This sort of thing makes me skeptical. It's like someone saying "there are a lot of bad guys out there, pay me and I will help you dodge them." But how do you know they aren't a bad guy and you're paying them to scam you?
Ultimately the best way for you to maintain security and privacy is to do it yourself. Second best way is for someone you trust to help you. Least good way is to trust some random website. This one seems to be hosted in Malaysia for what it's worth.
Totally agree, but what about normies who don't know much or have a friend to help? Cyber security is such a deep well that even a professional doesn't know everything
Maybe it's becoming more like medicine, where everyone needs to know the basics but have professionals for guidance?
