Adrienne spoke to the club about internet security last week and gave us some great information to keep us safe from hackers. Although no antivirus software will keep you completely safe you should have some kind of it installed on your computer and run scans. Another big safety tip was to use security phrases instead of regular passwords, the more consecutive letters, numbers, symbols you use increases your odds of no one getting your passwords. Never open attachments sent to you from unknown sources. Some other red flags from her handout to be cautious of: of you don not recognize the senders email address, the email was sent to many recipients that you do not know, email came at a strange hour. When in doubt err on the side of caution.
