Yikes! Roaming around during the Ice Age plains was a lot safer! If a mammoth was going to stomp you, you saw it coming and could duck out of the way, not so with the Internet. I thought I'd be fine with spear phishing, but it wasn't the type of fishing I thought it was. Oh well! This week learned about the types of various types of social engineering attacks, response and precautions you should take.
After this week, I can safely face the Nigerian scams and the other Internet threats with the same confidence I did the Ice Age ones.
Hello DonSmilo! I love how you used imagery in your post. Keep up the good work! I look forward to reading more!
ReplyDeleteHey DonSmilo. That was also the first thing that came to my mind when I read, "spear phishing" lmao, in my culture spear fishing means quite literally
ReplyDeleteLove the comparison! Glad you're now ready to dodge those digital mammoths with Ice Age confidence. Stay sharp!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative comparison! It's fascinating how you've connected the challenges of navigating the Ice Age plains with the complexities of the online world.
ReplyDeleteDonSmilo, Yes i agree to your pointer.With more of our personal informations on internet (public)will make us target for Spear Phishing.
ReplyDeleteI love the little imagination you used for your post, scamming is so easy and hard at the same time these days. It's easier for tech-savvy people who understand scams from a mile away. But with other people, usually, elderly or really young kids, don't understand scams as simple as pretending to be a family member or even when ai comes into play getting better and better at scams every day taking advantage of the empathy we have for one another.
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing me back to the Ice Age to indulge myself in internet safety! I wouldn't live against a mammoth to be really honest. But after learning about Internet safety, I would fare better against a cyber attack than a mammoth.
ReplyDeleteHey Don, like others are saying I enjoyed the imagination you brought with this. Also like you said, it can be a bit challenged trying to encrypt certain scams with the internet.
ReplyDeleteHi Don! Your post is the perfect representation of “more words is not always better.” The comparison is really interesting and did an amazing job further explaining for topic.
