Security on the Internet

ICIWorld.net/security• Phishing test

http://www.stopspamhere.ca

• Demo URL address phishing

Password Test

• Take the Password Test

• Microsoft OnLine Safety

04/20/23 13

Passwords Do’s and Don’ts

• DO: Use combinations of upper- and lowercase characters, as well as symbols and numbers. Most hackers focus on commonly used words in dictionary databases.

• Pick long words. The more characters, the harder it is to hack. Combine two unusual, long words around a special character, e.g. labyrinthine;gesticulate.

• Use the first letter of each word from a favorite saying, song lyric or poem. So "Somewhere over the Rainbow" becomes SOTR or sOtR.

• Use foreign language words. Combining a foreign language word and an English word is even more effective.

04/20/23 14

Password Don’ts – Do Not!

• DO NOT• Use a word that appears in a common dictionary.• Use a common word that simply ends with a special character or a

number (Super1 or Flash$). Hackers are aware of this trick.• Use the same password multiple times. Your debit and credit cards

should not have the same PIN numbers, for example.• Use a series, either forwards or backwards (i.e., ABCDEF 654321).• Use common keyboard sequences like QWERTY.• Use an easily guessed word like your name or any variation of it.• Use something that people might be able to guess from your wallet if it's

stolen, like your child's name or your favorite sports team.

Web sites an important Internet Tool

• Web sites are like billboards, if the one we supply can make you $50,000 and the one you presently have is making you money then why not?

• You can link them.

• Like a store

• Compare your physical office cost vs internet store that can supply tremendous information to your prospects and clients.

04/20/23 19

It is content that generates leads

• A web site is a platform on the Internet to hold information.

• By itself it does not make you money.

• It is content that triggers the calls.

• It is content that develops interest and an electronic relationship that can lead to a business relationship.

• People know you are paid on commission. Many feel threatened.

In Marketing

• Our recommendation is simply that it is important to include ICIWorld as one tool in your marketing plans otherwise you are missing a segment of the market.
