International Computer Security Day

This is a day to think about data safety: passwords, backups and protection from viruses and scammers. It matters for specialists and ordinary users alike.

How it is celebrated: companies and universities run trainings, talks and practice phishing checks. Many people use the day to change passwords and update their software.

The day began in 1988, started by the Association for Computing Machinery, soon after the Morris worm hit the early internet.
