Avoid clicking on ads, even if they seem trustworthy—they’re often used to spread malicious software. Cybercriminals can disguise harmful content behind professional-looking advertisements. These malicious ads may redirect you to fake sites or automatically download harmful software. Just one wrong click can compromise your device or steal your personal information. For better security, always go directly to a website rather than clicking on ads. 

Avoid storing or sending sensitive information, such as passwords or personal data, in plain text. Without encryption, this information can be easily intercepted or accessed by attackers, putting your accounts and privacy at risk. To stay protected, always use secure communication channels like HTTPS or VPNs, and store data using strong encryption methods.

If you receive an unexpected call from someone claiming to be from the government or tech support asking you to install an app, it's likely a scam. These attackers often create a false sense of urgency or offer "help" to avoid in-person processes, then guide you to install malware disguised as a legitimate tool. No official agency or company will ever ask you to download an app through a call or email link. Always hang up and verify the request through trusted,...

Effective cybersecurity follows the Zero Trust principle: never automatically trust any device or person, even if they’re inside your organization. Always verify requests, use strong, unique passwords, and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect your accounts. Make sure to access sensitive information only through secure, approved devices and applications, and stay cautious to keep your data safe.

Be cautious of SMS messages claiming you've received money and prompting you to click a link to check your balance. These messages are often phishing scams designed to steal your personal information. Never click on suspicious links or enter your login details outside the official wallet app or website. Always verify transactions directly through the official app — never through links in messages.

Linking your accounts can be convenient, but it’s like stacking dominoes—if one falls, the others can quickly follow. If someone gets into one linked account, they could also access your personal information, financial data, or other connected platforms. To reduce this risk, use trusted services, turn on two-factor authentication, and regularly remove access for apps or sites you no longer use. These simple steps can help prevent one weak link from putting your entire digital life at risk...

Attackers study human behavior to identify predictable actions they can take advantage of. They often target common habits such as reusing passwords, falling for phishing emails, or neglecting software updates. These behaviors create easy entry points for attackers. By staying alert and practicing good cyber hygiene, you can reduce the risk of being targeted. Don’t make it easy for them — stay unpredictable and security-minded. 

When sharing your screen, only share specific applications instead of your entire desktop to reduce the risk of exposing sensitive information. Be sure to close any emails, chats, or documents that may contain private data before starting the session. Always use password-protected meetings and avoid granting remote control access unless absolutely necessary.

Treat unknown files like unknown food—don’t open them unless you trust the source. Just like eating something suspicious can make you sick, opening untrusted files can infect your device. Attackers often disguise malicious software as harmless-looking attachments or downloads. Always verify the sender, and only open attachments or downloads from sources you fully trust.

To keep your important files safe from things like viruses, computer problems, or accidents, it's best to follow the 3-2-1 backup rule: keep three copies of your files, use two different ways to store them, and keep one copy in a different place like the cloud or another location. This way, even if something goes wrong with your main device, you won’t lose your files. Checking and updating your backups regularly helps make sure everything works when you need it.
