Your Profile
Some others might call you old-fashioned, but you know better - why fix what isn't broken? You gravitate towards the classics, even when it may be less efficient, because there's a certain aesthetic present in yesterday's style that's missing today.
You might be a thrift store shopper, or prefer your music on vinyl, and you might have an appreciation for classic cars and physical books (you can't smell the pages on on a Kindle!).
Your Cyber Security Tips
For the Vintage technology user, the following Cyber Security tips may help you in your journey towards a safe cyber presence:
- You may use social media rarely, if at all — this is great for a subtle cyber footprint! If you do use social media, make sure to check your privacy settings regularly.
- You might not like the changes that come with software updates, but don't put them off! Software updates are a core tool to prevent software exploitation. The longer you wait between updates, the more dramatic the changes will feel.
- Unlikely classic cars or wine, computers rarely get better with age. You don't need the newest computer on the market, but be ready to replace your laptop after 4-5 years of use. This is normal, expected wear and tear!
- Spending less time on a computer and with technology can make you less likely to spot red flags in websites and emails. Use a trusted friend (or the ITS Help Desk!) to help you identify safe and unsafe items online.
