Don't let cybercriminals steal your pot of gold
Saint Patrick's Day may have you feeling extra lucky this month. However, luck should not play a part in your online security plan, both at home and at Yale. Remember, cybercriminals take advantage of any and all holidays.
Here are tips to keep your sensitive data safe this season:
- Know your Risk - The first step is to know where your sensitive or confidential data is. Examples include:
- Online bank accounts
- Online medical accounts (e.g. MyChart)
- Online sites you frequently shop at or enter your credit card information
- Your Yale and personal email
- Devices that store your tax information ('tis the season!)
