Lesson 6 Security and Data Protection
Creating a secure password:
At least 8 characters long
Include number, letters, and special characters (@, ¿, #)
Anonymous password (no names, birthdays, pet names)
Double authentication (some websites inform you by e-mail or phone if someone connects to your account from a new terminal)
Recognising spam
Look at the sender: do you know him/her? Is the name on the display consistent with the sender’s e-mail address?
Read the subject of the e-mail : It shouldn’t contain advertisements, references to unknown payments or transactions. It should be credible and relate to your situation.
Read the message: Be aware of grammar and writing mistakes, especially in formal and administrative e-mails. Don’t click on links you don’t know. Beware of requests related to money (earning a prize) or money transfers.
