I find it difficult coming up with new passwords all the time.

Oh I see, that can be hard sometimes. Have you considered using a password manager?

A password manager is an application that stores and manages your passwords. It is safer than manually managing your passwords, creates and stores your passwords for you!

Scammers use email or text messages to trick you into giving them your personal information. They may try to steal your passwords, account numbers, or Social Security numbers. If they get that information, they could gain access to your email, bank, or other accounts.

There are multiple ways to recognize a phishing email. Consider the following: inconsistencies in Email Addresses, bad grammar and spelling mistakes, suspicious attachments, Emails Requesting Login Credentials, Too Good to Be True Emails.

Disconnect your device immediately, back up your files, scan your system for malware, change your credentials, set up a fraud alert. For more information see https://www.agingcare.com/articles/5-steps-to-take-after-clicking-on-a-phishing-link-178044.htm

That's all you need to know about phishing! Let's move on to the next topic.

Oh really? Could you give some examples of public Wi-Fi networks?

Public Wi-Fi allows you to access the internet for free. It can be found in popular public places like airports, trains, restaurants, and hotels.

What kind of internet activities should you never do while on public Wi-Fi networks?

Really any activity is unsafe unfortunately, so you should really watch out, but especially with banking and personal data.

Okay, different topic. Have you ever (illegally) downloaded something on the internet? Movies, music, games, etc?

maybe

An (illegally) downloaded file could contain a piece of malicious software, also known as malware. Assume you have downloaded something from an unreputable website, what could you do to prevent it from harming your computer?

The safest choice is to rely on well-known, quality antivirus software updated at least once a day. Then, you can be sure that downloads from the Internet do not represent a threat to your computer.

That was it for today, hope you learned something. Just one last heads up: platforms like Facebook (which we are using now) aren't actually that secure for your personal data, so watch out with what you post on it!
