Can’t we just click and if it’s not what we want or thought it would be, just go back? jf2832 https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160906367 2017-03-18 01:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160906367 Experts say, “When in doubt do not download.” What do you download? What should you think about before you download something? jf2832 https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160906386 2017-03-18 01:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160906386 What does it mean when experts say a computer is “clean”? Please share any experiences you've had with malware attacks. jf2832 https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160906388 2017-03-18 01:42:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160906388 How can you create a password that is easy enough for you to remember without writing down, but complex enough that no one could easily guess it? jf2832 https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160906416 2017-03-18 01:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160906416 Experts have determined that a password should have a minimum of eight characters. Why eight and not seven? Why not 25? jf2832 https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160906417 2017-03-18 01:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160906417 Passwords using a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols are harder to crack than those that are all letters or all numbers. Why does this strategy make a password stronger? jf2832 https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160906418 2017-03-18 01:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160906418 PROTECTING YOUR IDENTITY jf2832 https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160932872 It’s important that we protect our computer from being infected with contaminated software. The more thoughtful we are about protecting our computer, the less likely that our files and entire operating system can be damaged. Each of these three posters reminds us of one way to check if we have protected our computer and all of our stuff on our computer.]]> 2017-03-18 14:13:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160932872 PASSWORD SAFETY jf2832 https://padlet.com/jf2832/passwordsandprotection/wish/160933307 It’s important to have a strong password to protect us online. The stronger our password, the harder it is someone to guess it and pretend to be us. Plus, the stronger our password the more defensible it is against mass computer attacks that could steal our identity information.
