The need to raise awareness for computer security is still obviously relevant. Therefore this holiday is still celebrated worldwide.

Check that you are not logged in to your computer under an admin account that makes it easy for malware to install without needing any confirmation.
Using a user account ensures that no viruses can install without needing explicit confirmation.
Change your password if it was quite a while ago that you last changed that password.
Use a strong password.
Smart attacks don’t start at “A”. They start at “12345678” or “penis”, which obviously is NOT an original nor a safe password.
So use protection on/with your password!

“As the world is increasingly interconnected,
everyone shares the responsibility of securing cyberspace.”
— Newton Lee
