TECH CLASS: Digital Dust

These days, it seems like almost everything is being done ONLINE. We often ask ourselves how much of our private information is on the Internet and what can we do to help protect that information from falling into the wrong hands? During this discussion, we will go over some of the best practices for securing your online presence. From social media and email to online banking and the Dark Web, we will provide an overview of changes you can make to provide a safer and more secure online experience. We'll even go over trusted websites that will help you determine if your accounts have been compromised. Taught by IT Manager Bob Johnson & Tech Librarian Jen Mullen.
