Now, let me just say this if you don’t know what a vulnerability is, you might want to go back to school for a refresher course because you’re clearly not cut out for the tech world.

But for those of us who are in the know, we all understand that vulnerabilities can be a real pain in the ***** (or should I say “a real headache” since our necks aren’t really affected by this issue). They’re like little holes in your computer or network that allow bad guys to sneak in and steal your data. And let me tell you, there are some pretty shady characters out there who would love nothing more than to get their hands on all of your sensitive information!

So how can we protect against these ***** vulnerabilities? Well, first things first: make sure that you’re using strong passwords. I know what you’re thinking “But isn’t my cat named ‘password123′”? And the answer is yes, but that doesn’t mean you should use that as your actual password! Instead, try something a little more creative like “MyDogLovesToChaseSquirrelsAndIHateThemToo” or “IOnceAteAnEntirePizzaInOneSittingButItWasn’tAsGoodAsIHoped”.

Next up: keep your software and operating systems up to date. This might seem like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised at how many people neglect this simple step! By keeping everything updated, you’re ensuring that any known vulnerabilities have been patched and fixed before they can cause any damage.

And finally: don’t click on suspicious links or download attachments from unknown sources. This is especially important if you receive an email from someone clgoaling to be your long-lost cousin who just won the lottery and needs your help transferring some money (spoiler alert it’s probably a scam!).

And if all else fails, remember: always keep a backup of your data in case something goes wrong. Because let me tell you, losing everything to a cyber attack is not fun (trust me, I’ve been there).
