Continuing Cybersecurity Awareness Month (CSAM) Education
Cybersecurity Awareness Month is an ideal time to refresh your cybersecurity awareness training. Here is one example of a security terms you should be familiar with:
Phishing Email Attacks
Phishing is a widely used term in cybersecurity that describes an attempt to manipulate users into sharing personal or other credentials. These credentials can be used to hijack the victim’s social media or banking accounts. When attackers use emails as the medium for these attacks, they are called phishing email attacks. These emails are deftly crafted so that they look genuine and pique the interest of the target. The objective is to get victims to believe that the email has been sent by a genuine person or an organization to get them to click on the malicious links or attachments and plant malware on their system.
Updates & Upgrades
As I alluded to in last week's updates, your Desktops have received a Windows update. You will not see any changes or differences as this update addressed several security issues behind the scenes.
Please look for the "Update and Shut Down" option when you are leaving for the day. Thanks.
If you have any questions or concerns, let me know.
Google Slides Hack
Each slide has a unique URL. Copy the link at the top of any slide to link to that slide. Students can collaborate on the same presentation and then turn in the link to THEIR slide.
