What is one new thing you learned in this module, or something that you knew but had forgotten?
One thing that I found very helpful during this module that I had very little knowledge about where the definitions found in the Hebda & Czar book on page 249-231. This section talks about viruses, worms, trojan horses, logic bombs, and bacteria. The only knowledge I had about a program that damages computer data were viruses, but I was able to see that there are a lot of other programs that can damage and infect computer software.
In my opinion, it is important to keep abreast about what is out there in order to protect our information whether personal or private information about our patients. I also enjoyed the reminder about phishing, spam, and cybercrime. We must be attentive to these threats in order to protect ourselves from fraud or identity theft.
The information covered in this module was very helpful and informative; I have a better idea on how to protect my information and myself from scams.
