Man-in-the middle (MitM) attacks are when a hacker or compromised system sits in between two uncompromised people or systems and deciphers the information they're passing to each other, including passwords. If Amy and Beth are passing notes in class, but Chris has to relay those notes, Chris has the opportunity to be the man in the middle. Similarly, in 2017, Equifax removed its apps from the App Store and Google Play store because they were passing sensitive data over insecure channels where hackers could have stolen customer information. A DDoS attack is like a crowd of people blocking the entrance to a shop, making it hard for genuine customers to get in. In the digital world, a DDoS overwhelms a website with so much traffic that it can't function properly, preventing real users from accessing it. It's like a digital traffic jam! 🚦🌐🚫 Phishing is when a hacker posing as a trustworthy party sends you a fraudulent email, hoping you will reveal your personal information voluntarily. Sometimes they lead you to fake "reset your password" screens; other times, the links install malicious code on your device. Password attacks are like someone trying to guess the secret code to your treehouse. They might try many different codes, use clues they know about you, or even try to trick you into revealing it. In the digital world, they're attempting to unlock your accounts. It's why having a strong, unique code (or password) is so important! 🔒🚫🌳 If your router was made before 2018, you might have a WPA2 device, which lacks the same security protocols as newer WPA3 devices. A quick search of your device's model should tell you when it came out and any specific features, such as whether it has WPA2 or WPA3. If you've got a router with WPA2 and are renting it from a provider, call your provider and negotiate for a better, more recent router. Phishing is like someone pretending to be a trusted friend or company to trick you into sharing your secrets. Imagine if someone dressed up as your best friend and asked for your house key. In the digital world, they pretend through fake emails or messages, trying to get your passwords or personal information. Always double-check before sharing any details! 🎣🔐🚫 You'll want to do this frequently. If anything on there looks suspicious, disconnect it and change your Wi-Fi password. After changing your password, you'll have to reconnect all your previously connected devices, but any users or devices that are not authorized to use your network will get the boot. Malware, short for malicious software, is like a digital flu virus for computers and devices. Just as a flu virus can make you sick, malware can harm your computer, steal your information, or take control of your device without you knowing. It's important to have protective measures, like antivirus software, to keep these digital "germs" away. 🦠💻🚫 Remote router access allows anyone not directly connected to your Wi-Fi network to access the router settings. Unless you need to access your router while away from home (which is unlikely), there should be no reason to have remote access enabled.
