On your social media accounts...
Software protection is a MUST!
Don't click on banner ads, websites or emails that claim you have won a prize!
Don't share your credentials!
Be aware of who is around you and may be watching what you are doing online.
Don't use a public computer to log on to your bank or personal accounts!
Learn to differentiate between REAL and FAKE news!
If you used a public computer...
Review what online information exists about you and keep it to a minimum!
Check facts! Authentic news is often backed up by official data, surveys and previous, similar instances of the occurrence being reported.
The more people that know your password, the more likely your account(s) will be compromised!
These are almost always a scam, and they will often try to install malware on your computer or phish for more information.
Ensure you have effective and updated antivirus/antispyware software and firewall running on all of your devices!
Whether using computers found in internet cafés and libraries, there can be a number of risks if you do not take proper care.
Don’t leave your computer, smartphone or tablet unattended.
Consider changing any passwords you may have used once you get back home.
