4 Ways to Protect Against the Very Real Threat of Ransomware

4 Ways to Protect Against the Very Real Threat of Ransomware | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
RANSOMWARE IS A multi-million-dollar crime operation that strikes everyone from hospitals to police departments to online casinos.

It’s such a profitable scheme that experts say traditional cyberthieves are abandoning their old ways of making money—stealing credit card numbers and bank account credentials—in favor of ransomware.

[Information Literacy: A Highway Code for the Internet] | [Tinder Foundation]

[Information Literacy: A Highway Code for the Internet] | [Tinder Foundation] | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Before I worked at Tinder Foundation, I was a digital skills tutor at a UK online centre in Sheffield. When you spend most of your working week teaching people how to use the internet, you start to notice patterns: the same concerns, the same doubts, often expressed in the same words by different people.

At the end of their first lesson, a lot of new users would remark that ‘I still don’t have a clue what I’m doing’, or that they would ‘have forgotten it all by next week’. They weren’t sceptical about the internet per se; what they didn’t have faith in was their own ability to learn. For them, learning to use digital technology was somehow different from learning other skills. On top of that, many had negative experiences of formal education, from which they’d come to feel that they simply weren’t any good at learning.

Truth, lies and the internet a report into young people’s digital fluency | DMLcentral

The internet is now almost certainly the greatest source of information for people living in the UK today. We use it to read up on what is happening in the world, to get advice about things that worry us, to argue and collaborate, to decide who to vote for and who to date. The information we access and consume on the internet is central to forming our attitudes, our beliefs, our views about the world around us and our sense of who we are within it.

On digital literacy and lies | The Opinion Pages

On digital literacy and lies | The Opinion Pages | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
The 21st century has seen the internet relegating the traditional media of information, entertainment, and communication, i.e., newspaper, television, and telephone, to the sidelines. Never before in history have humans had access to such a vast amount of information at their fingertips. With opportunities in abundance to become smart global citizens, we must use the internet judiciously.
