October is NATIONAL CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS MONTH
National Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October is an excellent reminder to maintain and protect your hardware and software.
Here are some helpful tips to protect yourself.
Create secure passwords and don’t share them.
Avoid common words, phrases, and personal information when creating passwords.
Don’t click on links in e-mails. Links are an excellent way to get a virus. The same goes for pop-ups.
Turn on the pop-up blocker on your anti-virus. If you still receive a pop-up, do not click on it.
Never visit unfamiliar websites and beware of look-a-like links. These links will have a similar spelling or will end in .net versus .com will be an infected link attacking your computer.
When using social networks, use the privacy settings to protect your personal information.
