National Cyber Security Awareness Month: Security Planner

October 19, 2020 By Deborah Edwards-Onoro

When I asked my new client about the login and password to their web host and domain registrar, they told me the credentials were the same for both.

It’s much easier for me to to use the same login and password for both, that way I don’t have to remember different logins.

It wasn’t the first time I had a client who used the same login/password combination for their business website.

And it wasn’t the first time I explained the importance of security by using unique logins and passwords as I told my new client about why they should use a password manager.

A New Era in Privacy live free livestream event on January 28, 2019.

When I bought my new smartphone earlier this month, I was excited.

My old phone had crashed and wouldn’t turn on. I needed to get a phone quickly!

I did my due diligence researching online for the features I wanted, bought my phone, and had my local retail phone store add it to my mobile plan.

The new phone was amazing! Fast because of more memory, easier to read due to a brighter screen, and no sudden crashes.

It took me two days before I realized the phone store employee had set up my phone with my web and app activity enabled.

As well as my search history.

Yikes! Continue reading Stay Safe Online: Data Privacy Day on January 28
