I would like to share a safety tip with you. If you’ll be travelling, protect your devices from cyber risks by taking the following measures. First, back up your data to a safe location like cloud storage. Then, ensure anti-virus and spyware protection are installed on your devices, and configure a firewall and the anti-virus software so it can check any storage devices you’re hooked up to, like USBs or external hard drives. Furthermore, utilize a PIN or password to lock your device and enable multifactor authentication to help protect the data stored on it. Note that multifactor authentication may not work if you’re roaming or utilizing an in-country SIM card. For added security, select strong passwords or use biometrics such as fingerprint or eye scanning. A password manager tool is recommended since it can generate safer passwords, and encryption is advised to ensure your files are safe in the event someone is able to unlock your device. Additionally, you should enable options that allow you to remotely erase your data or lock your device if it gets lost or stolen.
Don’t you just love hearing new jokes – and sometimes old ones too? This one recently came our way, so let’s check it out. It’s called, “The One O’clock Ticket.”
Milo walked up to the movie theater box office on a Wednesday afternoon and slid his money across the counter.
“One ticket?”
“Yes, please.”
The cashier handed him the ticket, then glanced at the clock.
“It’s one o’clock. Shouldn’t you be in school?
“No, it’s fine. I don’t feel well today.”
?!
