How to be safer online
- Be aware of what you share and who with. Avoid giving sensitive personal information to strangers or on dubious websites.
- If you receive a suspicious message or call, check the information you’re given and contact an expert.
- Keep your devices up to date to guard against any weak spots that cyber criminals could exploit.
- Spot social engineering techniques: learn about tactics such as impersonation, phishing and fake profiles.
- Don’t respond to suspicious requests for personal information, even if they seem genuine.
- Use multifactor authentication on all your accounts. This will make it difficult for cyber criminals to obtain your information even if they succeed in impersonating you.
- Check the identity of who is requesting confidential information or access to your accounts and systems. Don’t trust emails and phone calls as they may be fake.
- Run important data backups on your devices, external units, hard drives and private clouds, and encrypt your copies for greater security.
