How to Stay Safe Online!

Internet safety is a huge concern. Technology is everywhere, so risks can be very prevalent. It is vital that people of all ages stay educated on how to stay safe online. Here’s some ways to ensure greater safety in today’s hyper digital society. 

Password safety is something to really pay attention to. Take a second and think about how many passwords you have. The high volume of your accounts could put you at risk if they’re not properly secured. Longer passwords are more safer as well as ones with a variety of characters.

Anti-virus software is a great investment, especially if you have a business. Viruses are everywhere and can sneak up on you fast! Don’t let you personal information get in the wrong hands! Protect your devices from deletion of data and your information being compromised with software.

Like any kind of safety, maintaining common sense, being vigilant and conversation is super helpful. Make sure to talk to kids and less experienced people about internet safety. Be careful about posting too much really private information on your social media accounts. If doesn’t feel right, don’t do it! Also, be sure to watch out for fraudulent websites and suspicious  emails.  Here’s some good resources for that: https://www.bbb.org/all/spot-a-scam/how-to-identify-a-fake-websitehttps://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/protect-yourself-from-phishing-0c7ea947-ba98-3bd9-7184-430e1f860a44
