your home? 😀
3 years later, do you still recommend privacy? I’ve used them for years and my only issue is it broke in chrome for a file, but otherwise I use it for the same reason. I recently changed some of my security services and hadn’t thought about this one.
Store your crypto currency on any device and when they steal your money its gone.
Long ago, laptops had a little door that you could slide to cover the camera. They also had a little switch that cut off the mic.
Digital is useless. You want a PHYSICAL means to block/disconnect.
Civil courts can force you to divulge or unlock any devices you have or you sit in jail for contempt until YOU DO comply.
Too bad those USB devices are not all metal.
I’m very sceptical about this. And I don’t think it’s legit and aboard and it’s not legal that somebody’s seat this
i have to ask did the cops have probable cause to enter your home and did they have a search warrant ?
O.M.G cable
Ledger has a back door to private keys.
this is nothing but referrals for companies. there are free ways to do almost all of this.

Paranoid much?
Police thought I was Aspi. They had patience.
"Cops thought I was a spy when I was an immigrant in another country"
Why were they at your place in the first place is the question
Congratulations, search google for CALCEMORRISTECH I am relieved that you are out there fighting these thugs, We must take every precaution to protect the elderly and the general public from these despicable con artists. Congratulations to You!! You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for ensuring our security
There’s no need to buy a specific sticker designated as specifically being for covering cameras. I found a pack of black stickers at my local craft store. I think they were intended for teachers to use with chalk like little chalk boards. But anyway, any time I need to cover a camera I just take a hole punch and punch a hole out of one of these stickers and it makes the perfect sized little circle that I can stick on the camera.
Do you have a video on backing up my Mac
Beat cops have low IQs on purpose. They know nothing about technology or cyber security or keeping safe or hacking.
If i was more into coding I would build a script that auto sends a virus to any charge port that attempts to pull out specific perimeter data. In other words, when my phone gets a request for anything other than battery specific data, BOOM!!!! Suck on that suckas! Things like this are why they are taking old school code away from us. In a world of cut copy paste script, whos gonna fix it when they pull the big one? No one is gonna know how to run Fortran when they only know how to drag variables around the screen and not memorize how to build quality pages. Humans werent smart enough to create the code that serves as the foundation of thebtech we use today. Shit was alien. My recommendation is to learn as much of the original code as we can. Trust me
Actually there is crypto exchange platforms that are insured
expat? hahaha fancy way to call an immigrant
You would have to be a serious loser to watch me on any of my cameras. Seems like this might be better suited for young women.
Hello. I had some video that I took, in 2020, of an empty grand central station in new york city, during the pandemic. I later deleted it ’cause I thought I needed the "space". Is there any way to get that video back? It’s less than 5 mins. long…
I need help.. anyone. I have a samsung S20 running android 15. I have decided to make this phone my inet banking phone. I deleted all but the financial apps and have installed netguard to explicity ban all network traffic when the apps are not in use do to the ridiculous perms I had to grant just to install the app ! ( frankly the iris cover would be cheaper.) I have made an encrypted password master file my phone and permanently restricted internet use the document application. So…What happens if my phone is stolen ?
Screen unlock keys have been cracked. I refuse to use any face detectin or finger print because I think that’s uploaded and… we’ll every organization has been hacked. It’s just a matter of time.
I can’t yet find a NFC key that will simply unlock my phones lock screen.. bear in mind it works with Bluetooth and I have no problem NOT blocking it unless the application requires INET.
I could active improper screen lock after X failed attempts but my understanding is that the "professional" exploit uses other attack vectors.
Advice is greatly appreciated. Furthermore it need not be proven advice. Any theory expand my kung-fu.
OK this is a real World comment; You get messly killed in a T bone car crash, your wife is forced to collect the stuff from the cop station covered in blood. She goes home very upset and tries dutifully to download your Will etc. She is so rattled as she is doing this that she keeps typing in the wrong password, voila it is all erased…
Are you a Spy ja ja ja

Thank you for having a fast-paced, confident speaking cadence. I usually listen to YouTube at 1.75x and I don’t have to do that with you. This might be a strange thing to complement, but I find it so much more engaging to listen to someone who doesn’t drag along at a snail’s pace.
He has "fed" written all over him 🐖
You can really tell how context cueing in reading failed to educate the American populace on how to read and spell, from the comments underneath this video. Sad.
COPS SELL DRUGS
Fed posts "worst bait ever on youtube" asked to leave the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
My phone is smarter than a iphone, I have to manually turn on the data transfer, else it’s only charging by default. Even my pc don’t see I plugged a phone in the USB without that.
Pretty sure most device has this option that can be turned on.
