Internet Precautions
Staying safe online is simpler than many advertisements suggest. Focus on these four key practices to reduce the risk of being hacked:
-
Use Common Sense
Trust your instincts online—if something seems off, it probably is. Avoid clicking on unknown links or accepting requests from unfamiliar sources. -
Avoid Malicious Software
Malware often masquerades as legitimate software. To prevent infection, download programs only from trusted sources and be wary of free downloads and pop-ups. -
Be Cautious with Stored Passwords
While storing passwords in browsers is convenient, it also poses a risk if your device becomes infected with malware. Use a secure password manager instead. -
Utilize Browser Security Extensions
Add an extra layer of security by using browser extensions. Tools like NoScript block harmful scripts and help keep your browsing safe.
