Even though breaches are still going on, employees keep acting neglectful with their passwords. Denial, ignorance, and the fear of forgetting potential new passwords could explain this lack of vigilance regarding hackers and breaches. How to create a strong password, both easy to remember and hacker-proof? How Are We Still Letting Hackers Win? Even though […]
Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, some engineering internships have taken place over the spring-summer semesters. Even though many businesses have been closed this year due to coronavirus restrictions, numerous ESILV students were able to pursue their work during the pandemic. With all the COVID-19 restrictions, the summer of 2020 could have been a washout for […]
Thousand of cyberattacks occur every year. In 2015, Microsoft evaluated that 81% of the big companies had been victims of cyberattacks. This is where the ethical hacker comes into play: a ‘nice’ hacker that works for companies to protect them against regular hackers. Ethical hackers could replace computer engineers in the next decade. It is […]
