Privacy is of paramount importance in our digitally interconnected world. While it's true that achieving absolute protection may be elusive, we can only try to take meaningful steps as individuals to safeguard our personal information.
It's vital to exercise discretion about what we share online, only disclosing what's necessary and not excessive. Unfortunately, determined "hackers" may still find a way to breach those defenses, but that doesn't mean we should give up.
Personally, I am utilizing secure password management tools like 1Password and implementing two-factor authentication whenever possible.
I think, as careful as we are, it's incredibly difficult to have the sort of security one needs to mitigate threats effectively. I mean, some of these companies have such high levels of security and they still get havcked...it happened to the CIA a while back too...so what hope does AK and G-DOG have? Like you say though, we should do what we can.
Yeah exactly, even the big corporate firms didn't stand a chance with the hackers! 😖
Just pray hard that we don't fall prey to such an attempt because when they do have that desire to target you, I guess there really isn't anywhere to hide 😰
I'm less of a prayer and more of a take action and counter measures sort of guy...although there was one time I prayed that the donut shop would have the double chocolate donuts I loved so much...for the record, they did not and I have to get cinnamon sugar instead.
Seriously though, I really wanted that double chocolate one!
Ok, seriously now...I think there's a lot of luck involved. A hack can happen to anyone, anytime. In fact, many companies are hacked and never even tell their customers about it. That's a fact. Reprehensible huh?
Love your response, crack me up! 😂
Indeed, that's precisely the reason we're limited in our actions. Even if we've taken all the correct steps, when our data is entrusted to a reliable organization and they fall victim to a cyberattack, the hard work may be in vain. Furthermore, as you mentioned, we might remain unaware of this breach since we were never informed about the company's security compromise 😓
Anyway can I digress a little and check how you deal with downvotes? One of my post just got downvoted for absolutely no reason, I would like to know what is the reason at least..
Ignore the downvotes completely, making an issue of them may make it worse. It's people's right to upvote and downvote as they please. Put it out of your mind and move on. I have had many hundreds of them and never say a word, there's no point.
Well I can understand where you're coming from but there is this frustration that I still can't reconcile as of now. Wanted to at least know what I did wrong so that I can avoid or it is purely a malicious attack for absolutely no reason. Furthermore it is a downvote with a curangel? That's painful 😵
What a downer to start my day seeing that 😞
just had a look...you posted three times in the day...probably that's the reason...it looks farmy. Considering there were/are no other DV's I'd so there was no malicious intent.
Mate, there's far worse things in life then a downvote on the Hive blockchain. Put it into perspective. You can attach a story to it, make it a reason for how you feel, or you can just move the fuck on. I can assure you, over your life you'll have far worse things happen than a meaningless downvote. You have a choice on how to deal with this, just as you'll have a choice on how to deal with being told you have a terminal illness, or one of your parents does, or you get hit by a bus, or that your partner has left you for another man...You hear what I'm saying?
By all means, make it a reason you have a bad day if you like, but I'd suggest you see it as simply something that happened, and then move on. It has no impact on your life.
