[Information Security Team - University of Oxford @Ox_IS]

InfoSec has lots of guidance on keeping your devices secure, including how to create strong passwords: https://t.co/a3jZXlEoLT

We can't think of a better day to protect your #data but on #WorldPasswordDay 🔐

[MetaCompliance Ltd @MetaCompliance]

🔐 Happy #WorldPasswordDay! 🔐

Your #passwords are the keys to your online world. When compromised, they pave the way for #cybercriminals to exploit your accounts and #data. Don't risk it. Practice good password hygiene to keep your information safe.

NEW: A first-of-its-kind study led by Oxford has successfully investigated human immunity vs #COVID19 in people who already have antibodies against it.

The results suggest that previous infection, together with vaccination, offers strong protection.
