Cuestionario de Seguridad Online

Do you know how to stay safe on the Internet? Do you feel at ease when you log into your social networks, when you shop online or use mobile banking?

Discover if you have the OSIQ of a caveman, or the superpowers of a Security whiz: Take this simple test and discover your Online Security IQ and what character it represents.

You’ll see everything you know, and what you need to learn!

Your passwords are...

It’s always the same, so I don’t get confused and forget it. I’ve got a pattern that I customise depending on the service. A combination of letters and numbers that are not related to my life. I change them but I always include things I can remember (date of birth, anniversary, family names...).

The best way to set a password is:

A combination of capitals, numbers, symbols…with more than 6 characters. A numerical series of 6 characters or more. Numbers and words related to your life so you can remember them without having to write them down.

If you find a USB flash drive in work...

I try to find out if it belongs to someone and if I can’t find them, I keep it. It’s always good to have one handy! I pick it up and hand it in to security so they can find the owner. I take the USB and plug it into my computer to see if I can tell who it belongs to from the files saved on it, so I can return it.

Which of the following statements best describes what you do?

I’ve always had the same password for everything but I’m the only one who knows it, I’ve never shared it with anyone. I change my password sometimes, but I always end up forgetting it and recovering it is a pain. For services such as e-mail I use dual authentication for greater security.

You don’t need to be as careful with your mobile as you are with a computer.

True, mobiles are much more secure and are not affected by viruses as much. False. Mobiles are like little computers and you must take the same precautions. True, you can connect to any open WiFi network securely from mobile phones, but not from your computer.

You’re on holiday and the only connection you have available is the hotel’s WiFi. What do you do?

I connect as soon as I can to check my e-mail, see if I’ve got any Whatsapps, take a look at my social networks... I try to connect for a short time and for unimportant issues as the network is not secure. I never log into my bank account, e-mail or shop online. I connect from my computer because I’ve got a good antivirus and it’s safe to consult anything.

Do you usually check the balance of your online accounts?

Not usually. Only at the end of the month, when things are a bit tighter and to see if I’ve been paid. Yes, I often check them. That way I can detect any suspicious activity.

I take the following precautions with my mobile...

I always update my software. I have a password that only I know. Both of the above. I don’t take any additional precautions, it updates automatically.

Do you pay any attention to the commercial e-mails you receive?

Yes, but I never give personal data if they ask me by e-mail. If I’m interested in an offer I check with the company through official channels first. It depends, only when the offer is really worth it. Or if it’s a promotion to win an iPad, car or similar. If not, I never give my data. Always! You sometimes receive great deals and promotions that you know nothing about unless you open them.

When I use online banking:

I use the same password as my bank card, so I don’t forget it. I have a specific, secure password just for online banking. I check if the open WiFi network I’m using seems reliable.

What is Phishing?

"Tapping" a telephone to steal personal data. Sending an e-mail pretending to be another person to steal personal information. Buying seafood or fish online.

Do you have backups of your information?

Yes but only of the photos I take with my mobile, I put them on the computer to save them and so they don’t take up space. Yes, I regularly copy everything on an external hard drive. It doesn’t bother me, with my antivirus my information is safe on my computer.

Cybercriminals are...

Easy to detect and only act on the deep web. You’re safe if you only browse secure websites. Are very dangerous and you must be careful, they increasingly use more sophisticated methods. They attack but only under very specific circumstances. If you’re not a millionaire or very famous it’s unlikely that they’ll choose you as a victim.

If I have a trojan I’m exposed to all kinds of dangers because it allows strangers to access my device (computer or mobile) without my consent.

True, but the damage they can cause is limited if you don’t have confidential or valuable information. False, that’s not possible. True, and it’s very dangerous.

Viruses can delete files and disable programs, make them malfunction and infect other devices, but nothing else.

No way! It’s a rumour they invented to scare us. True, they can even block devices, believe it or not. True, but if the virus is deleted the problem is solved.
