Phil O’Brien has worked in the Public (AUS Armed Forces, AUS Government) and several public companies on security matters. He is PASSIONATE about letting people know how to be safe online.
The discussion started with Be Aware Not Afraid, and Phil walked us through some of the steps we can take. I learned how some scams are done. There’s a Little Book of Scams by the ACCC that is downloadable in the presentation. It’s apparently user friendly, but I’m typing this before I download it!
I learned lots more about Phone Hygiene (it’s a thing, people) and Password Manager, enough to get me researching – yes on my phone, stop chuckling! Use of Biometrics, Regular Backups (boring, but necessary), and Have I Been Leaked (another website) to find out if your data is out there.
There were recommendations for Password Managers and ratings (oral, so it’s about ¾ of the way through the presentation), and did you know you can give someone access to your passwords via Password Managers as part of your will – the things you learn.
Please watch this and look at the slides. It was very helpful.
