Security Tips

1. Use Strong and Unique Passwords

Many people use weak or easily guessable passwords, making them easy targets for hackers. Use a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using common words or phrases.

2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification (e.g., a code sent to your phone). Always enable 2FA on your email, social media, and banking accounts.

3. Avoid Phishing Scams

Phishing attacks trick users into revealing personal information by pretending to be a legitimate source. Be cautious of emails or messages asking for personal information. Always verify the sender’s identity.

4. Keep Your Software & Devices Updated

Hackers exploit security vulnerabilities in outdated software. Regularly update your operating system, applications, and antivirus software to patch security flaws.

5. Verify Website Security Before Entering Personal Information

Before submitting sensitive data, ensure the website uses HTTPS (check for a padlock icon in the address bar). Avoid entering personal details on unsecured sites.

6. Limit Personal Information Shared Online

Be mindful of the information you share on social media. Cybercriminals can use details like your birthday or location for identity theft or phishing attacks.

7. Be Cautious When Downloading Apps or Software

Only download apps from official sources (Google Play Store, Apple App Store). Avoid installing software from unknown or unverified websites, as they may contain malware.

8. Monitor Your Online Accounts for Suspicious Activity

Regularly review your bank statements, emails, and account activity. If you notice anything unusual, change your password immediately and report suspicious transactions.
