When I entered for my data security class for the first day, the professor started the class by telling us he didn't care if we didn't learn anything in his class, but the 2 primordial things to know about data sec would be Confidentiality, integrity and availability.

take it from me, my instagram account got hacked once because I thought my friend needed me to help them unlock their account. sent me a text message with a link that has the password recovery. after a few more exchanges of words, I could no longer log into my account. turns out my friend's account was also hacked by using the same method. Luckily I was quick enough and was able to recover my account within the same day. frank is right, if something looks and feels suspicious, that's because it probably is
