October is cyber security awareness month that one so let's start with the most hilarious web security awareness video I have ever seen.
It is brought to you by StopBadware.org and Bluehost.
Here is my summary of the boring video
Keep your software up to date — both on your local computer and on your server.Use strong passwords — and don't use the same passwords everywhere.Removal of unnecessary or unused software — again both on the local computer and on your server. The fact that you do not have these plugins, themes and scripts used won't stop a hacker exploit their vulnerability to break into your system.Use a secure Web host — and not mess with the security settings, unless you know what you're doing. (Yes, I know, this video is created by Bluehost) While it is true, it is usually difficult to tell how secure a webhost. Some of the default settings of webhosts are at the same time very questionable. Why most of them still pushing clients FTP instead of SFTP and save passwords in FTP clients, for example? (Based on tutorials that I see in their knowledge bases).Don't take safe browsing security warnings light-they are there for a reason. If your site is blacklisted, make sure to check Google Webmaster Tools (health-> Malware) for more information. You will also find the "request a review" link there — use to ping Google when solved the problem, so that it can check and blocking of your site.
Some more no-brainers
Use a reputable anti-virus software and update it regularly.Do not click emails, unless you really trust a sender.And frankly, ads that promise to send you a new iPhone or a number of other valuable price free are just malware.
Simple, funny and to the point. You saw another security awareness video that at least not boring?
