Things to keep in mind while you are online
Posted on: 01/Nov/2016 11:52:10 AM
One must be extremely careful while using the internet. Here are a few things to keep in mind before you do.
The first thing to remember always is that an open Wi-Fi is a huge risk. For example, criminals may create a Wi-Fi hotspot and name it something plausible, like McDonalds open Wi-Fi or Hotel Guest 3. Then, let`s say you`ve made sure an open Wi-Fi network is really what it appears to be. If you must use the network, do so as safely as possible: avoid visiting sites that require a login, and especially avoid any financial transactions. No banking, no shopping. If possible, use a VPN.
Your password should be something that no one can guess. Choosing simple, guessable passwords: Pets` names, birthdays, family names, and the likes make for supremely insecure passwords. Instead, start with things other people are unlikely to guess. Try something like ML)k[V/u,p%mA+5m - some random string you`ll never remember. Try some techniques from Kaspersky Password Checker to create strong passwords that are easy to memorise.
Even now, you could certainly be the victim of a hacker who guesses your password. However the odds are much better that your login credentials will be compromised in some gigantic database hack. And if one login name and password opens your e-mail, bank account, Amazon, Facebook…well, you get the idea. So keep several passwords.
Clicking on a link in spam or phishing e-mails may take you to a site that automatically downloads malware to your PC or to a site that looks familiar but steals your password. At the very least, clicking will confirm to spammers that a person opened the message - it lets them know they found a victim, and will send you more.
