• Teens Preach Gospel of Online Security (belmontvoice.org) — Belmont High School’s Cybersecurity Club is sounding the alarm about how casually many local teens treat their online passwords. After surveying 60 Belmont High students, the club’s leaders found heavy password reuse and infrequent updates, and they’re now urging classmates to adopt stronger, unique passwords and multi-factor authentication to better protect personal data.
