This June, we introduced a weeklong social campaign called #NoHacked. The goals for #NoHacked are
to bring awareness to hacking attacks and offer tips on how to keep your sites safe from hackers.
We held the campaign in 11 languages on multiple channels including
Google+,
Twitter and
Weibo. About 1 million people
viewed our tips and hundreds of users used the hashtag #NoHacked to spread awareness and to share
their own tips. Check them out below!
