Today, Nov. 3, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America’s Department of Internet Technology issued a set of brief guidelines promoting cybersecurity for parishes and faithful.
The statement reads:
“The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America prioritizes the cybersecurity of our communities and parishioners. Here are four essential actions you, our fellow parishioners, and parishes can take to enhance security:
- Keep software up to date. Enable auto-updates on all your devices.
- Use strong passwords. Create unique passwords for all accounts and consider using a password manager like Apple’s Password or 1Password. Phrases of at least 16 characters mixed with numbers or symbols are best.
- Enable two-factor authentication on all accounts.
- Be alert to phishing! Always verify a sender and think before you click.”
