How Secure Is Your Data?
How often do you update your passwords?
Never or very rarely. Passwords are like houseplants: the less you water them, the better!
Sometimes. Only when inspiration strikes — or when a security threat is notified.
Regularly. At least once every six months, I update all passwords on important accounts. Consistency is the key to mastery.
Often. Once a month is the bare minimum. I change my passwords more often than I change my socks.
How often do you check for software and operating system updates?
Never. Do you have to?
Sometimes. My style is to remind me tomorrow.
Regularly. When I see a new notification, I immediately install the update.
Constantly. Programs and software on all my devices are updated automatically.
How often do you use two-factor authentication?
Never. What is it?
Sometimes. I only set up two-factor authentication on important accounts.
Almost always. Additional protection is never a bad thing.
Always. I set up two-factor authentication wherever possible.
Oh no, there has been a data breach. What data of yours could fall into the hands of attackers?
Only email and username. Possibly fictitious.
In addition to email and username — password or phone number. A bit more serious than a dumpling recipe leak.
Details of the bank card linked to the account. Oops.
All personal information, from name and bank details to phone number and address. Should we start panicking yet?
You found out about a data leak in one of your accounts. What should you do?
Ignore it. It’s unlikely that there’s anything valuable there. Or is it?
I’ll change my password. Well, just in case.
Change passwords on all accounts. Especially if they contain repeated words.
This is unlikely to happen to me. But if it does: change all passwords, write to support and set up two-factor authentication again.
What is data encryption?
I don’t know. And I don’t really want to know.
Something related to security. This is a quiz about data leaks!
The process of protecting data using special codes = ciphers. Like a combination lock.
A method of protecting data by converting it into a form that is incomprehensible to other users.
