Read the reviews of apps before you download, and choose reputable apps. Apps without many reviews and those that have been recently uploaded to the app market or app store are more likely to contain privacy and security problems. —Michael J.

As part of Cyber Security Awareness Month in October, computer science and information technology students offer tips on how they keep their own personal information safe and dodge traps set by clever hackers. The students are members of NYU-Poly’s prestigious Information Systems and Internet Security (ISIS) Lab and the masterminds behind Cyber Security Awareness Week (CSAW), the most comprehensive set of challenges for elite computer science students.
On October 29, more than 300 finalists from across the continental United States will compete for prizes and scholarships on the NYU-Poly Brooklyn campus by solving the kinds of simulated security crises likely to emerge in an increasingly wired world.
