You Are a Target to Hackers

  • Don’t Ever say “It won’t happen to me.”

Practice Good Password Management

  • Use a strong mix of characters, and don’t use the same password for multiple sites.
  • Don’t share your password with others and don’t write it down.

Only Connect to Trusted Networks

  • Sensitive browsing, such as banking, should only be done on a device and network that belongs to you.

External Devices are a Cybersecurity Risk

  • Be conscientious of what you plug into your computer. Malware can be spread through infected flash drives, external hard drives, and even smartphones.

Use Caution When Sharing Information

  • Offline, be wary if someone calls or emails you asking for sensitive information. It’s okay to say no. You can always call the company directly to verify credentials before giving out any information.

Routinely Monitor Your Accounts

  • Keep an eye on your accounts for any suspicious activity. If you see something unfamiliar, it could be a sign that your account activity has been compromised.
