Journal Entry 7

  1. Tile 1 – “What I think: One strong password will keep me safe”: I used to believe that if I just had a strong password, I’d be fully protected from cyber threats. But that’s only part of the solution there are other ways hackers can target me, even if my password is secure.
  2. Tile 2 – “What’s actually happening: I am the human firewall”: I realize now that I play a critical role in keeping myself and my data safe. I need to stay alert and recognize phishing attempts, suspicious links, or any odd behavior online because I’m the first line of defense in my own cybersecurity.
  3. Tile 3 – “What hackers are doing: Phishing, password cracking, and social engineering”: While I might be confident in my strong password, hackers are busy using other tactics like phishing emails and manipulating human error to bypass security measures. It’s not just about technology; it’s about outsmarting them through awareness and caution.
