Security
I my technology class this week, I learned that it is pretty simple to hack into my computer and retrieve my private information. With a little know-how and experience, hackers can quickly steal my account and confidential information. With my own computer, I do use an anti-virus. However, I don’t stay up to date with Windows patches. Also, I don’t let my browser update. To be more secure online, I can—and will—update. I have always been skeptical of update, mostly because I’m not very tech savvy, but now I am confident that I can update my security barriers to become more secure online. Also I will create stronger passwords, ones that will be more difficult to break, to increase my security.
