Let’s think back to before technology, when we used to lock our important documents in a filing cabinet 😁 Today, we have less and less paper documents, concert tickets, bank cheques etc. and more electronic ones, so we need a new way to lock up our new assets that are stored electronically.

Last week before the Taylor Swift Australian Melbourne concert, some fans had purchased electronic tickets online and their accounts were hacked. Subsequently their electronic tickets were stolen and resold! 😯

This is a timely reminder for us to be aware that we need to keep our new electronic assets safe. Just as we had locked filing cabinets in the past and then used passwords when technology was first introduced, experts are now recommending that we use strong and unique passphrases for different accounts. Passphrases are more secure than passwords and:

💎Easy to remember

💎Harder to hack

💎Use random words in a sentence so it’s harder for a computer to guess
