Protecting your online identity is crucial in today's digital age.

• Monitor Your Digital Footprint: Regularly check your name online and adjust social media privacy settings.

• Beware of Phishing Scams: Avoid clicking on links or opening attachments from unknown senders. Verify suspicious emails directly with the company.

• Review and Limit App Permissions: Minimize data breaches by being cautious of unnecessary data requests when registering for services.

Be cautious with pop-up ads or alerts as they may lead to malware or phishing attempts. Verify their legitimacy before taking any action and use up-to-date ad-blocker software and security browser extensions to block risky contents. These steps help protect your data and reduce the risk of cyberattacks.

Ensure that any sensitive information you send over the internet is encrypted, especially when using public networks like those in coffee shops or airports. Also consider using a VPN when accessing Public or Unknown Network Connection as this helps protect your data from unauthorized access and interception.

To strengthen your online security, enable a two-factor authentication (2FA). This adds an extra layer of protection by requiring two forms of identification: something you know (like a password) and something you have (like a verification code sent to your phone). Security questions alone do not count as a second factor in 2FA.
