TIPS AND REFERENCES
Here are some ways you can protect your ownself, family and friends in cybersecurity.
Password safety
Make sure they are at least 10 characters long –including letters, numbers and symbols to make them harder to crack. Besides, don’t write passwords down and share it with your friends. It’s the same as giving them the power to see everything you’ve done.
Mobile & computer safety
Set a strong password on it and be very careful when downloading apps. Avoid open public Wi-Fi networks as they can easily be penetrated by hackers. Instead, consider using a virtual private network, which encrypts everything your device transmits.
Gaming safety
Only download games from legitimate sites, to make sure you don’t download malware. Be wary of people impersonating others or trying to get you to click on misleading links or download malicious attachments. Think smart by not sharing your personal information on gaming sites!
Social Media Safety
Don’t befriend people you don’t actually know in real life. Be aware of cyberbullies and online stalkers. Limit how much you reveal about your daily routines, habits or travels. If you ever feel uncomfortable or threatened by someone online, immediately stop communicating with that person.
