Tips on how to protect yourself online

Loop News St Lucia posted an article on Febaury 9, 2021 with tips on how to protect yourself online. Below are some key highlights:

  • You may think that hackers stealing your financial information is the only form of cybercrime you have to worry about but sadly this isn’t the case.
  • Cybercrime continues to evolve with new threats surfacing each year
  • A classic way that computers get infected by malware attacks and other forms of cybercrime is via email attachments in spam emails.
  • Never open an attachment from a sender you do not know. Another way people become victims of cybercrime is by clicking on links in spam emails, other messages, or unfamiliar websites.
  • It’s a good idea to start with a strong encryption password as well as a virtual private network.
