How soon do we want to be able to reproduce/obtain the information? Real-time backups and immediate access to information in the system is ideal.

Why has there been a dramatic increase in the number of computer-related security incidents in recent years?

With the advancements in information technology, usage of computer in one's personal/business life has increased. This has lead to numerous amount of data exchange on social media or online platforms.

Clicking random links available on Internet is not a wise step. As a user, you must always cross check anything that you are using. Don't touch anything that is spammy or unreliable. Do keep strong antivirus/firewall/malware protection software like Malwarebytes, Immunet, Norton, Kaspersky, Bitdefender etc in your system. Update and use them regularly.


What happens when you put the correct password and username but it doesn't work?

If you have tried it a few times, and it has failed, ask yourself how important this account was to you, depending on what information you stored in it, Ect. If its just a petty video game account, don't worry about it unless you had a lot of personal information stored on it. If its an important account, like your facebook account, then tell someone you trust and ask them what to do.
