Cybersecurity isn’t just for big tech firms—it’s essential for every home and small business. In this episode of the Home Comfort Zone Podcast, host Theresa talks with Dan Vieth, owner of Vieth Consulting, about the biggest threats facing us in 2025.
Dan breaks down what ransomware really is, how phishing scams work, and the often-overlooked dangers of browser token hijacking—even with two-factor authentication.
🔍 Topics covered:
What ransomware looks like in real life
Why phishing emails are still so dangerous
How EDR and MDR work to keep your systems safe
The one thing every homeowner should do today (freeze your credit!)
Are AI tools like ChatGPT safe to use?
Dan also explains how Vieth Consulting helps businesses protect their systems and train employees to spot threats before it’s too late.
