CHOOSE TWO OF THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS TO DO THE PROJECT

1. I have recently received emails and instant messages that look legitimate at first glance. These messages come with URLs that prompt you to input your personal information. In turn, I think It will steal my credentials and use them to access my accounts and personal data.
2. I think my telephone has a type of malicious software that makes me believe that my cell has a virus. Sometimes, it will fool me into believing that my security measures are old. In turn, they offer new updates for my security settings. So I do not know what to do… 
3. I have opened an email sent by a friend and clicked on a link that looked legitimate and harmless. Once i opened the attachment, it automatically downloads software to my computer. I do not know what has happened and how to fix it
4. I always use the same password for all my accounts and applications. I do not like to use complicated passwords because it is difficult to remember and too long. What do you think?.... 
5. My mobile phone is asking me to install my operating system update but I do not feel like to do so… Do you think it is really important to update it, why?
6. My brother always uses public libraries conections to do his online works. He has an important job and manage sensible information about clients and business. I think this is not a good idea to use public wi-fi connections to do so… What do you think and why…
7. I like online games and spend all my spare time playing on the computer and phone. I even prefer playing over going out with family or friends. My parents are all time telling me to organize better my time but I think it is my hobby and does no harm on me…. What do you think and why….
