      “Cybercriminals can use personal details, such as your favorite color, the last four digits of your credit card, and your email addresses to make educated guesses about your sign in credentials.” – Larry Alton

      Last week’s recap-

      Day 61: Downloading a new app on your phone is nothing unusual but if the app asks for any sensitive information, do not give them access to it. Your privacy matters! #100securedays

      Day 62: Yes, turn them both off if you aren’t using them or if you are near anyone you find suspicious. This minimizes your exposure to real threats. #100securedays

      Day 63: This automatic download can happen in the form of attachments or images. Disable this on your outlook or Gmail or any other e-mail provider you are currently on. If you don’t know how to do this, contact your IT support. #100securedays

      Day 64: You may think you don’t have sensitive data on your phone but you might be wrong. A hacker can find his way around anything he wants, be it sensitive or personal. Encrypt your phone data, better safe than sorry! #100securedays

      Day 65: Cybercriminals who create fake profiles have ulterior motives. They post fake offers, promising something to the customer or providing fake details on behalf of the business. Do not accept anyone that you feel look suspicious. Double-check the account if you have to confirm the profile. Stay safe & secure! #100securedays
