Don't Let Anyone Be You Except You
Protecting your information online is easy if you know what to look for. Use the resources below to keep up to date on ways to protect your online identity.
Cyber Security Awareness
There are four critical areas of cyber security students need to give careful attention.
Phishing
Phishing schemes are attempts by hackers to fool you into giving up your username and password, often without realizing you've done it. |
Copyright
Students have a lot of freedom when it comes to the use of copyrighted resources for educational purposes. But with great freedom comes great responsibility - and big penalties if you get it wrong. |
File Sharing
Sure, there's plenty of places online or via P2P sharing programs where you can download lots of interesting files. But those files could come with programs that steal your identity or copyright violations that ruin your financial future. |
Passwords
Having a good password is like remembering to lock your door when you leave your house: it's a fundamental of security. Picking one that is complex yet remember-able may be easier than you think. |
