Week 7
For all of my passwords, they are written down on a piece of paper and stored in a book in my drawer. I use about five passwords interchangeably and random. When I create a new password now, I try to make words out of numbers and symbols, this way it’s hard to guess, but easy to remember for myself. Thankfully, I have never been hacked (knock on wood) and will continue to use secure connections to access personal information and will only go on public sites when using public connections. I have a hard drive from my last computer that still works, which I converted it to a external hard drive. Now I back up my entire laptop onto to the external hard drive. After lecture, I have realized how important it is to back up everything because it is only matter of time when my laptop will crash. I hope that I will take what I have learned and will continue to be cautious on the my laptop.
