Phishing Attacks (Totem)

Security & Networking

Think before you click. Phishing happens to everyone, but most people only become aware of it once they have become a victim of an attack. Protecting yourself from phishing attacks starts with identifying an email or message as an attack before you click on the link or download the file. But even if you are careful, a phishing attack can still sometimes be successful. Don’t panic.

Traitement médiatique du changement climatique : le niveau des mers (FUN)

Sci: Environment

L’impact du changement climatique sur les écosystèmes, l’économie, l’énergie, la santé et la société rend cruciale sa compréhension par le grand public. Par ailleurs, les décisions politiques, de l’échelle locale au niveau international, peuvent dépendre des questions climatiques et environnementales et les impacter également. Force est de constater que le niveau de compréhension des enjeux autour du climat est toujours mal appréhendé par les citoyens et de les décideurs, mais aussi par les "relais" chargés de leur transmettre les informations scientifiques, que sont les journalistes et les communicants.
