Analogy/Comparison
Dealing with online security is like making sure your house has strong locks and checking who’s at the door, because tricky people are always looking for ways to get in.
Why It Matters
These security issues can put your money and privacy at risk. For example, a phishing scam almost tricked someone into giving away sensitive details, and a Ring doorbell flaw could let strangers secretly watch homes.
Related Terms
Phishing, Credential stuffing, Two-factor authentication. Jargon Conversion: Phishing is when someone tries to trick you into giving up private information, like your passwords, by pretending to be a trustworthy company. Credential stuffing is when criminals try to use stolen usernames and passwords from one website to log into your accounts on other websites. Two-factor authentication is an extra security step that requires two different ways to prove who you are before you can log in, like a password and a code sent to your phone.
