Few tips to stay safe online
Today I‘m just writing about a few tips that could help you to stay safe online.
So let’s start:
Tip number one: never use the same password on multiple sites.
A lot of users use the same password on multiple sites. And this is a bad habit. because if a hacker gets your password on one site, he can use it to log into your other accounts.
Hackers know that users use the same password and username on multiple sites, For this reason, When they get a password. They will try to use it on different sites.
So always avoid using the same password on multiple sites.
Tip number two: never Click on this link:
Sometimes you receive emails from people you don’t know. they tell you to click on a link. Don’t click on it, Because they are trying to hack you.
Hackers use phishing emails all the time. So never trust emails coming from strangers.
They also use PDF files, word documents, and exe files to hack their victims. So when you get an email from a stranger telling you to open a PDF don’t open it.
Hackers sometimes send emails to their victims pretending that they are their bank, And tell them that they need to click on a link and log into their account. When users click and try to log in, hackers steal their bank account details and their money too.
So rule number one, never trust emails that tell you to log into your accounts.
And also never trust messages from strangers on Facebook that tell you to do something.
Tip three: use secure passwords:
Users use weak passwords all the time because they are easy to remember. And they avoid using secure passwords because they are hard to remember.
You should always use secure passwords to protect your accounts, And avoid using weak passwords.
And here is why?
Weak passwords are easy to crack, and because of this hackers can know your passwords and use them to log into your accounts. But when you use a secure password, it will take them a long time to know it. So always try to use a long secure password.
