Strong Passwords

A strong password is an important element of online security. It works to protect personal information from everyone's access. A strong password aims to be unique, and difficult to predict. Common patterns like "123456" or "000000" are an example of things you shouldn't choose as your password. Data filtration is a common thing on the internet, it may have happened to you and you may have not noticed yet. A filtration happens when the passwords aren't secure enough, and are successfully guessed. If you don’t know how to create a strong password, it is recommended to use something like a password manager, a tool that can auto-generate secure passwords, at the same time that it keeps them written on your device. A historical example of a massive password leak happened to Linkedin in 2012, millions of users got their accounts hacked, and their information stolen. The consequences were an immense increase of data sales on the dark web, and damage to the company’s reputation

Phishing

Phishing refers to the action of using different methods to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information such as passwords or credit card numbers. It commonly occurs through spam emails, text messages, or websites. The term comes from the relation to fishing, where attackers use "bait" to lead victims into providing their personal data. Phishing attacks can take many forms, including massive email phishing , individually targeting someone, text messages, and phone calls. The unawareness about these attacks often causes them to be successful, with people not knowing what they are getting into. The methods that are used have changed to look for unknown and undetectable ways to steal someone's information One famous example of phishing occurred during the US presidential election of 2016, when Russian hackers sent a fake email to people associated with Hillary Clinton's political campaign. Many of their email accounts had their information successfully stolen by this attack. The best things you can do to avoid phishing are:

Identity theft

Identity theft is the illegal act of obtaining and utilizing another person's personal information (usually for financial gain or fraudulent purposes) such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, or other sensitive data. People can impersonate victims through this frequent behavior, which can seriously harm their financial situation, reputation, and safety. Identity theft victims may find it difficult to undo the harm, which can include more serious crimes done in their name as well as unauthorized transactions. There are different forms of identity theft, including financial identity theft, where criminals use stolen information to make purchases or open new accounts; criminal identity theft, where a criminal provides someone else’s identity when arrested; and medical identity theft, where healthcare services are illegally obtained in someone else's name. The consequences for victims can vary from including financial loss, damage to credit scores, and even legal challenges. While identity theft is a criminal offense, victims often suffer long and complex processes to resolve the problems caused.

Example:

Google Apps for Education

Google Apps for Education, now known as Google Workspace for Education, is cloud-based productivity tools designed specifically for educational institutions, basically, for students.

With features like shared documents and classroom management, educators can create an interactive learning environment..

Trademarks

Trademarks are signs, such as words or images that distinguish one product from another. They could be words, symbols, sounds or colors which serve to distinguish the goods or services of one source from others. They are used for preventing confusion in trade. Trademarks are important because they establish an company’s identity, build customer trust by helping prevent others from copying or mimicking your distinctive features and can also be a valuable source of income if managed properly. Businesses need to trademark to be the only one who can claim exclusive rights in its employment.
