I haven't seen it anywhere on tumblr, so just so you know there's been a huge data leak reported with over 26 billion records compromised in many, many websites. Aside from the usual suspects of shady websites with tons of ads, the leak includes twitter, linkedin, adobe, canva, dropbox and tumblr.

please change passwords associated with those sites if you use them, and jic also change your gmail password as it's used to sign on/authenticate people in several websites. here are some tips on creating safe passwords:

make them long! 8 to 12 characters at least

use a combination of numbers, letters and symbols to create a phrase you can remember. for example, if I used my username as a password (which don't. don't do this) you could turn it into: V4mp1r3.$uns

Avoid multiple character repetition if you can. ie. don't add the same number, symbol, lowercase or uppercase letter more than twice

write them down in a notebook or paper only you have access to, or use a password manager

and remember! firefox comes in with more built in protections that any other web browser, install them in your phones if you haven't, and it comes with built in password managers that are accessible in all your logins if you log into your web browsing session. stay safe online!!

TikTok kept tabs on users who watched clips that were tagged under topics such as “LGBT,” short for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, and monitored them for at least a year.

…

Social media companies are known to maintain user profiles in order to offer them personalized ads. However, social media platforms are advised not to collect sensitive data like sexual orientation as it has the potential to make users into targets.

Happy data privacy week! Here's some pointers and reminders on posting your children online!

-most content on CP websites was posted by the parents first. Just because you think the photo you posted was innocuous, doesn't mean it doesn't exist somewhere on a malicious website.

- teaching your kids about internet privacy and forbidding them from posting on social media, getting a phone etc. Does NOTHING for them if you're not following those rules yourself. ESPECIALLY if you're going around posting images of your children.

-set boundaries with your family members about not reposting or sharing content of your children outside of a group chat.

-a pictures worth a thousand words yadda yadda BUT- physical pictures are worth a gazillion. And they minimize the risk of people stealing images of your children.

In the past week, I have had 1100 attempts by Tumblr to track me.

Most of these attempts are by Facebook, with a few attempts by google (for funsies, one assumes).

The information they want includes my name, email, gender, network, location, fingerprint, cookies, and every single bit of information about my device (its brand, id, storage, memory, screen resolution, rotation, battery, advertising id, etc).

Most of this information is probably out there somewhere or the other, in the Great Cloud. I have blocked all these attempts on principle.

"The extent of the connections Facebook builds around its users is supposed to be visible only to the company itself."

Unfortunately Facebook is always there, always watching, and always gathering everything it can about you from you and from your friends and family. Facebook has long tried to pretend that it is not doing exactly what we all fear, but their reach is wide and the truth is leaking out.

Data Protection: How Professional Service Centers Safeguard Your Information

Introduction

Living in the digital age, we store a wealth of data on our computers, from personal photos and private documents to essential business information. This data is often sensitive and private, and its protection is of utmost importance. When it comes to computer repairs, the question of data protection becomes even more critical. Can professional service centers guarantee the safety of your data? The answer is a resounding yes, and this blog aims to explain how they do it. Visit our page for more repair and maintenance tips and assistance at Find My Service Center.

Data Protection: A Fundamental Aspect of Professional Service

Firstly, it's important to understand that any reputable service center sees data protection as a fundamental aspect of its operation. These centers recognize that customers are entrusting them with their devices and valuable and often sensitive data. Upholding the confidentiality and integrity of this data is, therefore, not just a legal obligation but a critical aspect of their service philosophy.

Strict Adherence to Data Privacy Laws and Regulations

Professional service centers operate within the framework of local and international data privacy laws and regulations. These laws provide clear guidelines on how businesses should handle and protect personal data, offering a legal framework for data protection. By adhering to these laws, professional service centers ensure they meet or exceed established data security standards.

Employee Training and Accountability

Professional service centers also recognize that data protection is a team effort. Consequently, they invest heavily in employee training, ensuring that every team member understands the importance of data protection and how to achieve it. This training is paired with a culture of accountability, promoting responsible handling of customer data and swift action in the event of any potential data security issues.

Regular Audits and Updates

Furthermore, these service centers often conduct regular audits and system updates to ensure they are at the forefront of data protection practices. This proactive approach allows them to identify and address any potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, further enhancing data security.

Practical Steps for Data Protection

Understanding the principles that guide professional service centers in data protection is vital. But how do these principles translate into practical measures?

Data Encryption

One of the primary techniques used is data encryption. This technique transforms readable data into a coded format that can only be deciphered with the correct encryption key. This ensures that even if someone were to gain unauthorized access to the device, they would not be able to access the data.

Secure Networks and Firewalls

In addition, professional service centers use secure networks and robust firewalls when performing diagnostics or repairs that involve connecting your device to their systems. These measures help protect your data from potential cyber threats.

Minimal Data Exposure

Professional service centers also follow the principle of minimal data exposure. This means that their technicians only access the areas of your system that are necessary for the repairs, thereby reducing the risk of data breaches.

Use of Antivirus and Anti-Malware Programs

To further enhance data security, these centers often use powerful antivirus and anti-malware programs. These tools help detect and remove any potential threats that might compromise your data. For computer repair/maintenance, book your slot here : Computer Repair Service.

Post-Service Data Protection

Data protection doesn’t end when the repair is complete.

Data Wiping

Once the repair work is complete, professional service centers follow a strict protocol to ensure post-service data protection. For example, if a service center had to back up your data during the repair, they would ensure that all such data is securely wiped from their systems once the service is completed. This procedure ensures that your data doesn't linger on their systems, eliminating any potential risks.

Secure Return and Disposal

Also, professional service centers follow a secure return and disposal process. When returning or disposing of old parts, they take extra precautions to ensure any data that might still reside on these parts is fully protected. They follow secure disposal procedures to prevent data retrieval from discarded parts, thereby ensuring that your data remains safe and confidential. You can also read it here: Data Protection: Safeguarding Your Information.

Clear Communication and Consent

Another critical aspect of post-service data protection is clear communication and consent. Before undertaking any activity that could affect your data, professional service centers will communicate with you clearly and obtain your consent. This transparency ensures that you are always in control of your data.

Conclusion

In conclusion, data protection is a crucial part of professional service center operations. From adhering to data privacy laws and conducting regular audits to implementing robust security measures and ensuring post-service data protection, these centers leave no stone unturned to keep your data secure.

So, when you hand over your device for repair, you can rest easy knowing that your data is in safe hands. Remember, your data is just as important, if not more so, as the device itself. Hence, always choose a service center that values data protection as much as you do.

5 Steps to Keep your Data Safe

Data remains the most valuable asset of any business. Unlike operating systems and applications, once data is lost or seen by the wrong person, disaster may lurk around every corner. The data often contains sensitive information, such as financial records or trade secrets. Social security numbers, credit card information and more could be exposed. When that happens, identity theft becomes a real…
