3 Important Things You Need To Do To Avoid Hackers In 2023
"I don't have plenty money, I am not a famous "celeb". I can't get scammed "
How many times have your heared this statement or even used them yourself ?🥴
You feel because, you are not financially boyant or you are not a famous person, you are safe from any form of cyber attacks . Sadly, this is not true.
Millions of people on the internet still fall prey to cyber attacks.
Here are 3 things you can do this year to stay safe on the cyber space:
1. Do not use the same password across all your platforms. I know you think 🤔 using the same password all across your social/financial platforms will help you remember them. Well, while that may work, you are actually exposing yourself to cyberattack. "if some one can guess your password, they will have access to all your information/ data across all platforms and you can also be impersonated (your contact may fall victim).
2. Stop using your birthdays,pet name,lastname,first name,child name,spouse name etc as your password. All these can easily be guessed!. In my next post, I will be sharing with you some techniques to use when choosing a password.
3. Go to www.haveibeenpawned.com and checked if any of your platforms has been attacked recently.
