 1. John William Perry (New York Police Officer)

According to Officer Down Memorial Page, John William Perry was filling his resignation during the 9/11 catastrophe. Once he heard the news about the attack, he immediately rushed to the scene without a second thought. He lost his life to save others when the south tower collapsed. He was later awarded the New York Police Department’s Medal of Honor for his heroic actions.

2. The Rescue Dogs During the 9/11 Attack

It’s easy to assume that the police, army, firefighters, and medics were the greatest heroes of that day. Yet little do we know that the rescue dogs also did their part. With 3000 deaths that overwhelmed the authorities, the dogs did their best to scour Ground Zero for survivors.

3. The Names of the Victims Reflect Relationships

Last 2011, Names.911memorial.org was launched to provide the victims’ next-of-kin. Instead of the traditional alphabetical order, they chose to show the victims’ connection to each other.

4. 9/11 Memorial & Museum

There’s a museum built to commemorate the continuing significance of the attack. Their exhibitions consist of different presentations – interactive technology, archives, narratives, and a collection of artifacts. Learn more about the museum here.

5. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

The 9/11 attack severely damaged the faith of Muslims as well. Though terrorism doesn’t equate to religious beliefs, people had the wrong impression. So Ahmadiyya Muslim community stood with Islam’s true teaching — peace and kindness. In 2011, they had launched their first Muslims for Life campaign. They aim to collect blood donations to honor the victims of 9/11.

Hackers disguised as Employees

They say that trust is perhaps the most important element of a successful workplace. What if, you can’t even trust your employees? There’s a reason why you issued and made contracts to protect your company’s confidential files. A research shows, 59 percent of former employees admitted to steal important, confidential files and information, like customer contact lists.

Social Media Cyber Attacks

Social Media is the New Nicotine of this generation. Where everyone, including your dog or 2-year old baby sister has a Facebook and Twitter, cyber criminals also made their attacks. In 2014, Justin Bieber’s Twitter account was hacked. Serves as a great example of how people can be fooled by hackers/scammers using a hijacked real, verified account.

Expensive Costs

Yes, that’s right. That malware in your system can make you pinch pennies. Did you know that the expensive viruses in the world caused a $38.5 billion financial damage? Care to risk yourself or your company losing that amount of money?
