Here are some essential steps you can take to safeguard your data:

1. Select Strong Passwords

Create strong and unique passwords for all your accounts, you can include a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessable information such as your name or birthdate. Consider using a reputable password manager to securely store and generate strong passwords.

 

2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication

Enable 2FA whenever possible for your online accounts. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification, such as a code sent to your mobile device, in addition to your password.

3. Use a VPN when using public Wi-Fi

Public Wi-Fi networks are often not secure, which means that cyber thieves can easily intercept your data. So, you need to be cautious when using a public Wi-fi network. Avoid accessing sensitive information or making financial transactions on public networks.When possible, use a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your internet connection and protect your data. A VPN encrypts your data, which makes it much more difficult for cyber thieves to steal.

 

4. Keep Software and Systems Updated

Regularly update your operating system, applications, and software to ensure you have the latest security patches and bug fixes. Cyber thieves often exploit vulnerabilities in outdated software to gain unauthorized access.

 

5. Be Careful of what you click

Be vigilant against phishing attacks, Phishing emails are one of the most common ways that cyber thieves steal personal information.
Cyber thieves attempt to trick you into revealing sensitive information . These emails are designed to look like they are from a legitimate source, such as your bank or credit card company. If you receive an email that asks for personal information, such as your password or credit card number, do not click on any links in the email.

Instead, go directly to the website of the company that the email is supposedly from and log in there.
