Free Security Awareness Chapter 1 - Here is How I will Hack You!

Here’s how I’ll hack you. If I can’t find a way to get to you directly, the next step is to attack your friends or family… one of them is going to take the bait, and once I take over their account, I’ll be able to get to you. Imagine I took over your Mother’s account and sent you an email message that read - “I got my test results from the lab but I can’t open them, I asked Jenny, and she also couldn’t. Can you help me?”, I then include a malicious attachment called test results for you to click.

Btw, who is Jenny? It’s your sister, I found her name on your facebook account. Scary right? That’s why we can’t treat digital identities like real people, because you never truly know who is actually behind them. Make it a habit to call and verify who you are talking to. If it’s family or a friend, you can ask simple questions that only you and they know. If it’s your CEO or someone you don’t directly report to and you feel uncomfortable calling them, talk to your manager. Should you be paranoid? Probably not. However, you shouldn’t automatically trust an email, phone number, or text message just because you recognize them.

Cyber-attacks happen daily. By viewing this training Cybersecurity course, I'm learning more and more how easy it is for someone to go into my emails and send it like if it was someone, I know to get my personal and work information. The more I read the more awareness I have to protect my information.

The way she lies with such ease is pure evil to me. That man could have been arrested for assault or someone in her family could have gone after him and ended him over that evil ass lie. She needs to be sued for slander and made to o on every media outlet confessing to that lie.
