Online Safety and Security

There was an article in yesterday's paper taken from the Sacramento Bee. It offered up some suggestions for protecting yourself  from bad things when venturing into cyber space. The author touched on the things I've been preaching about for years.

Passwords. Probably the easiest way to have your information stolen is to use a crappy password. It amazes me how many people use the same password for everything. If your password is compomised, your day can get pretty bad in a hurry. It's easy to create a strong password. There are tools out there that will generate complex passwords and store them securely. Then you only need to remember one REALLY strong password. Want to know more? Just ask.

Tomorrow I'll talk about TMI on Social Media.
