The Computer Science department of University of Iceland is part of it and we will show three pieces to raise awareness:<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Has my user info (in the worst case: my password) been leaked? Look up who else owns your login data: <a href=\"https:\/\/haveibeenpwned.com\">https:\/\/haveibeenpwned.com<\/a><br \/>\nNote: if your data shows up there to have been leaked, then this is not your fault, but the fault of the website that was storing your data in an insecure manner and you should change your password at that website (also check whether the password has been leaked or only, e.g., your email adress). However, it is your fault if you use the same password for multiple websites: should your password leak from one website, criminals will try that password on other websites and will have success if you use the same password there. <b>Use different passwords for different services.<\/b> Even better: <b>use multifactor authentication<\/b>, i.e. not just a password that can be easily leaked, but in addition something that can be less easily stolen, such as your phone: an authenticator app running on it, an SMS sent to your phone number, or the Icelandic digital ID on your SIM card.<\/li>\n<li>An online quiz on how good you are at identifying phishing emails, i.e. emails trying to trick you into providing information, e.g. passwords: <a href=\"https:\/\/cybersecuritymonth.eu\/quiz\">https:\/\/cybersecuritymonth.eu\/quiz<\/a> (Note: solutions not provided online -- you need to visit us to get hints where you were wrong and where you were right!)<\/li>\n<li>A flyer for kids: <a href=\"https:\/\/uni.hi.is\/helmut\/files\/2022\/11\/cybersecuritytips_IS.pdf\">Hvernig \u00e1 a\u00f0 vera \u00f6ruggur \u00e1 netinu<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coe-raise.eu\/\">CoE RAISE<\/a> (Centre of Excellence for Research on AI- and Simulation-Based Engineering at Exascale) gives a glimpse into artificial intelligence by using a neural network that runs purely in your browser without any connection to a super computer.
