“What the Evidence Tells UsWhile most of the research on bullying and cyberbullying has focused on grade school (K–12) students, recent research conducted by professors at Indiana State University shows that bullying and cyberbullying doesn’t come to an end with high school. The researchers found that almost 22 percent of college students reported being cyberbullied while 15 percent reported being bullied.”http://safesupportivelearning.ed.gov/sites/default/files/sssta/20130315_january2012.pdf

Cyber-bullying

If this appears as an ongoing issue:

Danville Area Community College in Danville, Ill., addresses cyberbullying in its Student Handbook under Anti-Harassment in Education. It says, “Cyber Bullying is a form of harassment and a violation of the Student Code of Conduct. It will not be tolerated. Any student found responsible and in violation will be subject to immediate disciplinary action and permanent suspension from Danville Area Community College. Any case of cyber bullying that is determined to be of a criminal or legal nature will be referred to local authorities.”http://safesupportivelearning.ed.gov/sites/default/files/sssta/20130315_january2012.pdf

So, How does it happen?

How did a hacker get my password?

Hackers use several techniques to get your account password.

Malware: If you install a program from the Internet that isn’t from a trusted publisher, it might include malware that logs your keystrokes or searches your PC for saved passwords.

Attacking Internet sites: If hackers break into an Internet site and steal account info, they can check it against other sites to see if you've re-used your password.

Phishing: Hackers often trick people into sending them their account data.

Malware1. If you don’t know it – don’t run it2. Up-to-date Anti Virus and Malware Software

Attacking Internet sites

These sites will ask you to create a login and password as well as ask for a valid email

They will then check your site password against your email login.

Phishing

Email requests to reset your account.

Especially when it includes a “helpful” click here link

Phone calls from Microsoft Operating System

The links will look real, and will often link to what looks like the actual site, but is in fact a copy. (spoofed site)Check the address:greg.bold@boppoly.ac.nz

or www.boppoly.ac.nz

Email Scams

And….

Is it secure? All banks use secure sites

The address should begin https://
