Digital Spring Cleaning Checklist and April 7 Twitter Chat

[Valerie Vogel <vvogel () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

Last week, the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and Better Business Bureau (BBB) 
announced<http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=1cfc376f9f35e50eaea6eb1e0&id=d1cd4e9f69&e=5968d34733> that they are 
encouraging consumers to put cybersecurity top of mind by urging them to make digital devices an additional target of 
their spring cleaning activities. You can encourage students, faculty, staff, family, and friends to make a thorough 
“digital spring cleaning” an annual ritual. Internet users can get a fresh start with their online life by keeping all 
machines clean, purging their online files, enhancing security features and ensuring that their online reputation 
shines.

NCSA has created a simple Digital Spring Cleaning Checklist to help keep everyone organized. The checklist is available 
to download at no charge: https://staysafeonline.org/stay-safe-online/resources/digital-spring-cleaning-checklist

And for those of you on Twitter, we invite you to join @STOPTHNKCONNECT for the next #ChatSTC Twitter Chat: Digital 
Spring Cleaning – Clean Up Your Cyber Clutter. It begins today — Thursday, April 7 — at 3 pm EDT/noon PDT. This chat 
will discuss ways you can get a fresh start with your online life this spring. Use #ChatSTC to join! @HEISCouncil will 
be there, too.

Thank you,
Valerie
