HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM CYBER ATTACKS
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM CYBER ATTACKS :
Any time you engage in online activity you potentially open yourself up to cyber attacks. There is a wide range of techniques hackers can use to steal personal information like passwords, tax records, bank account numbers, or even stop the PC from working. Here are five tips to stay safe online:

Shop wisely
If you are planning on doing some online shopping, make sure the website used is a trusted brand and relies on secure technology. On the checkout or other page that asks for personal details, be sure the browser has a secure address and begins with https:. Also, most online stores will clearly state the website uses the latest security technology to keep their customer details safe and encrypted.
Monitor childrens online activity

Use and install parental control software to ensure the online activity is limited to age-appropriate content. By using the proper software, it is not only possible to block access to the more undesirable content, but it also makes it possible to prevent personal information being share via online programs.
