Cybersecurity is more critical than ever before. Protecting your identity is crucial with so much of our personal information online. Here are four ways to do just that:
1. Don’t Share Sensitive Information
Don’t share sensitive information online, including your social security number, bank account information, or home address. If a website asks for this information, research the company first to ensure it’s legitimate. Be careful what you click on.
2. Use Strong Passwords
Use unique passwords for all of your online accounts. Avoid using easily guessed words or phrases, and don’t reuse passwords across multiple accounts. Most importantly, don’t share your passwords with anyone. At BetterWorld Technology, we advise our clients to use reliable password managers to generate and keep track of strong passwords.
3. Regularly Check Accounts
Your account balances and activity can reveal that your identity has been stolen. Check your accounts regularly, both credit and bank, to look for suspicious activity. If you see something that doesn’t look right, report it to your bank or credit card company immediately.
4. Prioritize Computer Security
Your computer is a gateway to your online accounts and personal information. Be sure to install reliable antivirus and antimalware software and keep it up to date. Set your computer to update automatically, so you don’t have to remember to do it yourself. BetterWorld Technology uses cutting-edge software to protect our clients’ computers from the latest threats.
