#NCSAM Tip of the Day:

Use a fake security question. Itโ€™s important to not use common questions that anyone can find out by looking into your past history. Also, get creative with it, treat security answers like passwordsโ€”the more obscure, the better.

#NCSAM Tip of the Day:

Where should you use MFA?
1. On accounts with your financial info like banks, or online stores
2. On accounts with personal info, like social media
3. On accounts with info you use for work

TLDR: Use MFA everywhere!

Cognitive hacking
This is where a computer system attack relies on changing human users' perceptions and corresponding behaviors in order to be successful. This is a social engineering attack and the information required could be found on your various social media websites.

๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿ“ฒ On Oct. 22, Ontario is set to launch a new vaccine certificate and verification app. Receipts will be available in the form of QR codes. In the coming months, Ontario will also release another credential called Digital ID. I asked experts about usability and security. [1/12]
Some vaccination-credential apps have been criticized for how they handle usersโ€™ information (see the private PORTpass app: cbc.ca/news/canada/caโ€ฆ) but generally, cybersecurity experts say systems like Quebec's (similar to what Ontario is doing) should be secure. [2/12]
Ontario has not publicized the source code for its app yet, but as @BrockUniversity professor of digital media @onthename explains, it's likely the QR codes will contain unique URLs that will interface with the app to check users' vaccination status in a govt. database. [3/12]

If u come across a tempting link,
No harm in analysing it at @virustotal (virustotal.com)

It will take u few seconds but will assure a safer online experience.

#CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth

PS: important when u receive a shortened link (e.g. bit.ly/ow.ly)
Imagine same key 4 all the locks - loose the key and u loose the access.

This applies to passwords/passphrases as well

Use separate passwords/passphrases for different logins

Consider a password manager e.g. @LastPass

As part of #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth, what are Security Design Principles that you know of? In a couple of hours I will proceed to describe the most important ones in a tweet each. Would love to see what you know about them!
1. Minimize Attack Surface:
Your surface should be closed by design. Open ports based on need, not because it's nicer to have multiple ports open. This is production, not testing.
Remove assets that were removed. Keep a checklist (QA - sign off for validation).
2. Least Privilege:
If A shouldn't do X, they are not *granted* X. Starting with an empty slate and going up is better than the opposite, yet harder. Make sure that the user has the requirements to do their job.
If app needs 60% CPU to be safe, then that is given. Same for users
