Strong passwords, updates and a healthy suspicion of links go a long way. Learn the everyday habits that keep your accounts and data safe.
Most online attacks target simple weaknesses: reused passwords, outdated software and convincing phishing messages. Fixing these covers the majority of risk.
Essential Habits
- Use a password manager and unique passwords
- Turn on two-factor authentication everywhere
- Install updates promptly on phones and computers
- Back up important files to a separate location
Spotting Phishing
Be wary of urgent messages asking you to log in, pay or confirm details. Check the sender address and visit websites directly instead of clicking links.
