Online security matters more than ever
Here are some key tips to help keep you safe and secure online.
Think Before You Click
Be cautious when clicking on links or opening attachments in emails, social media messages or texts. If something seems suspicious or too good to be true, it probably is.
Use Strong Passwords
Choose passwords that are hard to guess and use different passwords for different accounts. Consider using a password manager to keep track of your passwords.
Keep Your Devices Updated
Install updates for your devices and software as soon as they become available. These updates often include security patches that protect against new threats.
Beware of Public Wi-Fi
Avoid accessing sensitive information when using public Wi-Fi. If you must use it, consider using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) for added security.
Protect Your Personal Information
Be mindful of what you share online and who you share it with. Check privacy settings on your accounts and limit what information is visible to others.
Back Up Your Data
Regularly back up important files and data. Use cloud storage or an external hard drive to ensure you can recover your information if something goes wrong.
Stay Informed
Cyber threats are always evolving. Stay up to date with the latest security advice and be alert to new scams.
