Description
Today's episode is brought to you by;
About a week ago, online superstar, celebrity, marketing maven, fitness expert and tribe builder Chalene Johnson got the surprise of her life...she got hacked!
Chalene wasn't the target of the hack because she is famous, a celebrity or wealthy...she was hacked because she was an accessible target like thousands of others that become victims on a daily basis.
There are always three elements needed for crime to happen.
A criminal
An opportunity
A victim
The goal of crime prevention is to remove any one of those elements and when you do, you will remove the crime. That is exactly what this episode and show notes are about...crime prevention.
The more educated you become, the less likely you will be a victim. The more you insulate yourself, the more you remove the opportunity. Chalene wants this story shared so that other's don't also become victims.
