Turn on multifactor authentication
Enable multifactor authentication (MFA) on all your online accounts, especially email, social media, and financial ones, to significantly boost your security against hacking. Use authentication apps or hardware tokens for added protection.
Update your software
Keep your devices secure by regularly updating software, including operating systems, antivirus software, web browsers, and applications.
Think before you click
Don’t share personal info via email/phone, verify requests through trusted channels, and report phishing attempts.
Use strong passwords
Use strong, unique passwords with a mix of characters (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols) to protect your data. Password managers simplify this process and securely store your credentials.
