It is Week Three of Cybersecurity Awareness Month! It’s great to explore, experience and share, but please do so safely! Check out this guidance from the Utah Department of Public Safety:

Never click and tell. Limit what information you post on social media—from personal addresses to where you like to grab coffee. What many people don’t realize is that these seemingly random details are all that criminals need to know to target you, your loved ones, and your physical belongings—online and in the real world. Keep Social Security numbers, account numbers, and passwords private, as well as specific information about yourself, such as your full name, address, birthday, and even vacation plans. Disable location services that allow anyone to see where you are—and where you aren’t—at any given time.

On social media, beware of veiled attempts to collect your personal information. For example, Facebook questionnaires allow others to find out information that may be in your passwords.
