Video: Secure Passwords - Explained By Common Craft

Today we've published a new video: Secure Passwords - Explained by Common Craft

I don't know about you, but in the past I've taken passwords for granted. These days though, I'm very careful with my passwords because I know the risks and what lengths criminals will go to discover someone's password.  This video is about understanding the risks, creating a password that can't be guessed and protecting it from criminals and wandering eyes.

This video will soon be part of our Net Safety Pack, which is meant for helping students of all types understand the risks and make decisions that will protect them and their information online.

Video: Secure Websites in Plain English

We've published a new video called "Secure Websites in Plain English"

Security is obviously an important part of using the Web. Thankfully, through cooperation between a number of organizations, standards have been developed to communicate when a site is secure.  Unfortunately these clues are not always known to everyday Web users.  This video covers the basics of web site security - the common threats, the basics of encryption and how to tell when a site is secure.

The video also covers a new and growing standard that gives banks and other organizations a way to communicate that their site is the genuine article. This new standard, called EV SSL Certification, is meant to battle phishing scams. 

This video, like all our videos, is available for licensing and use by individuals, organizations and websites. Learn more.
