Online safety
In today's digital landscape, online safety is paramount to protect yourself and your personal information. Creating strong, unique passwords for each account and avoiding suspicious links and attachments helps guard against phishing attempts. Adjusting privacy settings on social media and other platforms limits public visibility of your information. Secure your home Wi-Fi network and use public Wi-Fi cautiously, preferably with a virtual private network (VPN). Regularly update your operating system, antivirus software, and apps to patch security vulnerabilities.
