Creating Strong Passwords

• Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.
• Include numbers and special characters (e.g., !, @, #).
• Avoid using easily guessable information like your name or birthdate.
• Make your password at least 12 characters long.
• Consider using a passphrase, which is a longer but memorable sequence of words.
• Use a different password for each online account.

Staying Safe Online

• Keep your operating system and software up to date to patch security vulnerabilities.
• Use a reputable antivirus program and keep it updated.
• Be cautious of unsolicited emails and avoid clicking on suspicious links or attachments.
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your accounts whenever possible.
• Use secure, encrypted connections (look for "https://" in website URLs).
• Regularly back up your important data to prevent data loss in case of an attack.

Protecting Against Hackers

• Be skeptical of social engineering tactics where hackers manipulate you into revealing information.
• Use strong, unique passwords for your accounts.
• Regularly monitor your financial accounts for suspicious activity.
• Avoid public Wi-Fi networks for sensitive transactions.
• Secure your home network with a strong password and encryption.
• Consider using a virtual private network (VPN) for added security when browsing.
