Love and Change are in the air. Password Change that is. If you Loved that old password, you do not have to totally scrap it; just Change it up a little when you get the message. In addition, most of you are now noticing those quick Cyber Security lessons “The Inside Man.” Make certain you take the time to watch them. They are fast and have great tips for keeping data safe. Finally, if you use any sort of social media tools, you may want to check out “The Social Dilemma” on Netflix. It is definitely something to make one think about the designers of software and the manner in which behavior can be affected at any age, primarily the developing minds of our students
Password Changes Coming Soon
Phishing Sounds Fun,
If you get an email you were not expecting asking for your password, or to change you password, it is best to go directly to the site to address this. Also, if you are not expecting an email with an attachment, even from a friend, check with them first, preferably in a new email, to make sure they sent it.
In addition, while we appreciate you checking with us to see if a suspicious email is legitimate, by forwarding it, you are possibly infecting our entire district's email system. It is always best to send a screenshot, and you can always use the Phishing Buttons built into Outlook.
