Fall 2017 | Linfield Magazine - 13 Advice from the webmaster: Be paranoid.

In the 17+ years I’ve been webmaster at Linfield College, I have learned the internet can hurt you anonymously, quickly and painfully. There isn’t enough space in this magazine to cover the topic in detail. But if I had to give an elevator pitch about what you should worry about and what you should do based on my experiences and what Linfield’s Information Technology support desk deals with, it would be this. Hackers and viruses have been around as long as there’s been an internet to hack and infect. The current wave of ransomware is especially bad. Once infected, your computer’s hard drive is encrypted and you have to pay someone for decryption keys that probably won’t work (customer satisfaction isn’t a high priority here). The most common way to get infected is clicking on a link in an email. The single best thing you can do to protect yourself is Jonathan Pierce, a Colorado College graduate, has been tending Linfield’s Internet be paranoid. Imagine that everything you see, read, click presence since 1999. or download is potentially dangerous because it is. My assistant, Sean Ezell ’05, has always believed: “If I didn’t ask for it, I don’t want it.” Be like Sean. If you get email, texts or message requests Back up your data.
