Cyber Security Tip #12: A cure for your Internet addiction

How badly do you need to use someone else�s computer?

You can never know if someone else�s computer is infected with malware, has a
keylogger (that tracks and stores everything you type on the keyboard) or is simply
unsafe.

Stick to your own devices as much as possible.

Cyber Security Tip #13: Trace your digital steps

Do an inventory of your digital footprint.

Step 1: Make a list of online accounts.


Step 2: Set strong passwords for them. All of them.
Step 3: Delete the accounts you haven�t used in the past 6 months.

Decluttering feels goooood!

Cyber Security Tip #14: Why paranoia can be good

It�s okay to be (a little) paranoid.

Being aware of what�s going on, online and offline, can help you keep safe from
compromise.
Simple rules to live by online:
If it sounds/looks too good to be true, it�s probably not true.
If it looks fishy, better stay away.
If someone asks for your confidential data, don�t give it to them.

In small doses, paranoia is a good thing.

Cyber Security Tip #15: Ulterior motives

Linkedin recruiter or attacker in disguise?

Cyber criminals often create fake Linkedin profiles to gain access to details about
you that they can use later. They collect data about your studies, names of
employers and connections, etc.

Check out their profiles before accepting their connection request. Warning signs
to look for:

too little, generic info


picture that looks like stock photography
Very few connections.
