Cyber awareness for back to school

Use apps from official app stores to avoid installing potentially harmful apps. Be cautious with browser extensions/add-ons – Some may appear harmless but could be collecting your data, scamming you, displaying unwanted  advertisements and hijacking your browser. Only download from official marketplaces. 

Set/update privacy settings – Use the most  private options on your devices and apps.  

Periodically review privacy settings to make sure they have not changed due to a version update.
