Cybersecurity
Continued from page 5 shouldn’t trust emails at the same level as a person standing in front of us. • Protect your computer by keeping its operating system patched. By operating system I mean MacOS or Microsoft Windows as the common ones. If you’re running Linux or UNIX, I’m talking to you, too, but you’re likely already nodding. Hackers - good and bad - find vulnerabilities in operating systems and websites. The good hackers tell the companies so that they can fix, or patch, these bugs and problems. You download the patches using the Internet, the software is updated and secure, and future hackers trying to exploit those issues to get into your computer will be thwarted. That’s greatly oversimplified, but you get the idea. • Help others know and practice
good cybersecurity if they’re using the Internet, too. Not everyone in the older generation adapted how they live to regularly use the Internet, so there may be some gaps in knowledge for our senior citizens even about basic usage like sending email. • Antivirus, antimalware software running automatically on your computer, of course. • Enable multi-factor authentication when a site or app offers that option. •Remove your password management from your browser - keep everything in your password manager, secured by one super amazing passphrase. If you do these things, you personally raise the level of security of devices that access the Internet. You’re practicing good cyber hygiene. You are actively working to stop crime against yourself. These practices are simple but do require your attention.
