Description:
For this project we are tasked with finding relevant information and cybersecurity articles. We also are tasked with taking cybersecurity training.
Lessons learned:
During this assignment I learned that there is a lot of issues and problems in the cybersecurity world that I did not know of. I also learned about google new search that I didn't know was a thing before. I learned new terms like phishing that I didn't know about before.
Social security numbers reportedly leaked:
This article talks about how a hacking group called USDoD claims they have access to everyone's social security numbers. Everyone in the US could possibly been affected by this hack. We can prevent this from happening again by upping our cybersecurity especially for sensitive information like social security numbers and adding a feature like 2 step verification to this information.
