One of the things is the Internet of Things. Anything that you have that is connected to the Internet and that is a vulnerability for you. So, you know, if you have a smart TV in your home. If you haven't protected that and changed the default password, an identity thief can get into, hack into your Internet of Things device. And there were more than 1.5 billion attacks last year on these.

Get to your computer. From your computer, they get to your online bank account. You know, there are other times where, again, the identity theft, they trick you into providing information. I was speaking with some victims and a TV crew about a victim of a scam. They went online. They found what looked like a legitimate site.

It appeared to have all of the good credentials, but they didn't check it out. And the bottom line is they sent their money to a scammer. So we really have to do our homework in these scams. The SEC, which is interesting, actually did a phony website called for a non-existent cryptocurrency called HowieCoin.

And it looked good, had all of the endorsements of celebrities and everything to make it appear good. And if people click through and it got to the part where they were going to send their money, there's a big announcement on your screen telling you that you would have been scammed, that this is a scam.

They're going to attack your router. Remember, your router is the gateway to all of the tech equipment you have in your house. So they'd have to be parked outside then. I mean, they'd have to be close. Oh, no, no, they don't even they don't. This this can be done at a distance.

And interestingly enough, the prices of our smart TVs are less than what we would actually pay for it if those televisions were not subsidized by companies that are taking information that we agree, we don't realize we agree, to be gathered about us that is gathered by our smart TV that is watching not only what we're watching on TV, but
