    Published on February 12, 2021

    Love is in the air but since the arrival of COVID 19 in our lives, the air is also coronavirus-bound which in turn has left no dearth in viruses and malwares which can impact one’s cyberhealth. Sharing with you a quote on behalf of said Paul Ducklin, Principal Security Researcher at Sophos on Cybersecurity Best Practices in the context of Valentine’s day by Paul Ducklin, Principal Security Researcher at Sophos.

    “The best ‘special cybersecurity tip for Valetine’s Day‘ is really simple to describe,” said Paul Ducklin, Principal Security Researcher at Sophos.

    “Even if there’s just one cybersecurity thing you have been meaning to do for months, such as getting a password manager, turning on two-factor authentication., or setting a proper lock code on your phone… why not use Valentine’s Day to show a bit of cybersecurity love to yourself by actually doing it? And then keep on doing it!

    Cybersecurity improvements that you make in your own digital life help everyone else at the same time. Remmeber that if one of your accounts gets hacked, the crooks are almost certainly going to use that account to try to scam or trick your friends and family, using your name to win their trust. So, if you protect yourself better on Valentine’s Day, you protect your loved ones better, too.”
