Cybersecurity is top of mind for a lot of people, and for good reason. Cyber risks and attacks are not only impacting individuals with identity theft, but they are also impacting hospitals and businesses.

So, I thought I would compile my fav articles on this very subject that I discovered this week. Let’s take a look:

1. Want Safer Passwords? Don’t Change Them So Often, by Brian Barrett

I say ‘hooray’ to this one. I can’t tell you how often I have forgotten passwords. Everything needs its own password and the love of God, I can’t remember them all!

2. A typo partially stopped hackers from stealing $1 billion from a Bangladesh bank, by Loren Grush

Maybe we should intentionally use typos as a protection tool?

3. Pay up or else: Ransomware is the hot hacking trend of 2016, by Laura Hautala

I think this one speaks or itself. Definitely a serious issue that is not going away.

Well, these were my top picks for the week. What would you add?
