Today, Saturday August 3rd, Marci went over several ways to keep your business secure.
She started off the biggest and simplest security fix: Do not use the same password for all your sites. Use one of the password managers available to everyone and make them all unique! There’s Roboform, Lastpass, and Webroot SecureAnyWhere (which includes a password manager). These can all store your passwords securely. And you can generate strong passwords that contain letters, numbers, and special characters. Not just simple letters and numbers (or words) which are much easier to hack.
For social sites, your friends and members can often tell if a hacker is using your account. They don’t “sound” like you. Be yourself when texting in the social sites and the others can tell when it’s not you! Things you say, phrases you use, use of smilies, and some simple details about you that hackers don’t know are easy indicators that it’s NOT you.
She also covered site backups, CPanel issues, Word Press, and, believe it or not, your smart phone and/or iPod!
