CRIME PREVENTION TIPS - CYBER CRIME SECURITY (PART TWO)
  • Secure your Mobile Devices: Be aware that your mobile device is vulnerable to viruses and hackers.  Download applications from trusted sources.  Install the latest operating system updates.
  • Protect Your Data: Use encryption for your most sensitive files, such as tax returns or financial records. Make regular backups of all your important data, and store it in another location.
  • Secure Your Wireless Network: Wi-Fi (wireless) networks are vulnerable to intrusion if they are not adequately secured. Public Wi-Fi, aka “Hot Spots”, are also vulnerable. Avoid conducting financial or corporate transactions on these networks.
  • Protect Your Identity: Be cautious when giving out personal information such as your name, address, phone number, or financial information on the internet. Make sure websites are secure.
  • Avoid Being Scammed: Always think before you click on a link or file of unknown origin. Don’t feel pressured by any emails. Check the source of the message. Never reply to emails that ask you to verify your information or confirm your user ID or password.
