Recommendations:

  • Wi-Fi: always change the default router password
  • Install antivirus software on all devices connected to the internet
  • Choose strong and different passwords  for your email and social media accounts
  • Review your apps’ permissions and delete those you don’t use
  • Back up your data and run regular  software updates
  • Secure electronic devices with passwords, PIN or biometric information
  • Review the privacy  settings of your social media accounts

Online shopping safety tips

  • Buy from reliable online vendors and check individual ratings
  • Think twice: if an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is
  • Use credit cards when shopping online for stronger customer protection
  • Check your bank account often for suspicious activity

 

DO NOT:

  • Reply to suspicious messages or calls
  • Open links and attachments in unsolicited emails and text messages
  • Share your bank card details or personal financial information
  • Buy things online that seem to be sold out everywhere else
  • Send money upfront to someone you don’t know
  • Share news that doesn’t come from official sources
  • Make donations to charities without double-checking their authenticity
