Hey there, internet user! 🖐️ You've probably heard about the scary word "phishing," right? It sounds like fishing, and it kind of is. But instead of fish, the bad guys are trying to catch your personal information! 🎣🚫 Thankfully, there are ways to avoid getting caught. Here are the top 5 best practices to keep you safe: At least in our opinion of course;

  1. Look Before You Click!

    • Suspicious emails: Ever received an email that looks a little...off? Maybe the spelling is wrong, or it's asking for personal information? That's probably a phishing attempt. Always double-check who's sending the email. If you don’t know the sender, or something seems fishy (pun intended 😉), avoid clicking on any links or downloading attachments.
       
    • Check the URL: Before clicking on a link, hover your mouse over it. You'll see the actual web address it'll take you to. If it looks weird or doesn’t match the company’s usual address, it's best to stay away.
       
    • Unreal Offers: If something sounds too good to be true (like winning a lottery you never entered), it probably is!

       
  2. Use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

    • Extra Protection: Imagine having a second lock on your door. That's what 2FA does for your accounts! Even if someone gets your password, they'll need another piece of information to access your account.
       
    • Easy to Set Up: Many popular websites and services offer 2FA. It might be a code sent to your phone or an app that generates a number. Either way, it's an extra step that can keep you safe.
       
  3. Keep Software Updated

    • Patching Holes: Just like a ship needs patching to avoid sinking, your computer and phone need updates to fix any security gaps.
       
    • Automatic Updates: Most devices have an option to update automatically. Turn this on, and you won't have to worry about missing an update.
       
    • Stay Informed: Sometimes, news reports will talk about big security problems. If you hear about one, make sure your device is updated.
       
  4. Educate Yourself and Others

    • Knowledge is Power: The more you know about phishing, the harder it is for the bad guys to trick you.
       
    • Share with Friends: If you learn something new about staying safe online, share it with your friends and family. They'll appreciate the tip!
       
  5. Backup Important Stuff

    • Prepare for the Worst: Sometimes, even if we're careful, things can go wrong. That's why it's a good idea to have backups of your important stuff, like photos or documents.
       
    • Cloud Storage: Services like Google Drive or Dropbox or even ERP software like LucidTrac can store your stuff safely online. If something happens to your device, your stuff is still safe!

 

Remember: The internet can be like the wild west, with bandits (phishers) trying to trick you. But with these tips, you'll be prepared and safe! 

That's it for me today remember to stay as aware as you can #softwareKing
