Amazon workers have become more vocal about dangerous conditions during the pandemic, repeatedly going on strike, staging protests, and joining with coworkers to push for change. Often, they've taken to social media, either to raise awareness publicly or to strategize in private conversations about how to force the company to address various issues — but as it turns out, Amazon has been listening in. On Tuesday, Vice reported that Amazon had been monitoring dozens of private and public social-media groups operated by Flex drivers across the US, the UK, and Spain. - Business Insider
A password is your greatest strenght and weakness. A majority of people often reuse the same, or a few passwords. This can make them easy targets for breaches and having identites stolen. A password manager is able to generate strong, unique passwords. Password managers also save passwords in an encrypted format. This is important because, unencrypted passwords can be read by anyone in plain text.
2 Factor Authorization (2FA for short), in conjunction with a strong password, is the best form of login security. 2FA can use either a generated code or a biometric(Finger print reader or facial recoginition). This adds an additional layer of security, since knowing someone's password is not enough to gain access to the account.
Virtual Private Networks(VPNs) have been marketed like wild fire in recent years as a way to protect your privacy and become anonymous online. While a VPN will help with privacy in a way, they are more for security than anything else. A VPN masks your IP address from websites you visit, and encrypts your traffic so your ISP(Internet Service Provider) can not see which sites you visit. You should always use a VPN when using public wifi, think the airport or coffee shop. First, hackers are able to sniff out unencrypted traffic from your network. Using a VPN encrypts your traffic on the public network thus making it impossible for hackers to see what you are doing.
*NordVPN has had some issues with security in the past. They are still a reliable and fast VPN provider.
