On Friday, 1 February, it was the “Change your password” day in Germany. The day on which we should all feel challenged to pay attention to the security of a password. Actually a good, important topic. And that’s why there will be a “Change your password” day again on February 1, 2020.

What an earthquake in Internet security: just recently, around 1.16 billion combinations of email addresses and associated passwords were published via the Mega cloud platform and discovered by Australian security researcher Troy Hunt. In the meantime, the data on the Mega platform has been deleted again – but numerous copies are circulating on the Internet! The logical consequence is that we should now all check our own e-mail addresses.

Television with 4k resolution? This already elicits a tired smile from some people today. The world of electronics and gadgets seems to offer hardly any sensations in some areas. Even though there will of course be many further developments to come, we are in fact already damn far behind the year 2000. The situation is quite different in the smart home sector: Here we can expect innovations in the near future that will certainly inspire many people and also make life easier for us.

Passwords are very important in today’s digital world. On the PC, laptop or smartphone: Everywhere we have installed little helpers, some of whom manage sensitive data. E.g. bank details or other personal data. To avoid being the victim of fraud, theft or even identity theft, passwords should be as secure as possible.
Unfortunately, passwords like “123456” are still popular and often in use. The problem is: weak passwords can be guessed or calculated quickly. And if you are still logged in to every online service with the same e-mail address and use the same password everywhere, the chances are extremely high that it will happen.
Maximum security when surfing the Internet? A fully protected e-mail communication? Best possible protection against dangerous zero-day attacks by viruses? Protection against intelligent ransomware Trojans, where antivirus solutions do not always help? This is not a utopia! With Cyber Shield we have developed a security tool that works completely different from the well-known protection mechanisms of antivirus solutions.

In other words, many people can no longer do without home banking and all those other little ways that the Internet gives a helping hand. What would it be like then to go for two weeks without using a smartphone and the Internet?

So, what kinds of dangers are present on the Internet?
