Youâre welcome.
Computer security is no more or less a concern now than it was in the past. Itâs just most people donât realize it until theyâve been bit. It has gotten a bit more complicated along with the increased complications of the internet. Thatâs not meant to inspire panic or paranoia. Like most of lifeâs hazards itâs best handled by a bit of education, some reasonable precautions, and a plan about what to do if you find yourself compromised.
Not all that different than dealing with hose fires. Education: how fire behaves and how you should behave in a fire. Precaution: not doing stupid stuff with flammables, instal smoke alarms. Plan: how to leave, and where to meet.
In the case of computer security you can think of it this way. Education: what you are doing now. Precaution: Good passwords, 2-step authentication, backups. Plan: How to recover backups if needed, support contacts/services, second way to access internet and services.
But Iâm not an expert. There are plenty of educational sites that specialize in prevention and planing. They will cover it in better detail and clarity than I have.
