Phon's response to "Home working increases cyber-security fears"
Due to Covid-19 pandemic situation, making a global population is staying distant or “ Social distancing”. People are avoiding social gatherings, face-to-face meetings. Major organizations have announced employees that can remote working from home. Although working from home can help us slow the spread of Covid-19, working from home is increasing cyber-security. And I am also working from home for some time. I have been using my laptop when I work at home. I am quite aware when I have to search for information from websites. I would not explore the website that seems insecure. As they said, home working increases cyber-security fears and gives solutions to ease the problems; supply laptops and other equipment to employees.
There is increased expenditure to the company, it would be impacted by finance. If a company supplies the laptop to all staff, including cyber-security software, it is a big amount to lose. I was thinking nowadays most companies are concerned about the earning or economy of the company.
In fact, the company does not want to burn their profits and try to control the budget and saving cost as much as possible. It is reasonable to understand. The employees can avoid the hacking attack by scammers, studying and investigating how to anticipate the cyber problem.

I like Phon's question. My own answer is a bit weak: I keep my Window's software up to date, and I don't visit websites with warnings from my browser. And I never open links from unknown sources. I don't think I've ever had a problem, but perhaps I don't have anything that would tempt hackers to hack me. I wonder what access to my AUA Google account would be worth on the dark web? I suspect not a lot.
