  1. CYBER SECURITY TRAININGVirginia Marine Resources Commission October 2019How to defend yourself in minutes or less. Would I lie to you? Would I try to trick you?.... Ten

  2. …of course I would… I’m a hacker!

  3. Here, lemme show ya how it works…how ‘bout I call you “Pat”, you know, like Patsy, or Mark, like “the Mark”. So, I email you, or have a link on a webpage you’re at, with an urgent message from your bank, or your network provider or somebody else important, maybe your good friend and associate, Joe Schmucketelli, who you’ve known for years, and even went on vacation with awhile ago, maybe your child, or your uncle Desmond in Iowa, maybe your doctor’s office, or maybe even your Mom! Anyway you get this message to go someplace quickly to correct something that apparently is in need of YOUR urgent attention. It’s reeaal important that you click on the link that I provide … RIGHT away! or your account will be disabled or inaccessible or things will get lost!

  4. See…what’s reallygonna happen when you click the link or text attachment or whatever, is you’re gonnagive me something of value to both of us…access to secret, privileged data. The data that is yours to protect, but mine to take. Then I can slip into your account, your PC, your life, without your permission, or you even knowing about it…just what I want. Get it?

  5. After we’ve gotten to know each other a little better…ok, after I’ve gotten to know you better. I’ll start using the stuff you’ve given me, to gain access to even more stuff of yours, of your family’s, of people you know, of clients, co-workers, and even strangers. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and better and better…for me…see? So, to make my day easier, I’d like you to do a few things for me, will ya? First, keep your passwords simple, use like, “password” or “1234”. Don’t make me type anything too hard like “I’mgonnamakeitatough1” or “that hacker is 1 ID10t” Second, don’t scramble or “encrypt” any of the secret stuff ok? Third, in case I happen to be nearby, could ya leave a sticky note on your screen with the username and password?...in case I need to check the game scores or somethin’.

  6. Fourth, if you’re at home, just turn that ol’ firewall off an’ don’t worry about any “security patches” to your PC, unless I tell you, you need it urgently, ok? Fifth, if you are in a coffee shop or someplace with an open WiFi, remember VPN fob’s that encrypt communications are gonna make it harder for me to do MY job, oh, and if you have to get some more cream or a Danish or somethin’, just leave your screen unlocked… nobody’s gonna touch it. Last, and most important, if I ask you for some secret stuff, any secret stuff, like your COV email address, a new (or old) password, account numbers or names, client names, addresses, drivers license numbers, even harvest information,and especially credit card numbers, just hand it over will ya… ya know I’m legit! … Right? So…it’s nice knowing you….real nice. You can call me…well, never mind that. Jus’ try to remember, my job, is taget to you…your job is tahelp me do it. Got it?…cool.

  7. The pop quiz ! • If you’d like to help Harry “the hacker”, then do what he wants (operators are ready 24 hours a day). If you’d like to help yourself, your co-workers and friends, then don’t be tricked by Harry. • Don’t forget you are required to take a quiz after completing the training. Access the quiz by logging into the “Employee Portal”.  You will find the quiz under the “System Access”.  It is a multiple choice test and should only take a couple of minutes to complete.  You must pass the test with a 90% or better - but you can take the test as many times as needed.  When you pass the test you will receive a “Nice Job! You've passed!” message (and a frown from Harry). Harry “the hacker” (not his real name), will not like it. ;-)
