Online threats – ways for protection
You can avoid serious consequences by using the following methods to protect yourself from email attacks.
1) Be careful when opening e-mails:
– Always check the sender’s e-mail address, especially if the message contains links or attachments.
– Careful reading of messages and paying attention to unusual requests, grammatical errors.
2) Antivirus software updates:
– Regularly updating antivirus software and scanning the system.
– Installing the latest operating system and web browser updates.
3) Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):
– Use 2FA on all valid accounts, which increases security even if the password is compromised.
– It’s a good idea to consider activating 2FA when logging into an online bank account to secure access to funds; when logging into an email account, where important information and correspondence is stored; when accessing a social media platform, especially when used to communicate with family and friends and share personal photos and information.
Remember the above tips, as they can help you feel more confident using the Internet and protect your personal and financial information from unauthorized access.
