In Pictures: Security mistakes right at your workspace

This workspace contains 10 security mistakes. Can you spot the errors that put confidential information at risk?

Sticky notes with sensitive information

Your employer expects you to remember ALL of those different passwords? What better way to organize them than to write them all down on a sticky note, right?

Wrong. Even without spelling out exactly what those passwords are used for, an industrious criminal or hacker could use them to gain access to private accounts.

Takeaway: Don't write down passwords anywhere, especially not on display on your computer. Use a simple memory system to keep passwords straight.
