Cyber security is a huge topic, and through the years the industry changes rapidly to keep up with current threats and related challenges. As a result, some of the beliefs and mindsets we’ve adopted in the industry have changed as well. In this episode, Jay and Joao discuss 5 myths in the security industry that either need to be adjusted, or downright debunked.

In March 18, I saw a video on Odysee regarding an interview from David Bombal titled “Hackers Arise to hack Russia.”
My comment and questions are as follows:
Someone I blocked and muted made a reply saying “sit down, you know nothing about the government” and I do not appreciate that; however, I think I have realized that the downvotes and the reply to my comment makes me think that I’m a bad guy when it comes to getting my feet wet in ethical hacking, so I’m thinking this has something to do with myth #2 that I’m a bad actor and that I get to go to jail which I said in my comment. I have ZERO intention of causing harm. Or maybe I should not come to conclusions due to the downvotes and that someone told me I know nothing about the government and whatever it is? That’s why I’ve decided to mute/block the user because I do not want to deal with the arguement and if the user who made a reply is a troll, then I do not want to feed the troll at all. I’m trying to be civil, but maybe the downvoters do not see it that way.
And besides, I found this myth about getting convicted for letting businesses know about the flaw without causing harm to be very disheartening.
What are your thoughts?
Update 1: So I should use > instead of quote tags. Interesting.
Update: I removed the introduction regarding the related video after my post got merged into this thread.
I moved this over to the video topic now.
Thanks. I probably should have waited.
I didn’t want to comment on YouTube because I’m afraid of the automated spam-filtering algorithms deleting my comment without an explanation on why the YouTube’s system did that.
