The poster referenced in question 5 is available at this link.

    As you have probably already discovered, the best place to find out what is happening here at Berry during October for Cybersecurity Awareness Month is the InfoSec News and Alerts site (https://cybersecurity.berry.edu). Check out the Events page and find the event Virtual LunchITS - Phishing. On what day of the month is this event happening? Please answer with a number.

    According to the website Stay Safe Online (staysafeonline.org), on what day each year is Data Privacy Day celebrated? (Please answer with a numeric month and day, in the following format - Independence Day would be 0704, Groundhog Day would be 0202)

    Still on the Stay Safe Online site, under the "Stay Safe Online" menu is a section called "Online Safety Basics" which has a section that explains malware, botnets, and ransomware. Ransomware is the name for a type of malware that accesses a victim's files, locks and encrypts them and then demands the victim pay a ransom to get them back. The site claims that ransomware is "like the __________________ kidnapping of valuable data".

    The website https://haveibeenpwned.com is an excellent resource for checking whether your email account may have been compromised as part of a data breach. The resource is entirely free and allows users to quickly assess whether they may have been put at risk due to any online account breaches. The site gathers data from some of the largest breaches, including the Exploit.In breach - how many million UNIQUE EMAIL ADDRESSES were divulged as part of this specific breach? Please answer with a number, i.e. if there were 728,432,789 accounts exposed, then your answer would be 728.

    The security awareness posters which are posted in each residence hall and in Krannert talk about the fact that you are a target. Under the financial category on that poster what is the first financial resource listed? Please fill in the blanks - Your ________ ______ information.
