The internet can be a valuable resource and a very helpful tool, but it’s not without its risks. Online safety is essential if you want to safeguard yourself against scams and fraudsters looking to compromise your data. By making strong cybersecurity habits a part of your daily life, you can guard against such risks.
Here are a few ways you can keep yourself safe on the internet:
- Set up two-factor authentication on all your accounts. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) helps protect your account from fraud and unauthorized use by adding an extra layer of security when logging in to Cambrian Online Banking and Cambrian Mobile Banking. It’s a good idea to enable 2FA on any account or service that offers it as an option.
- Reset your passwords several times a year. Old or re-used passwords are at greater risk of being compromised. Changing your passwords regularly and using strong passwords helps guard against fraud. Read up on our best practices for strong passwords!
- Protect yourself from phishing and other scams. Phishing scams are designed to trick you into providing your personal information or downloading harmful attachments. Learning how to identify phishing and other popular scams is an important way to protect yourself online.
- Ensure your devices are up to date. Laptops, tablets and smartphones regularly receive security updates and patches to protect against the latest vulnerabilities. Be sure to keep all of your devices up to date to protect your personal data.
