October is National Cyber Security Awareness month, when several national and state agencies promote safe computing practices.
Joining us for this episode of Campus Voices is Karl Hassler, associate director, IT Security. We talked about why this topic is important to individuals, what people should look out for, what they can do to protect themselves.
The bottom line is that hackers are becoming more organized, getting better and better at “social engineering,” and developing more sophisticated ways of attacking our computers and our information.
Karl also told us why 12345678 is not a good password.
