Choose strong passwords 2. Stay away from suspicious clickbait 3. Enable two-factor authentication 4. Keep devices and apps up to date 5. Be picky about what Wi-Fi you are using **5 DON'T's OF USING INTERNET** 1. Don't share your password 2. Don't download illicit or unknown software 3. Don't stick with a single email account 4. Don't store personal card details on websites 5. Don't click on any email you don't recognize **3 TYPES OF HACKERS** 1. **Black Hat**: Causes harm. 2. **White Hat**: Helps others. 3. **Gray Hat**: Does both. **Intellectual property (IP)** -refers to creations of the Mind, such as inventions; Literary and artistic works; Designs; and symbols, Names and images used in Commerce. **Identity Theft**- happens when someone takes your name and personal information (like your social security number) and uses it without your permission to do things like open new accounts, use your existing accounts, or obtain medical services. **Hacking**- the act of compromising digital devices and networks through unauthorized access to an account or Computer system. **Cybersecurity**- is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. These cyberattacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users through ransomware; or interrupting normal business processes. **Cloud security**- provides rapid threat detection and remediation, enhancing visibility and intelligence to prevent malware impacts. **Malware**- is a type of software designed to gain unauthorized access or to cause damage to a computer. **Phishing**- is the practice of sending fraudulent emails that resemble emails from reputable sources. **Ransomware**- is a type of malicious software that is designed to extort money by blocking access to files or the computer system until the ransom is paid.
