Many times we can blame corporations for poor security systems, but many times the blame is on us. We are to blame because of poor safety habits that many times put us at risk. To avoid such situations on the Cloud, here are some ways to keep your information secure:
- Don't reuse the same passwords/ use weak passwords. For example if someone hacked your Facebook account they can easily get into your other personal information by using the same password to access other accounts that you hold.
- Back up your data. Don't rely on one service. Store the important files that you access multiple times in Dropbox and maybe in a hard drive.
- Use LastPass to Manage your passwords. This is a utility that locks all your unique passwords under one master password. Which means that you can create different logins, but memorize a single password. Most of the time your data in the cloud is safe, when it comes to security.
