As we enter the new year of 2023, it's important to prioritize cyber security and take steps to protect ourselves and our personal information online. Here are some tips for staying cyber safe in the coming year:
Use strong and unique passwords: Using the same password for multiple accounts or using weak passwords can leave you vulnerable to hacking. Make sure to use a different password for each of your accounts and use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters to create a strong password.
Enable two-factor authentication EVERYWHERE: Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring you to enter a code sent to your phone or email in addition to your password. This helps prevent unauthorized access to your accounts even if your password is compromised.
Keep your software and devices up to date: Installing updates for your operating system, antivirus software, and other devices can help protect against known vulnerabilities. Set your devices to automatically update to ensure that you're always using the most secure version.
Be cautious of suspicious emails and websites: Hackers often use phishing scams to trick people into giving away their personal information or downloading malicious software. Be wary of emails or websites that seem suspicious, and don't click on links or enter your personal information unless you're sure it's safe.
By following these tips, you can help protect yourself and your personal information online in the coming year. Stay vigilant and stay cyber safe in 2023!
