Cybersecurity Awareness Month – Guard Your Digital Footprint
As Cybersecurity Awareness Month concludes, our final focus is on controlling your online presence. Everything shared online contributes to your digital footprint, and attackers can use this information to craft scams or target individuals.
Action:
Search yourself online (Google or Bing) to see what personal details are visible.
Review and adjust privacy settings on at least one social media platform (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn).
Log your action in this Google Form for your final chance to win one of 10 coffee cards.
