The Invisible Pickpocket

You don't need to be a master thief to steal someone's data anymore just a stronger Wi-Fi signal than the coffee shop. The Geek and The Detective, Amy Lynn (The Geek) and Mesquite Detective Derrick Stevens (The Detective) break down how digital pickpockets reach into your device from across the room. We explain Evil Twin networks that mimic "Free Wi-Fi," how your phone auto connects without you noticing, and why airports are prime hunting grounds for attackers. We also cover juice jacking through public USB ports, how a simple data blocker can stop it, and why these crimes are nearly impossible to prosecute across borders. You'll learn how to lock down your perimeter, understand your phone's digital exhaust, and follow the Ghost Rules to stay invisible. From VPNs to hotspot safety, listen to learn about moving from fear to control. Be your own first responder and keep your data protected.
