Almost everyone around us is on social media, has access to few or more apps and has shopped for something online. All these activities require you to fill in your details, personal and financial. This may, however, also lead to many threats online. So here we are with few useful tips that will help you stay safe online and free from any harm.
1. Passwords
Passwords are meant to protect your information so make sure your passwords are strong with a combination of letters (upper and lowercase), numbers and special characters that are difficult for others to guess. Do not share your passwords with anyone and keep them changing on a regular basis.
Wisely you can use the privacy settings on various social media and apps to control who can see what information about you.
Don’t share your personal information like email, phone number, address or name of your school to people you don’t know well or at all.
Keep your bio and information short and precise. Also try to make sure no stranger work out much about you from your profile picture’s background, bio, and other information.
Have you ever noticed a padlock symbol in the browser address bar? It means that specific website is secure, so before you give your private or financial details on any website check that padlock icon is there in the address bar. If it’s not there, do not share any such information.
