Quick tips for staying safe online
Phishing Scams
Phishing emails are a common tactic used by cyber-criminals to trick users into revealing their personal information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, or social security numbers. These emails often appear to be legitimate, but they are designed to steal your information or infect your computer with malware.
Secure Passwords
Passwords are the first line of defense in protecting your online accounts and sensitive information from cyber-attacks. However, using weak or easily guessable passwords can leave you vulnerable to hacking attempts.
Software Updates
Keeping your software up to date is an essential part of maintaining good cyber security. Software updates often include security patches and bug fixes that help protect your computer and personal information from cyber-attacks.
Public Wi-Fi & VPNs
Free Wi-Fi is available in many public places, including coffee shops, airports, and hotels. While it’s convenient to have access to free Wi-Fi, it’s important to be aware of the risks associated with using it. Cyber-criminals can use free Wi-Fi to steal your personal information or infect your device with malware. One way to stay safe while using free Wi-Fi is to use a virtual private network (VPN).
