Hacking has become common these days. Here are few tips that can ensure your
private information stays private.
It is just not big news anymore if a business leader finds his social media
account hacked. And why should it be, when even tech bosses aren't protected from
hackers? So, when Google CEO Sundar Pichai's Quora account was hacked on
Monday, we were not surprised. Pichai's account was reportedly hacked by the same
group who broke into Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Twitter and Pinterest
accounts.
When even tech CEOs are vulnerable, is anyone safe from cyber breaches?
Probably yes, if we follow Sunita Mohanty, director, trust and safety, Google India.
Mohanty tells ETPanache that hacking has become common these days and multiple
platforms not only mean more connectivity but also more risk. She shares a few tips
that can ensure your private information stays private.
1. Create strong passwords
'password', '123456' or 'abc123' are terrible passwords because they're easy
to guess. One way to build a strong password is to think of a phrase or sentence that
other people wouldn't know and then use that to build your password. For example,
think of a personal message like "I want to see more Indian women in technology"
and then build your password from numbers, symbols and the first letters of each
word—'iw2sm!w!T'.
2. Secure your passwords
Just like you wouldn't use the same key for your home, car and office, you
should never use the same password across different websites. Some websites allow
you to add an extra layer of security to your account by enabling a one-time
password. Often referred to as an 'OTP', this will require you to enter another 'key'
or code to unlock your account in addition to your password.
3. Recall value
Once you've created a strong password for each of your online accounts, it
can be a challenge to remember them all. So consider using a trusted password
manager that encrypts and saves your passwords and can be accessed with a single
password and an OTP.
4. Update your recovery options
If you do forget your password or get locked out, you need a way to get back
into your account. Many services will send an email to you at a recovery email
address if you need to reset your password. So it's important to make sure your
recovery email address is up-to-date and is linked to an account you can still access.
5. Phone-y business
Sometimes you can also add a phone number to your profile to receive a
code to reset your password via SMS. Your mobile phone is a more secure
identification method than your recovery email address or a security question
because, unlike the other two, you have physical possession of your mobile phone.
6. Check your settings
Social networking sites allow you to share photos, videos, status updates and
much more. Many of these services offer privacy settings and controls that help you
decide who can see your content before you post it. Use it.
