Problem Solving:
2. My next steps would be to call all the appropriate institutions that are in charge of my information. If I had given my bank account number I would call my bank and tell them to freeze my accounts. Also I would probably go down to the bank and have all my cards cancelled and changed. If it was something more serious like social security number I would call who ever is in charge of things like those and explain that you think your number was leaked.
3. The email attachment may have been some type of virus or malware. When you opened it there may have been something that started to run in the background. It could be sending all your activity somewhere else which could cause your computer to slow down.
4. I would make sure to open my antivirus software and make sure that it actually needs to be updated. Then if it did I would follow the instructions to update from the app.
7. My first step would be to check and see if caps lock was on and try again. If that didn’t work I would try refreshing the page because maybe it’s just not displaying the same image that the database thought.
8. Usually when you work a job involving the use of company items there is most likely a terms of use which explain how you are allowed to use the items. The first thing you should do is recheck the terms and if you can’t find what you’re looking for I would ask higher ups or someone who would know the terms.
Internet Research:
2. Twitter.com. One thing you can do is make sure to change your password semi-frequently. Another thing is to not login to untrusted sites using your credentials. You can change your tweets to allow that only people who you are following can see them. You can set your profile to private just like on Facebook so only people who you are following can look at your tweets. You can report any post you would like to but you have to specify a reason for doing so and then it gets reviewed. If you use the mobile apps and leave your phone for a bit someone could get into your account through your phone. The same goes with laptops as they usually just automatically log into the site.
