I love being anti social and private
Iโve never had this issue
Yea it happened to me 3 times and pne of the times they got into my bank and withdraw money ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Is this guy crazy? It SHOULD BE Fort Knox on your phone ๐ฑ
Maybe if the numbers on the iPhone weren't so HUGE.
Also, use face ID if you have an iPhone ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
These are the same people that lose their wallet every other year, and need to locate their car keys every single day.
Maybe Lester should end the broadcast with; "Goodnight. Keep your stuff in your pockets, and take care of your belongings."
How about using the facial rec feature so you donโt have to enter a password.
Personally, I preferred the finger-print sensor home button from older iPhones, and I would like to see that back again.
This is one idea Iโm doing setting my self back 30 years & opening an account at another bank that would not be registered to a modern day apple tech. And thatโs where my big money would be. No debt cards
BAD reporting NBC…you don't ever say how a thief gets a phone passcode in the FIRST place, and yet say that making more complicated/longer passcodes are a solution…WHY can't the thief get the longer passcode the same way that they are getting the shorter one?! It is hard to say SINCE YOU DONT EXPLAIN HOW THEY GET IT IN THE FIRST PLACE AND WHY LONGER WOULD BE DIFFERENT!
There are 10,000 possible 4 digit passcode combinations even with a passcode cracker it would take time to guess the combination. In 18 seconds she guessed the passcode come on people. The IPhone was already unlocked and obviously for the sake of the story she already knew the passcode.
Team introvert
better than most of the popular youtubers
No doubt in response to the flipper ect…gotta get a rfid wallet
Someone stole my Motorola Razr phone 2 days after I got it, but the good news is all they were able to do was download $50 of ringtones ๐ Itโs scary to think about what can be accessed via a stolen phone today. Phones can easily be car keys, house/hotel keys, control alarm systems, and lots more.
Another option is to not buy a iphone period ๐คฃ
Basically, dont buy an apple iphone.
Yea,its called "showing it, must not want it" stop being complacent.
If anyone hasn't noticed apple and security are a f'n joke. These corporations dont give a crap. They got their money and will continue to get their money. Until congress stops accepting their money things wont change because all they care about is profits.
Yep in the same boat. They are no help totally sucks
Apple can't restore the account because they don't store description keys on their servers which is a great privacy measure as compared to Android open gate policy….
Screen time passcode won't save you as a theif can reset your apple account password and disable screen passcode
Never let anyone use your phone to make call
All i wanna do is take some pics
Why hasnt Apple fixed this issue yet? The WSJ covered this story months ago!!
Well it's time to switch to phones that have a fingerprint scanner.
How did they get the passcode in the first place?
Apple is the worst when it comes to supporting victims.
Go back to the day where your phone is not the center of your personal universe..it's rediculous putting everything on your phone…
Save us from this Apple ๐
Q. How do I protect my Android?
A. We're not all winners kid.๐๐๐๐
it took NBC news 2 months to catch up with the story thats no longer news anymoreโฆSeriously thisโs news 2 months ago! NBC News new motto: be the last to know ๐
never ever put u credit Cards on u phone! I don't care if It's very easy fast and on the Go!
Apple doesn't care about your life and money apple doesn't care about anything i hope yall leave apple and switch over to Android its way more safe and you have more security features
2:47 this is not exactly correct, you can only have a single four digit code, it locks everything under screen time.
To prevent someone from accessing and changing your account when your device is unlocked (or even when they know your device password)
Enable "screen Time" with a passcode. *keep this in a save place at home*
Go into "Screen Time" / "Content & Privacy Restrictions and disable" and change the permissions to "Donโt Allow" for the following two categories:
Passcode Changes -> "Donโt Allow"
Account Changes -> "Donโt Allow"
this is why i always bring a decoy phone with no data in it LOL
Vote out democrats ?
#1: leave your phone at home, or keep it in airplane;
#2: never go out alone;
#3: never leave your friends;
#4: always tell someone where you are going;
#5: never accept a drink from a stranger, even if the bartender hands it to you;
Never believe that you are special. Anyone can be hurt or killed.
The problem is this: young people feel 10 foot tall, and bulletproof. Trying to protect young people is like trying to herd cats.
Step 1: Get an android
