PLZ HELP 40 POINTS! Task 2 Online Security
Online privacy and data security are a growing concern. Cybercrime is rampant despite the various security measures taken.

Mention five tools to safeguard users against cybercrime. How do these tools help decrease crime?
Provide the details of how each of these tools work.
Describe how these tools are helping to restrict cybercrime.

1. Keep everything up to date

Many breaches, including the 2017 one at the Equifax credit bureau that exposed the financial information of almost every American adult, boil down to someone leaving out-of-date software running. Most major computer companies issue regular updates to protect against newly emerging vulnerabilities.

2.Use strong, unique passwords

Remembering passwords, especially complicated ones, isn’t fun, which is why so much work is going into finding better alternatives. For the time being, though, it’s important to use unique passwords that are different for each site, and not easy-to-hack things like “123456” or “password.”

3. Enable multi-factor authentication

In many situations, websites are requiring users not only to provide a strong password but also to type in a separate code from an app, text message or email message when logging in. It is an extra step, and it’s not perfect, but multi-factor authentication makes it much harder for a hacker to break into your accounts.
