Protect your Password

Password is our personal property, it's worth our bank account and the limits of our credit cards together and yet we do not watch it like our ... eyes.

Password

The reason for the password, the passwords that we give to various digital services and websites. If this code falls into the wrong hands, the chances of seeing our bank account "sharpened" are rising sharply, and at best you will bombard your email list with unwanted emails. At the same time, the heartbreak security gap has made many lose their sleep, fearing the worst. However, there are a number of "countermeasures", which can help avoid the monsters, protecting their online property. More specifically:

   - Αποφεύγετε να χρησιμοποιείτε «εύκολα» προσωπικά στοιχεία

Beyond the "classic" passwords, the logical "», πολλοί είναι εκείνοι που χρησιμοποιούν κωδικούς πρόσβασης που βασίζονται σε προσωπικά στοιχεία για να τους θυμούνται πιο εύκολα. Η ημερομηνία γέννησης, ο αριθμός κυκλοφορίας του αυτοκινήτου, ακόμα και η διεύθυνση του σπιτιού ή ο αριθμός του τηλεφώνου αξιοποιούνται ως passwords ακριβώς γιατί ο μπορεί να τα θυμάται πιο εύκολα. Εντούτοις, η πρακτική αυτή είναι γνωστή σε όσους θέλουν να μάθουν το password μας. Έτσι συχνά οι σύντομοι αριθμητικοί κωδικοί πρόσβασης είναι «βούτυρο στο ψωμί» όσων απλά γνωρίζουν το έτος και την ημερομηνία γέννησης του θύματος. Άλλα βοηθήματα, όπως τα ονόματα κατοικίδιων ή αγαπημένων προσώπων, εντοπίζονται επίσης εύκολα από την έρευνα των εισβολέων.

   - Δημιουργήστε διαφορετικό κωδικό εισόδου για κάθε ιστοσελίδα

Even if a code falls into the hands of labels, it is important that many applications or websites can not be "opened", giving us access to all of our data. Therefore, a good practice to reduce as much as possible the risk is that users choose as complex as possible, but also more so that they are different for each website they visit.
Αυτό σημαίνει ότι ακόμη και στην περίπτωση που κακόβουλο λογισμικό ή κάποιος επιτήδειος hacker καταφέρει να υποκλέψει, π.χ., τον κωδικό του facebook, αυτός δεν θα είναι ο ίδιος που χρησιμοποιεί ο κάτοχός του και για το e-mail του. Έτσι η is noticeably limited.

   - Χρησιμοποιήστε password managers και «έξυπνους» αλγόριθμους

Αν πάλι η προοπτική να έχετε διαφορετικό password σας φαίνεται βουνό και δεν θέλετε να «σπαζοκεφαλιάζετε» κάθε φορά που μπαίνετε στο Ίντερνετ, υπάρχει λύση. Το «αντίδοτο» για εκείνους που δεν μπορούν να θυμούνται τόσους πολλούς και περίπλοκους κωδικούς είναι η χρήση ενός προγράμματος password , in which all passwords are stored and only one "master password" is required to access all websites.
Alternatively, if you do not trust these programs, you can use your own "algorithm" to remember the complex codes, which may be different per website. For example, if someone was born 1970, Facebook can use the code "f1970acebook" and gmail for the code "g1970mail", so they are different and easy to memorize.

   - Συνθέστε κωδικούς από τα πρώτα γράμματα μιας πρότασης

In the same vein, and in order to create the appropriate code, with a combination of pedestrians and capitals of digits and special characters, you can make use of a proposal. For example, if you do not want to understand your rationale, you can use the first letters of the sentence "Today, on January 29, I create a secure password with at least 20 characters". This will be translated into the code "Σ, σ29I, seXXXXXXX"

Obviously for the aspiring intruder it will be extremely difficult to guess this combination. However, you, having your original suggestion as a help, will be able to remember or compose it when you need to access that service or website.

   - Μην αποκαλύπτετε πουθενά τον κωδικό σας

Once you've managed to make the "supreme" password, it's just as important not to share it with the rest of the world. So, the password must be known only to you, not to reveal it to known or relatives, and not to mark it, at least in a prominent place. It's also a good idea to avoid saving the password from the apps themselves. This is because it is not always certain that the password is stored in secure coded form. Some programs store unencoded passwords in plain text in the system, allowing them to be read by any intruders.

   - Εγκαταστήστε και ανανεώστε τακτικά το antivirus

Because even the most powerful code is useless if intercepted, an equally important method of protection is to install an antivirus on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone. At the same time, however, and beyond its establishment, it is necessary to regularly update and update the program so that it can address the most recent threats. An antivirus that was installed months ago and was not updated is virtually inactive, as malicious software improves almost daily.
