Stay Safe Online This Holiday Season
As the holiday season approaches, many of us turn to the internet for shopping, socializing, and even scheduling big purchases like a new car. While the convenience is undeniable, it's important to stay vigilant online to protect your personal and financial information.
Top Online Safety Tips
- Use Strong, Unique Passwords: Avoid using the same password across multiple accounts. Consider using a password manager to keep your credentials safe.
- Watch Out for Phishing: Be cautious of emails or texts that ask for personal details, especially those with urgent language or suspicious links. Legitimate companies won’t ask for sensitive information this way.
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Adding an extra layer of security to your accounts makes it harder for unauthorized users to gain access.
- Keep Software Updated: Make sure your device’s operating system, browser, and apps are up to date with the latest security patches.
Holiday Shopping Safety
December is a peak time for online scams. When shopping online:
- Stick to reputable retailers and verify you're on the correct website (look for "https" in the address bar).
- Avoid public Wi-Fi when making purchases or entering payment details.
- Monitor your bank and credit card statements regularly for unauthorized charges.
