As we give a helping hand by volunteering our time to our worthy causes, remember to always ensure that your data is protected from prying eyes. Labour Day should be a day of building communities, and you can do your part by protecting your data and the data of those around you.
OIC Tips:
Before sharing your ID or contact details at a volunteer event, ask how your information will be stored and who has access.
If you are managing a sign-in table, keep clipboards and registration sheets face-down and out of public view.
Before posting Labour Day photos, check the background. Make sure no registration lists, ID badges, or open screens are visible in the shot.
Have a safe and productive Labour Day.

Show mom you care by giving all her devices a simple detox. Not only does it create more storage space, it protects her data from edning up in unwanted places.

Today is World Password Day—the perfect time to audit your digital entry points. A truly secure password isn't just a random word; it’s a strategic defense designed to defy computer prediction.
OIC Tips:
Tip 1: Use passphrases. Four or more random words chained together are harder to crack than symbols alone.
Tip 2: Every account should get its own unique password. Use a dedicated Password Manager, not browser storage.
Tip 3: Activate MFA. A stolen password is useless without your physical device.
