Here are three easy ways to protect yourself and your data:
Think before you share. 🧠 Your name, school, and even birthday can give away more information than you realize. Before you post, pause and ask yourself if you’re revealing anything you wouldn’t want the entire internet to know. Hear how Tanu keeps her data safe and passwords protected.
Beware of phishing. 🐠 Scammers often pretend to be people or companies you trust, sending messages that look real–but aren’t. Never click on links or download attachments unless you’re 100% sure they’re safe. Check out this video from our friends at Cyber.org to learn more about phishing.
Stay cautious on public Wi-Fi. 🚧 Free Wi-Fi might be convenient, but it can also be risky. Hackers can use open networks to access your personal data. Before you log in or make a purchase, wait until you’re on a secure connection. Check out Olivia’s video for quick tips on staying safe while you browse on the go.
