July 2018 Security Awareness Newsletter: All about Social Media – Blurb and Scavenger Hunt Questions The social media explosion over the last several years has created a cultural phenomenon where seemingly everything is documented. From dating apps to
neighborhood watch groups, information has never been more accessible, nor has its life cycle been so infinite. What happens on the internet, stays on the internet. Social media can be fun and friendly but the darker side employs scams, fake news, fake friends, bullying, harassment and countless other risks. In this
issue, we cover how organizations and individuals can defend themselves against the unsocial aspects of social media. Scavenger Hunt Questions (and Answers):
1.
This common scam involves fake pages offering bogus promotions or free products in exchange for a like or a share. (Like-farming)
2.
A software program that creates, stores, and syncs passwords across multiple devices is known as what? (Password manager)
3.
This security setting requires an additional code or pin which is typically sent to you via email or text. (Multi-factor or
two-factor authentication)
4.
Using you fingerprint to unlock your smart device is an example of what? (Biometrics)
5.

Posters are a wonderful way to share tips with faculty, staff, and students in passing, or when waiting. Feel free to print and post these items in high
