Free Information Session on 'Keeping your Personal Information safe'​

One of our wonderful SDC Rewards members, @Bellclare, brought this to my attention and it's such a great bit of information that I wanted to share it with you all.

'ID Support NSW, the state government arm that offers occasional training in personal online safety, regularly runs a FREE session online called 'Keeping Your Personal Information Safe'. The next one is on 10 April, then the next one after that is on 24 April. '

The 45-minute webinar teaches why protecting your identity is so important and how to keep yourself secure online.

This session will cover:

• What is ID Support
• The importance of protecting your Personal Information
• Common scams
• Online safety and password security
• Proactive steps you can take to mitigate against misuse

Not in NSW? I can't see anything asking about where you reside, so you should be A-OK to book.

Wow! ID Support also has a password checker, too.

If you're on the fence about trying it (which is a good thing!), it says on their website:

'The Password Strength Tester is anonymous. We never collect, track, or store your passwords, so no one can link them to your usernames, accounts, or websites.

Your password is assessed directly from this page, not on our servers. If you close the window or switch pages, the page will refresh.'

Thanks for the heads-up, @Bellclare! Very much appreciated
