You are going to find out some few ways to help you stay secure while browsing the web and I hope this will help you stay secure and far from cyber attacks.

Use two-factor authentication

This is the best way to keep your accounts hard to crack because one must have your 4ne on backup codes to log into your accounts.

Avoid using unsecured public Wi-Fi

Avoid using public Wi-Fi’s because some attackers might get advantage and hijack some malicious codes into your Smartphone or PC and even open your Camera and Mic.

Keep your confidential data offline

Many people keep their confidential data online and think they are safe but know that internet is for everyone and there are some cyber experts who are not kind enough to keep your information confidential.

Check if the website uses https and other secured encryptions.

You have to pay attention to sites which are not secure by the aid of your browser and if it does not start with https, then you are not safe.

Pay attention to the address bar if you already know the given site.

Some phishing sites tend to be a lot similar to those of our official sites we always use but for your security, first look at the URL in the address bar. e.g: facabo0k.com =/= facebook.com

Review the Company’s Social Media Presence.

Much more legitimate companies must have their social media pages mentioned and verified so they cannot trick you out.
