We’ve discussed this a couple of times now this term, so I was interested in seeing it pop-up on the BBC website. Here’s the link to a short video …

I’ll be looking at password managers next time, but in case you can’t make it, I’ll write-up a post as well. I use LastPass, but there are others. I also pay a small amount for it so that it can be used on more than one device.
How much do you know about computer fraud?
Recently in a U3A meeting we discussed Computer Fraud. We often do, or so it seems. If it’s not fraud, it’s security online, or scams and what’s done with our data … but more about that later!!!
This short post is just to alert people to a simple, short quiz (or test) that has been produced in conjunction with the UK Government to help people recognise fraudulent activity.
Go to this website, satisfy yourself it’s genuine and is a government backed initiative. According to the Daily Mail – so it must be true – only 9% of people taking a test were able to accurately recognise all the scams and false messages, that despite a claim that 80% felt that they were able to recognise a fraudulent message.
