Hi guys, we have made to the 10th one and we are going to brief ourselves on how to pimp our passwords.
One of the key pieces of advice that all cyber security specialists give is so simple it’ll blow your mind:
Never, ever (ever, ever, ever!) reuse passwords!
You don't use the same key for your car AND your house, do you?
And don’t think that choosing “password123” and “passwords1234” means you’re doing it right.
This is what a good password looks like (but don’t use this one): c.*%7(:wQ,28{T^7

Check your passwords’ strength: https://howsecureismypassword.net/
Can’t remember them? (Of course you can’t. I can’t either.) Use a password manager.
Well I call this Be wary of social engineering
My reason is simple, Social engineering is quite big with cyber criminals.

What it is: a type of psychological manipulation to get people to bypass normal security procedures or divulge confidential information.
How it can happen:
At home: someone pretending to be from your bank can call to ask you for your online banking password via a link provided by that person. Your password could be harvested and then used to empty your account.
In the workplace: a contractor your company works with asks for private company information that grants access into your system.
In both cases, you answer should be a big, fat NO. Check with your boss and double check info directly with any company/institution before providing any confidential info.
