Security 101: Protect Yourself Online
Art by Luke Atkinson
Ever since the Snowden news broke in 2013, issues of individual online privacy and security have attracted unprecedented attention. (Especially when Jennifer Lawrence is involved.) Technical security topics are often presented as black and white: Either an individual is totally vulnerable and clueless, or he/she is a super-secure, badass hacker.
The reality is that online security is a gray area and a process with many small steps. This class will cover some basic techniques of online security. We will provide advice for how to handle your passwords and tips for more secure browsing. You do not need to bring a laptop.
This class has a sequel, Security 202: Encrypt Your Data.
