Editor's Notes
- Because it’s getting dangerous out there!
- 2015 Symantec Internet Threat Report You’re vulnerable. What could they want from you? Anonymity Identity Theft, Corporate secrets
- 2015 Symantec Internet Threat Report You’re vulnerable. What could they want from you? Anonymity Identity Theft, Corporate secrets
- More than doubled in 2014 from 4.1 million to 8.8 million (11K/day to 24K/day)
- Run down the basics
- Reputation management services. Don’t know that they’re worth it. Keep pumping out good content. Google alerts.
- Encrypted connections (VPN); SSL; encrypted USBs, hard drives. Encrypt dropbox. Correct addressing.
- Be careful on social networking sites.
- Password vaults. Don’t use the same password for multiple accounts.
- PSI—Personal Software Inspector
- You may want to use a Password Safe or Vault. Two good ones are Password Gorilla and LastPass, a browser plug in. The vault generates long complex passwords and stores them. You protect your password safe or vault with a long passphrase. When you visit a website, LastPass will supply the password you need to log in.
- Search for your name. Set up a Google Alert in Google Dashboard to let you know every day how your name is appearing online. You can set up a search for anything. So if there’s something you want to track online, set up the alert.
