One day Albert Einstein wrote on the blackboard:
9 x 1 = 09
9 x 2 = 18
9 x 3 = 27
9 x 4 = 36
9 x 5 = 45
9 x 6 = 54
9 x 7 = 63
9 x 8 = 72
9 x 9 = 81
9 x 10 = 91
Suddenly there was chaos in the hall because Albert Einstein was wrong, the correct answer for 9 x 10 is 90 and all his students made fun of him.
So Albert Einstein waited for everyone to shut up and said:
“Even though I had correctly analyzed the nine questions, no one congratulated me but when I only missed one question, everyone started laughing; it means that even if a person is very successful, society will notice his smallest mistake and they will enjoy it.
So don't let criticism destroy your dreams, the only person who never makes a mistake is the one who doesn't do anything."

Identity Theft...

Identity theft can be considered one of the worst case scenarios when it comes to cyber security breaches.

There are many ways to help prevent identity theft. Some examples are:
• Be mindful of phishing websites
• Utilize an Anti-virus / Anti-malware program
• Implement a patch management program

Social Media Security...

Many people forget that with social media, although they are not meeting with people face-to-face, revealing too much information about oneself could still lead to dangerous situations, such as social engineering attacks.

1. Don’t Reveal Location:
This seems like an issue of common sense, but many need to be reminded that revealing your location to strangers is never a good idea. Some social media sites require that you input your location, and if that’s the case, you can use your creativity to make a fake location or input one a city/state different from where you are actually located.

2. Create a Private Profile:
Although social media is a useful way of networking professionally and promoting your business, failing to properly manage your profile and privacy settings could have consequences that you cannot undo.

3. Don’t Link Accounts:
Although linking social media accounts may be a convenience to you, it is making it easier for cybercriminals to find you. It is especially important that you don’t link your personal accounts with your business accounts. Some content on one of your social media sites may not be appropriate for content on another site

Phishing Attacks...

Cybercriminals who use phishing scams aim to obtain personal information by appearing to be a legitimate source.

Many times, they masquerade as a major company, such as a bank, appealing to your desire to keep your information safe.

For example, they may send an email that says, “We suspect an unauthorized transaction on your account. To ensure that your account is not compromised, please click the link below and confirm your identity."

Clicking the link or responding to the email can take you to a website that looks authentic, but is in fact a spoof site that serves to steal your personal information and use it for malicious purposes. Act Wisely!
