Friends, I hope everyone is well. Nowadays, the use of internet has increased to make life a little easier. And with the use of the Internet, cyber security risks have also increased.
At present, if there is no need or unnecessary internet, it should not work. The whole world is in one hand. From home to office or any necessary work, everything has become internet dependent.
Just as this use of information technology has led to increased reliance on the Internet, a little carelessness or unawareness can lead to much greater danger. Fatal accident after one click. Misuse of the internet results in incidents like cyber bullying, hacking and blackmailing. Safe use of internet is needed to avoid such incidents.
So today I will discuss with you how to use it safely to avoid cyber risk on the internet. You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people.
Taking measures to secure the account
You need to take strong security measures to protect your online account from hacking. For this you need to set biometric on your device, one time code as security key through mobile, etc. No matter how strong your password is, you will still set these security as extra security.
Create strong passwords
The most important thing in your account is the password. Many people make mistakes when creating this password. With very short and weak passwords so that it is easy to remember. You will never make this mistake.
You need to set a strong password for cyber security in your account. You can add any sentence and any number here. A sentence of at least 12 characters. You can create a simple but difficult password that is easy for you to remember.
You can use spaces, symbols, numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters to make your password stronger. Use strong passwords for very important accounts.
Using different passwords on different accounts
If you have multiple accounts, use different passwords for each account instead of using the same password for all accounts. It helps prevent cyber criminals from stealing passwords. As a precaution, do not set your Gmail account password as a password on any other site.
You must use multiple passwords in multiple accounts. By doing this, if one of your accounts is hacked for any reason, the other accounts will be safe. At least you can separate the passwords of your office and personal accounts.
Write down the password in a safe place
Write down the password for any of your accounts in a secure place. Refrain from saving Google Password Manager passwords unless you need more. Because if your Gmail account is hacked, the hacker will get the password of all your websites. So write down any password of important website in a safe place.
Do not click on suspicious links
Hackers often use hacking links to steal personal information and hack. Hackers send the link to the victim in any way. Cybercriminals often try to steal your personal information through weblinks, social media tunes and online advertisements sent via email. If you suspect any of these links while using the Internet, refrain from clicking on them. Rather delete it without clicking on it.
Provide information on secure websites
One of the things you need to keep in mind when using the internet is whether the website you are browsing is secure. To see this, see if the website's address bar shows https: // or "shttp: //. This means that the website has security measures in place to protect your information. And if you have "http: //" instead of https: //, then it is not safe.
You do not provide any information on such websites. Such as your bank account number, email address, password, etc. Because they can use this information for any purpose. They will see it as soon as you provide any information.
Think before you post information on a website
If you are asked to do something instant on the internet, such as an invitation to take a big opportunity, a tempting offer, etc. And be careful if you are asked for your personal information on these matters. Being alert all the time online is the way to stay safe.
Learn more about the privacy policy before signing up
Almost every web site asks you to read the privacy policy before signing up. You must read the details about the privacy policy then sign up on that web site. Once you sign up for that web site, you must read your personal information about what they will use it for. If you agree with their terms, you can sign up for that site.
Phones and apps are always updated
You will always have your phone and apps updated for your personal information and cyber security. Because only the developers can fix any security flaws. Always use up-to-date security software (anti-virus), web browsers and operating systems to protect your computer.
You can also turn on auto software updates. In this way, any update of the software will actually be an automatic update.
The last thing you need to say is that you must be most aware of online cyber security. If you browse the internet a little more carefully, you can avoid hacking and theft of personal information.
