Many work and personal processes today are concentrated online. But are we all practicing proper digital hygiene?
Do not use the same password for all your accounts.
Enable two-factor authentication for account logins.
Regularly back up data and update your software.
This is the basics. Now, let’s get into the details 👇
🔸 Be cautious with the content of your email inbox to avoid falling victim to phishing. This is an attempt to deceptively obtain your personal information—such as usernames and passwords, bank account numbers, PIN codes—through fake emails, ads, or websites.
🔸 When making online payments or using financial services, always ensure the URL starts with https. This indicates the site uses a secure data transfer protocol.
🔸 Malware can be disguised as a game app, a computer cleaning tool, or even an antivirus program. Avoid downloading software from unknown or suspicious websites, especially files with extensions like .exe, .bat, .docm, .xlsm, .cmd, .vbs.
As you can see, maintaining information hygiene is crucial even at the personal level. And regular cybersecurity training for employees can be even more beneficial 👌
